Posted on July 28th, 2007 by SusieJ
Here are the instructions onĀ how to make this angel.
- Fold (# 50 PAGES) front and (#50 PAGES) back — by taking the bottom right hand corner and folding in half with the right hand corner touching the spine.
- The back pages will be folded with the book open, so folds go towards back. The completes the Angel wings.
- Fold remaining pages of the hymnal by taking by taking the upper right hand corner and folding in half with the upper right hand corner touching the center of the spine.
- The makes the skirt of the Angel.
- Folding must be accurate – as it shows on the front of the completed Angel and the book will not stand alone if not folded accurately.
- Next place a wood head (the one that is flat on the bottom) Glue in place.



















I made something similar to this using a raffia bow rather than ribbon and excelsior (shredded Aspen wood fiber) for the hair. I omitted the doily. This gave the project a more primitive, simle look. Hope that helps!
