1999 Window Sill Angel

Here are the simple, word-of-mouth instructions I was given for this angel:

    body and head – wooden “man” (2 5/16”)

    robe – 7 1/2” gathered lace (2” wide)
        7 1/2” gathered lace (1” wide)
        Hand stitch two laces together (2 rows of stitching); leave needle at end of each.
        Draw up tight around neck on wooden body. Use one thread to sew up back of robe.

    face – Draw on wooden head with pen.

    hair – Jute regular curled doll hair
        Put tacky glue all over head. Put 4 rows of hair from side to side, bangs, and vertical
        piece on back of head.

    wings – Gold-trimmed lace (1” wide)
        Cut two pieces of lace, 4 scallops each. Overlap edges and stitch together; gather up
        tightly. Fold in half and stitch together at end. Hot glue onto back of angel.
        (Or use purchased gold wings.)

    trim – Glue small bow made from narrow ribbon.
        Hot glue gold ring halo on head.
        Attach ribbon or thread for hanging.
