Angel wreath in white and silver
I love angels and collect them whenever I can. I have miniature angels that I used for this stunning wreath. I wrapped some elegant white and silver ribbon on a styrofoam form and glued miniature angels on top. I draped a long strand of pearly beads in variegated colors weaved in and out the ribbon.
This wreath I am especially proud of because I love the combination of silver and white. I just can't decide where to put this lovely wreath.

Glittery Angel Onaments and garland
These easy to make cute angels were made out of toilet paper rolls.... believe it or not. I was so busy making these that I regret that I didn't take picture of the the step by step directions.
1. I took a toilet paper roll and marked 1/2 inch increment strips all the way to the end of the roll and cut the strips.
2. The wings are shaped to a triangle shaped, used 2 of the strips for those.
3. Cut 2 strips in half, the bottom will be curved ...its very easy to bend and curl any strip (I used the edge of my kitchen counter and it curled any strip I wanted). The top part of skirt is will pointy so that the wings can be glued to that part.
4. The wings at either end are glued to the pointy end of the skirt with hot glue.
5. The head is cut in half then, cut again and glued to a cirlcle. you can use tacky glue for this part. Let it dry for a bit. The other half of the strip will the halo which will be glued to the wings on either side (all strips will be hot glued). You will see the head is suspended on it's itself because the halo is joined to the wings.
6. I though it will kinda clever to do it that way. Then. I just took plain craft glue and sprinkled different glitter on each angel. I did those two ways: I did the garland where I put string all through going in and out of the wings of each one and continued to the other angel.
7. Then I took off the garland and made them individual ornament and put silver curling ribbon around the head. I can't decide what way I want to go.
