"I can't get enough angel crafts. What's your favorite angel project to do with the kids?"


angel_chrystal_small.gif (4404 bytes)Handmade angels are everywhere! Kids as well as adults love to make them. We have several angel projects already posted on the site and have added a couple more thanks to our visitors. This crystal angel project is from Julie osafe_angel_guardian.gif (3997 bytes)f Marrietta, GA. They're easy to make and come out beautiful. We've also added a new version of our safety pin angel. Make a yellow Guardian Angel to watch over our military personnel overseas. Our project prepack makes 18 angels.

Here's more ideas from our visitors:

Foamie Angels
"Use a foam star for the body. a heart for the wings, a circle for the head. Add a tinsel pipe cleaner halo and decorate with glitter."

Paper Clip Angel
"Turn a large ideal clamp (the kind of paper clip that looks like an 'X', not the standard loop-de-loop) upside down. It looks like an angel already. Simply tie a loop of silver cord to the center and slip a silver or crystal bead on the cord and glue it in place. You can add a silver bow on the front to dress her up."
--Brynn, Coolville, Ohio
