This week is my annual Ornament Exchange with 7 of my crafty friends. For my ornament, I made a little county angel. I saw an idea on Pinterest, but changed mine up a bit.
I made my own pattern for the angel and I used some coordinating fabrics. Her hair is made from yarn that I braided for her face and then glued onto the back of her head.
I used a fabric pen to draw on her eyes and mouth and some pink Stampin Up ink to color in her cheeks.
Originally I was going to make a fabric star to go with each angel, but the two projects took a lot longer to make than I planned on.
I added some county-looking buttons that I've had in my craft for a long time (maybe decades!). I think they look cute with this project. For the wings, I made up a pattern, cut them out of some cream-colored felt and stitched around the edges. I took up a little dart in the back to make them fit her body.
Even though they were a lot of work, I still love them. I hope the other girls love them, too. :)
