Decorating an apartment should not only be at the arrival of guests or such major holidays as the New Year. Delicate angels, made with your own hands and placed inside your home, instantly create a special mood before Christmas. You can also present crafts depicting the brightest creatures on Earth, to present to relatives and friends.
Angels in the interior
It is very simple to decorate your home with flat figures of celestial creatures. To do this, just apply the desired contour on the paper and cut it out. Such crafts are a great idea for co-creation with children. If desired, you can decorate the finished clippings with sequins or rhinestones, feathers can be glued on the wings. Such
angels, made
with their own hands , will be appropriate to look on the walls and windows, or as pendants. If you want the figures to be more durable, make them out of cardboard. Volumetric angels are no more difficult to do. The material can be paper or fabric. For the body, cut a circle, cut one radius in it. Fold the blanks from the blank and connect the edges of the cut. The head can be made from a fabric ball or a
cotton pad assembled in a circle
. The body connects to the head with threads or with glue. Wings are most conveniently made of paper or felt. Do not forget about the halo; for him, take a thin wire. Make a ring suitable for the diameter of the head. You can decorate it with feathers or string beads. Attach the halo at some distance from the crown. DIY craft can be supplemented with hair or clothing. If desired, work out the face of the doll, draw eyes and lips. You can embroider them with beads or threads.
Gift Figures
Beautiful weightless angels are obtained from translucent fabric. Take a small square of white or golden organza. Put a cotton ball in the center and cover it with material so that the corners of the fabric remain free. Lock with a thread, and then form two hands and a longer cloth from the remaining material. Fasten also with a thread, just tying knots in the right place. The figure of an angel is almost ready, it remains to think about its decoration. You can use all the same techniques as for paper figures. If scale permits, decorate the body of the angel with lace or hand embroidery. But it is not necessary to work on the face, sometimes the faceless creations of the light look much more interesting and mysterious than the usual ones. Angels made with someone’s hands as a gift to someone should look quite voluminous and solid. Why not sew a full-fledged soft toy? Decide on the style: tilde dolls with nimbuses and wings look good, and you can make an arbitrary “chubby” figure of a child angel.
What else can angels be made with their own hands?
A good idea is to make a doll on a wire frame. To do this, outline the trunk and limbs with rigid elements, fix the head-ball immediately. Then cover the blank with fabric or decorative paper.
An angel, sewn
from a fabric with his own hands , can be made using the technique of application and can be a flat pendant. Do not be afraid to bring to life any ideas. For example, you can weave small figures of celestial creatures from beads or crochet. Offer to do creativity and children, for sure together you will come up with more different angels and successfully bring all ideas to life.
