Vintage Angel Ornaments
4:20:00 PM
This project was a cinch and the results are beautiful!
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!

ReplyDeleteSusan, that's beautiful! What a clever idea and a great project! I could see a bunch of these on a Christmas tree or even hanging off chair backs.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love using book pages for anything -- the glitter on the angel and dress is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteYour angel ornament is really pretty :-) The dress made from dictionary pages is a great idea, and the glitter accents are the perfect embellishment :-)

ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
This is beautiful. Again you are getting creative ideas popping in my head.
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
