| INSTRUCTIONS: |
1. To cut foam, wax the knife blade with an old candle for smoother cuts. Cut cones as follows:
a. Small angel: Slice 1/2" from base and 5" from top
b. Medium angel: Slice 1/2" from base and 4-1/2" from top
c. Large angel: Slice 4-1/2" from top |
| 2. Tightly stretch a 4" x 4" piece of white stocking around each ball; bind ends tightly with thread and trim off excess fabric. Push toothpick into top of cone, add glue, position ball with tied end down and push ball onto toothpick. |
| 3. Wrap each cone in quilt batting, overlapping ends slightly in front; trim excess batting at bottom and top of cone. |
| 4. Cut twelve 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" pieces of white stocking; following diagram, pair fabric pieces together and sew six arms. Trim close to seam and turn right side out. Stuff with fiberfill; glue end closed. Attach to body with pins and low temperature glue. |
| 5. Fold in half lengthwise three 13" x 4" strips of quilt batting; cut ends to point, forming collar. If ends pull apart, re-glue with gel glue and pin with clothespins till dry. Glue collars over arms around tops of cones. |
| (NOTE: For Steps 6 - 8, separate quilt batting into two layers and use only one thin layer.) |
| 6. Hats: Sew a gathering stitch 3/8" from edge of 6" circle of quilt batting; pull thread, fitting circle around top of head. Glue hat in place. Repeat for other two angels. |
| 7. Fold 12" x 4" strip to create a 12" x 1" strip; place around hat, covering gathers, and gluing ends to the back. |
| 8. Glue 1/2" wide strips around sleeves and base of cone. |
| 9. Glue ribbon trim down center front of coat. Glue ribbon rose on collar. |
| 10. Spread thin layer of glue gel over angels; sprinkle with micro glitter. Randomly glue silver star confetti to collar and hat. |
| 11. Glue on beads for eyes. Blush cheeks. |
| 12. Wings: Tie 2/3 - 1 yd. tulle ribbon in large bow; glue to back of angel. Repeat for remaining angels. |
