The Power of an Angel

Did you know that angels are messengers from god?  Most angels are pure and illuminate a bright light.
I have always felt that my house is shared with a few angels, I am sure of two but there may be a third.
At times you will see a small bolt of light bolt across the room and then either stop or twirl around,
I also feel a lightness in my bedroom and I know i feel the spirits of angels in there.  It's such a comforting feeling knowing they watch over me.
Here are a few facts about angels; most of us have three or four angel with us at all times. One of those angels happens to be your guardian angel. If you need their help, all you have to do is ask them. Angels are not human so they can't  read your mind.  You just have to ask for their support or help. So angels are my thing and I love them!  So, based on these feelings, my next craft was to make an angel. We made these precious angels during our last girls weekend at the Jersey Shore.  We had so much fun and the angels turned out unique.

Here is a peek of what they turn out to look like.



Supplies needed

Pick out a few large artificial poinsettias.
They must have a wire stem and wire in the leaves.
I use a large wooden spoon to wrist the stem around it.
This will create the base. Then start pulling the leaves up.







Next step is to take one leaf at a time and mold the leaf downward to create the angels body. Then second layer start to mold and then
bend it downward. Just like the pictures shows. It's kind of making a dress out of the leaf


Our baby Angel.

So Beautiful

You can cut off some of the beads from the center of the flower
and then glue them on the petals. Next, I used the green leaves from the stem
 and glued them in the back of the angels to make her wings. For the head I use a
wooden craft ball and glue it into the center of the angel to make her head

I need to add a bit more sparkle to the left wing.

So Pretty

The Angels together. 

 



They turned out so pretty. 
 I am going to use mine for the top of my Christmas Tree.

Horn a Plenty Centerpiece

Today my granddaughter spent the day with me, because she wasn't feeling well. We cuddled and read books and after awhile she perked up, so I thought we would make a "Horn a Plenty" for Thanksgiving,  (umm.... I was planning to make it this weekend anyway but it's much more fun to make it with her).  It would be perfect for your Thanksgiving centerpiece.   It's made out of Pillsbury Crescent rolls, so it's also edible.  The fun part was I gave my granddaughter a piece of the dough and she made her own. She had so much fun rolling the dough into different shapes and then molding it around her own tin foil. She is so much fun.
Okay, so here is how I made it:
I used 2 packs of Pillsbury crescent rolls, I think it turned nice. After it cools down, you just add some fruits or nuts and Wha La, you have yourself a festive addition to your table.   Enjoy!

Final results

Supplies needed: 2  packs of Crescent rolls, tin foil, a piece of paper and Pam.

Fold the paper into a cone shape. Then shape the foil around the paper.
Mold the tin foil into a horn shape.  Then remove the paper. Spray the tin foil with Pam.
 Next, roll out the dough in a few rope like links and twist around the tin foil.

 

  


Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes

Once it cools down after baking, slowly remove the tin inside
the the horn shaped bread. My granddaughter made the small one. 
How adorable.



 

A Horn of Plenty

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !



Turkey Time !

Here's a cute and colorful Turkey craft.  I think it would make a cute addition to any Thanksgiving centerpiece. My sister and I had lots of fun making these together and it's a great way to recycle those old light bulbs. Warning.... because this craft uses a light bulb, it's not for young children to make.  I don't want any boo-boos.  Gobble, Gobble !


Here are all the supplies needed, light bulbs, craft paint, small straw hats,
feathers, felt &  small google eyes.

 

Paint the bulb with brown craft paint, then paint 2 wooden hearts orange.
Once paint is dry hot glue hearts to bulb. then glue eyes and a felt beak. 
Then hot glue a straw hat on his head.

Arrange some colorful feathers.

Sad sister, got some hot glue on her fingers..Yikes

Looking Good.....  :-)



Finally,
Two Strutting Gobblers.......Ha Ha !
