Christmas Angels: Give Christmas Kitchen Linens With Spirit

Posted by Mary Welling-Bonney Nov 16, 2008

Materials Needed:

• Two kitchen towels
• Two kitchen washclothes
• One square hot pad
• One piece of ribbon (about 12" long)
• One twist tie or piece of wire.
• Iron

Preparation

1. Take the hot pad and bunch it up from corner to opposite corner. Secure it using your twist tie or wire. Leave the excess on the ends hanging for the moment.
2. Open your towels and wash clothes. Using your iron press the towels accordion style. You will want about a one and a half inch fold all the way across. Repeat for both towels and for both wash clothes.

Assembly

1. Keeping your towels folded accordion style, stack them one on top of the other.
2. Lay the accordion styled wash clothes on top of the folded towels. Make sure they are centered.
3. Fold the whole piece in half with the wash clothes on top.
4. Tie the ribbon around the wash clothes and towel about three inches from the top center. This makes the head of your angel. The wash clothes will flare out a bit making your angels arms. The remainder of the towels are the angels body.
5. The hot pad that you bunched up are the wings. Move the wire through the ribbon and secure making sure the wings are horizontal.
