Today’s highlight: Wire Cross Angel Ornament

Just look at this cute wire cross angel ornament. It’s named a “wire cross” angel simply because the wire “crosses” to form the body and wings of the little angel.

The wire cross angel ornament uses very simple and inexpensive materials along with tools you have around your home. After you make the first one or two, the steps are so easy that you can make them faster than you can read the instructions!

Take a look at one of our examples of the wire cross angel ornament:

It’s simple. It’s cute. You can make a lot of these wire cross angel ornaments quickly for a school or church bazaar.

Chenille wire is inexpensive and buttons and beads can be purchased cheaply in bulk.

In addition to using the angels on Christmas trees or as holiday decorations, you can add the cute little angels to packages as another little gift decorating the wrapping.

Make a few or many of the wire cross angel ornaments, but have fun!

Paper Sphere Ornament

Clothespin Angel

Hello again, it’s been a while. I’ve been off on another project that took lots more time than I expected. But, I’m ready to start adding more easy and inexpensive craft projects to www.funEZcrafts.com.

Here’s a recent addition that’s simple, fast and cheap – a clothespin angel.

A little bit of ribbon or lace, a clothespin (real or craft) and a chenille wire makes a pretty little angel to hang on your Christmas tree or decorate your home for other holidays.

They also make easy decorations to add on gifts instead of or in addition to ribbons and bows. The little clothespin angel would be an additional keepsake with your gift.

These pretty angels can add beauty and maybe a little whimsy all year – not just at the holidays.

Head on over to the Clothespin Angel page for the materials list and the how-to steps with accompanying pictures.
