"Angelic" Makeover...


So you might remember these...


The candle stick finials I made a while back...you can see that post HERE.

I just thought they were pretty little "set abouts"...and after carting them to 2 stores and a couple of shows...and selling one or two...I decided maybe they needed a new life, a change, a fresh start...been there :)


I roughly cut the wings out of cardboard...using my hands as a template...just like I did my Springy Angels.


Remember these?  If not...see more HERE.


I adjusted the pattern a little bit for the smaller ones.  If my kiddos would have been home I would have used their little hands...next time :)


Wrapped the base in twine...and added a little vintage sparkle.


The wings are just clipped on with little mini clothes pins in the back...simple and sweet I think.


And now these little "lovelies" are going to head out to one more show...

Wish them luck :)

  5. I know what you mean when you make something you think is so cute and then turns out not to be the big hit you thought it would be. Then something you think is 'eh' flies and you end up making more, even if it's not as fun for you. Weird, you just never know.

    Good luck at Junk Market Under Glass! Hopefully someday a trip up north will coincide with that event.
