Crafty Lady Sandi Christmas Angel



Hi! Crafters!

Since I now have delivered 31 angels for my doctor and sold everything except the angels on that I am selling on my ioffer site at www.sanditipple.ioffer.com. Now, I can give out the directions for my Christmas Angel. You do not need to use the colors I have done. Be creative!  Only tip I can give you is the wings should be a different color than the skirt. I give the angel that extra jazz, especial if you use the Pipsqueak yarn as a ruffle.

FYI:  I am not a writer or technical writer; just an individual who love to crochet.
I never fully did my own directions please let me know if there is a question or if you do not understand what I mean or anything at sandi_tipple@yahoo.com.  I will do my best answering you questions.

Crafty Lady Sandi Christmas Angel




Materials; White or Blue or Green or Red, Red or green Metallic yarn, or Christmas yarn, White Pipsqueak yarn, H hook, Scissors, 3 or 4 inch ring, 2 Stitch markers

Abbreviations:

Directions:
Wings section:
Variations; White wings or Blue wings or Green wings
With H hook and yarn variation of your choose.
Take one ring and start at the 7 o’clock position on the ring.
Row 1:  Attach yarn with a SL ST and begin SC around the ring.  Attach with a SL ST to first CH
Row 2:  2 SC in next 11 SC, CH 3, and turn.
Row 3:  DC in same ST as joining, 2 DC in each DC across, CH 3, turn.
Row 4:  DC in same as joining, *DC in next dc, 2 DC in next DC*, Repeat from *, CH 3, turn.
Row 5:  Dc in same ST as joining, DC in each DC across, CH 3, turn.
Row 6: Repeat Row 5.
Fasten OFF.
Skirt section:
Count 11 DC on each end.  Place a stitch marker on each end after you count in 12 DC.
Use the color of your choice to make skirt and an H hook.
FYI: I like to work in tails as you go.
Row 1: SL ST in DC after stitch marker and CH 3, DC in each of the DC up to the stitch marker on the other end, turn.
Row 2:  CH 3, DC in space where you did the CH stitch, 2 DC in each DC across, turn.
Row 3: CH 3, DC in each DC across, turn.
Row 4: Repeat Row 3.
Ruffle section:
You can use the pipsqueak yarn and H hook.
Some I continued with the same as with the skirt. It depends on you.  Again I work the tails in as I go.
Row 1:  CH 3, DC in each DC across.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.

NOTE: if you do not want the flare of the ruffle with the pipsqueak yarn or it hard for you to work with the yarn. I know it takes time to get used to it.  Just continue with color as the skirt or use the white yarn to finish the angel.

Angel Projects for children to make



Hi! Crafters!

This project seems to be one for a child who is in middle school or higher in my opinion.

Feathery Angel Ornament

 


Materials: 20mm wooden beads. (Be sure to buy ones with 2 holes in them), white feathers - short ones or medium (about 6 inches) ones, Silver pipe cleaners cut into 2.5 inch pieces, String for the hanger,  silver crochet thread, Paint Pens, Fine black marker, Pink Crayon, 10 inch piece of pipe cleaner (any color) folded in half, Glue (glue gun or strong craft glue)

Directions:

To paint the face and hair

Put the folded end of your 10 inch pipe cleaner into the hole of a wooden bead. Hold onto the pipe cleaners while you create the angel's face.

Create the angel's face. Use paint pen for the hair, a fine marker for the face, and pink crayon for the cheeks.

Letting the head dry

Let your angel face dry. You can set it in a jar or glass.

Bend silver pipe cleaner into a circle. Glue it onto your angel's head for a halo.

Squirt glue into the bottom hole of your angel's head. Place two feathers in the hole with the glue.

Take 7 inches of string, fold it in half and knot it. This will be the hanger for your ornament.

Squirt glue into the hole on top of your angel's head being careful of the halo.

With a pin push the knot of your hanger into the glue filled hole.
Let dry!
