Introduction....
This angel can be made from scraps of fabric you already have. She is a cute size and can be a quick ornament for your tree. It can be a wonderful hostess gift for all of the fun parties!
This elegant angel is a hand sewing project.
The first step is to make all of your circles into yoyos. See the pattern for your circle sizes. Put a loop knot in your thread and start on the right side of the fabric.
Put both ends of thread through the needle eye.
baste around the hole circle.
Hand baste approximately 1/8" away from the edge of your circle.
Pulling the thread tight and tying off the thread.
Pull the thread tight and tie off your thread. Repeat this until you have all of your circles done.
Taking the doubled thread down through the center of your smallest yoyos.
Make your thread loop by threading both ends of your thread throught the eye of the needle. Starting with the smallest yoyo in the center make a loop knot.
Keep adding smallest to largest yoyos in the center to your needle and thread. When you have them all on pull them tight. Take a the needle back up the near center of the bottom largest yoyo and go back to the top of you angel body. Pull it tight again and make sure every yoyo is snug so it doesn't move. Tie off your thread. DO NOT CUT YOU THREAD!
After you have knotted your thread you put your head bead on the thread. Then you go through the center of your ribbon loop across it through both sides. Go back down your head bead and your ribbon loop will go down the bead. Tie off and knot your thread a couple of yoyos down from the top close to the center of the yoyo you choose.
Take your tulle or fabrics that you choose and sew across the middle of the rectangles. Pull you thread tight and knot it off. Please don't cut your threads.
Attach your wings two to three yoyos down from the top. If you need to bury your knotted thread in the middle and go up to the yoyo you want to start at. Pull the threads tight so the wings will be right against the body and stitch the wings on.
Pull the bead up slightly and put a drop of glue on the top yoyo. Push the bead down onto the glue and put a clothes pin on the ribbon to keep the bead there. I hung mine up in this picture.
Do a knot at the top of our ribbon for hanging it up! You have finished your Angel.
