How to Make Christmas Angels With Old Handkerchiefs
Today, I'm going to show you how to make handkerchief angels.
I was on vacation two weeks ago in Peru to meet my mom, and my sisters and my aunt were visiting Lima as well. We had such fabulous family time.
Now back home, I am organizing all the presents I got from my family there, and one of them is a bag full of old and antique handkerchiefs that I got from my aunt. These are such nice presents and I have so many ideas about what to do with them.
I hope you like this super simple but cute handkerchief angel ornament idea to start warming up for Christmas.
This is one of the angels we will do today.
This is another one
I tried to match the colors from each handkerchief and the angels 🥰
and this is another one.
I think this is my favorite, not sure yet :)
Tools and materials
Here you see the materials you need. Only old handkerchiefs, angel faces, wire, any kind of charms or pearls or whatever decoration you have at hand, and hot glue.
1. Add glue to the handkerchief
Start by putting a drop of hot glue in the center of the handkerchief (inside) so it remains a bit closed.
After adding glue in the middle, it should fall like this.
2. Add the angel face
Now, add a bit of glue in front and glue the angel face.
So it looks like this.
3. Make a hole
Make a hole using a needle.
4. Thread the wire
Pass the wire.
5. Decorate
Add decoration, charms, buttons, pearls; whatever you want and have at hand.
Use wire in gold color or any other nice color.
Add buttons, pearls or whatever you want to give the angel the final touch.
