With this issue’s FREE GIFT, and a little paint and glue, you can construct a precious Christmas angel to hang from your tree over the festive period. It’s so simple even little ones can create their own.
Make a blonde fairy
Use acrylic paint and a fine brush to paint hair, eyes and a mouth onto the rounded top of the wooden peg from the kit, using the photo as a guide. When the paint has dried, twist a screw eye into the top and tie a loop of red thread through it. Glue a length of glitter cord around the head to create a halo.
Cut the wide ribbon in half at the meeting point of the two designs and sew the ends of the striped piece together to make a tube. Gather the top edge of the tube with running stitches, slip it over the peg and tighten the gathers to form a waist. Secure the thread tightly and add a dab of glue to prevent the skirt from slipping down.
