DIY Farmhouse Christmas Angel

September 26, 2018 by Shellie Wilson

This DIY Christmas Angel has a rustic farmhouse feel to it. This Christmas ASngel can be used as a wreath on your front door or just a Christmas hangup for an inside decoration. This tutorial is easy to follow and as it is rustic farmhouse style you can add your own rustic style to it by using what you have available.

You will need:

1 x 10cm piece of wood slice for the face around 1/2 inch thick

2-3 metres of lace

1/2 metre piece of soft tulle

bunch of plastic or dried lavender sprigs (as shown)

50g of craft moss for the hair

large buttons or wood slices for the dress

10x x40 cm twigs for the body.

Start by creating your body. Lay the twigs down and secure in a wide bunch with glue or florist wire.

Glue the lavender sprigs like wings going out from the body (twigs) leaving space for the head. Glue the head (wood circle) in to place.

Add the tulle to create the dress. Glue the buttons and lace into place to finish off the dress. You can use some lave to create a Halo or use small contrasting flower sprigs such as daisies or baby’s breath. Hand a cord at the back for hanging, try and secure the cord to the twigs as they will be the most stable.   Then glue the moss hair into place.
