#DIYAngelCrafts: Burlap Angel Garland

November 12, 2015 by Carolyn Wainscott

Hello, it’s Carolyn Wainscott with an easy angel craft – a burlap angel garland to decorate your mantle, Christmas tree and more!

I don’t have a mantle that would show it off so took it outside to the spot I had spected out several days before but that didn’t suit-maybe a little too rustic and not enough contrast.

I had also thought about draping around a large tree-you know, trying to get all artsy/craftsy- but that didn’t work either so back into the house and after trying several options decided to drape fabric to hang the garland over-that worked pretty well-

I love the fancy ornament hooks I found while searching for something else to use, forgot about even having them, very fortuitous, don’t you think?

The roping was chosen to match the burlap angels and stars. At one point the angels and stars were going to be left perfectly plain but I decided at the last minute they needed some embellishment so ran to Hobby Lobby with a coupon [I just love coupons, don’t you?] for glitter glue [more on that later].

Materials:

  • 1 yard burlap-this will make about 12 or 13 of each figure
  • 1 yard Fairfield Stiffen 2 [very stiff with fusible on both sides-20″ wide]
  • roping-this one is about 10′ long
  •  pattern below
  • cardboard or template plastic to make templates
  • optional trims, paints-glitter glue [this took a long time to dry, I got very aggravated waiting]
  • I used ornament hooks to attach angels/stars to roping-original thought was jute cording to tie
  • hole punch

Instructions:

  1. Place Fairfield Stiffen 2 between folded burlap and fuse both sides.

2. Trace pattern onto cardboard or template plastic.

3. Trace motifs to burlap/Stiffen sheet and cut out.

4. Embellish if desired with glitter glue, sequins, etc.

I am a 75 year old widow of 3 years after 55 years of marriage whose main focus in life has been my family and homemaking. I love designing, creating, and re-purposing. I was very involved with my children and their activities, then my grandchildren, and now with my great, grandchildren. My first love in crafting is in textiles, mainly quilting. The first quilt I designed was for my grandson over 30 years ago and that pattern will soon be available online. I am loving the internet world where I can market my designs, publish tutorials and talk with crafters all over the world from my own little corner of the world even though never having a lesson on the computer or internet networking I do have to call on my grandchildren at times for help. They still think I rode in on a dinosaur but that's ok, I'm having a great time. I have enjoyed a great deal being able to share my love of crafting on FaveCrafts and FaveQuilts.
