I love angel wings and I got this itch to try to make some of my own for decorations on my Christmas tree. I had this vision in my head and tried to bring it to life. They came out even better than my vision.
I started with a cardboard box, several spools of organdy ribbon, some braided gimp, an old rhinestone earring for some bling, white craft paint, some fluffy feathers, and my trusty glue gun. I had everything I needed in my stash so they didn't cost me a thing. I loved them. They just look so heavenly! With Christmas right around the corner, I thought I would share. If you have about 5 hours to spare, you can make some for your Christmas tree this year!

This little girl took 70 yards of organdy ribbon cut into 6" strips! I drew out the shape of the wings I wanted on a piece of cardboard from a box I had in the garage.
This is the pattern I drew and cut of how I wanted the shape of my wings to look on the cardboard that became these sweet wings.
I made some shredded paper wings and used the same exact process to create these wings, just the materials were different. The tutorial shows me making the paper wings but following those directions will be the same for these wings. Give it a try....they are beautiful! If you have any questions leave a comment on the blog, and I'll try to answer asap! Enjoy!
