Instructions
-
As shown in the photo, spread four sticks slightly apart on the one end and hot glue them together at the opposite end. This will be the angel's dress.
-
Hot glue the fifth stick behind the others so that it will protrude above the end where the four sticks were glued together.
-
Spray some of the ink mist into the plastic bowl and use a paintbrush to apply ink mist to the angel's dress.
-
Use a dry paintbrush to add gold dusting powder over the angel's dress.
-
Paint a layer of Mod Podge over the angel's dress to keep the gold dust in place and allow to dry thoroughly.
-
Use Bostik and glue the flowers cut from the lace fabric to the seam and to the collar of the angel's dress.
-
Paint a piece of white felt with the flesh colored paint and allow to dry. Place the plastic lid onto the painted felt and use a pencil to trace around the lid. Remove the lid and cut the traced circle out.
-
Glue the felt circle to the part of the stick that protrudes above the dress.
-
Cut small pieces from the brass scourer. Use Bostik to glue it to the felt circle to make the angel's hair.
-
Use the black pen to draw facial features on the felt.
-
Use Bostik to secure the skeleton leaves at the back of the dress - this will be the angel's wings.
-
Use Bostik to secure a piece of embroidery floss to the back of the part of the stick that protrudes above the dress. Now you can hang and enjoy the angel.
