Vintage Angel Ornaments

4:20:00 PM


 This project was a cinch and the results are beautiful!

First I started with an old, yellowed, paperback dictionary...
does anyone even use a dictionary anymore?


I tore out pages, rolled them into cones and glued them leaving the torn edges.

Next I stapled 6 cones together at the tips.


I applied glitter glue along the yellowed edges of the paper.


Thanks to the Graphics Fairy's beautiful images, I copied an angel and cut out only the head and arms.

I used the glitter glue to highlight the wings and headband of the angel... and attached her to the 6 cones.


I attached a circle of silver card stock to the back of the ornament for stability and attached a gold string through the opening.


A beautiful vintage paper ornament!

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box​ ​and ​I ​hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

  8. This is beautiful. Again you are getting creative ideas popping in my head.
    I recently cleaned out a home with hundreds of books, too many to read in a lifetime, and some not in good enough condition to donate.

    Have to love that Graphics Fairy, don't we. :)
