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.

ANIMATED SNOWY SCENE

This cute ornament was made out of a powder drink container believe or not. What I did was to and cut a oval in the front with a exacto knive, keeping about 1 1/2 inches from each end. I added little ornaments such as snowmen, santa, and teddy bear. Then I sprinkled faux snow and cut a little scened from a greeting card that I glued at the back.

 I hot glued the miniature ornaments to the bottom of the inside of the container and I had a little wreath that I hot glued to the back wall of the container. With craft glue on the top of container, I sprinkled faux snow all over and attached a battery operated tealight at the end where the plastic lid is. I pushed the tealight in from the outside and glued in so the on/off switch would work.

This colorful fall wreath was made with a cardboard form that I made myself. I added fall leaves from the store and felt pumpkins and pears in orange and yellow.
