How to Make a Christmas Angel / Fairy Tree Decoration

This post has been keyworded under:
This fairy I designed is based on an old fashioned clothes peg and a pom pom. First paint your peg like the photos below. I used acrylic paints, indelible pens, metallic marker pen (for laces on the ballet pumps) and glitter. Allow the peg to dry. Now make a pom pom following the instructions here Follow the tutorial to the point were the two cardboard rings are covered with wool. Take your peg and insert it into the centre of the wool covered circle. Take a pair of sharp scissors and cut through all layers of yarn between the two edges of cardboard. Ease the two discs of cardboard apart slightly, double a piece of yarn and tie between the two circles. Now gently pull away the two cardboard discs, one over the head the other over the legs of your fairy. Fluff up the pom pom, to make it secure you can glue in place on the peg. Next glue on wings, I used felt for mine sprinkled with glitter for extra sparkle. To display the fairy tie fishing line or invisible thread around the fairies neck.
I love her!
Hello, Would it be at all possible for you to make me a JOINTED peg doll with arms? Could it be a man and be sawed off at the hip. With a painted top on? I'd love one with a lime green top but if its not possible then just leave it natural. And is it possible to have a peak cap? Lemon or Yellow would be fantastic.
I want him to sit (glued) on a tiny yacht & his arms to hold the sail strings. The whole design is to be done in Lemon & Lime. If you tell me the cost, I shall pay by Paypal & would prefer 1st class post because I need it for end of next week.
I'd be most grateful to you, because I can't do craft work, despite my many attempts, they always turn out disasterous.
I'd be delighted if you can possibly make this for me.
Kind regards,
Christine.
Hi Christine
Im sorry but unfortunately due to many factors, time being my main constraint, I cannot fulfil your request, although it sounds intriguing. I am sure you are far too self critical of your own crafting attempts, give it another go!
Kind regards
Anjie
Darling!
I love these angels! I think they would be perfect for my girls this year. Thank you for the tutorial.
I'm so pleased you and your daughter liked them, simple but effective!
They are absolutely lovely!!! My 4 yr old daughter and I were just looking for a pom-pom critter idea for a quick weekend project when we happened upon these! They're so sweet! She immediately asked if we could make one for everyone for Christmas! What a great idea and Fall project! Thank you!!
very cute idea.. :)
