Felt Angel - Cut a body and wings out of 2 pieces of felt. Glue or use double sided tape to attach the 2 body pieces and wing pieces. Use a wooden bead for her head and yarn for her hair. To attach her head, take a couple of stitches in the neck of the felt. Pull the thread thru the top and bottom hole of the bead. Loop the thread for a hanger and pull it back down to the neck. Tie it off.
Clothespin Angel - Use an old-fashioned clothespin, a wooden bead head and 5 inches of 4" wide gathered lace for her dress. Use 20 inches of 1" wide lace fashioned into a bow for her wings.
