Christmas with all it's glowing wonders is upon us once again upon us. Snow dusts the tree's and shimmers in the light. Twinkling lights are all aglow with anticipation of that one special night. The night that light a million children's hopes and dreams. The night the angels come out and sing them to sleep and they lull in their heads all the sweet sounds. In this very special time of year are so many beautiful and wonderful things to do. Crafting is such a big part of the holiday season for me and many others alike. We dream an enchanted dream and vision those special momento's that make the holiday season unique.
In this article I wanted to talk about making angels bears, this is a very simple and easy craft to make and I am sure that you will want to make many of these, these would make great stocking stuffer's! This would make a great afternoon project for any group.
You will need a few supplies, to start this quick and easy project. A four inch jointed teddy bear, found in any craft store. A pair of four inch gold puffy wings, or maybe you want to make your own wings from raffia, in that case you will need a package of raffia. A pair of scissors, hot glue gun, some ribbon and flowers and a three inch doily.
Take your jointed bear and hot glue it's angel wings on whether it be the gold puffy ones or raffia ones. To make the raffia wings just take six to seven strands of the raffia and tie a bow and clip off the excess. Either way hot glue this on the back of the bear. Not take the doily and fold it over and put a dot of hot glue on the neck of the bear and press the doily on there and hold for a moment. Now you may begin making your ribbons to hot glue onto that. An easy way to make bows out of the spool ribbed ribbon is to wrap several times around your first two fingers and then in the center secure with wire or another piece of the ribbon and tie into a knot. Not hot glue this on the front of your bear and center it in the middle of the doily. Now you will want to add your flowers, with a dab of hot glue. There you have a beautiful little angel bear that was so easy to make.
