Reminder Angel

Materials Needed:

  • 1 Large round woodise
  • 2 Large heart woodise
  • 5 Mini craft sticks
  • 3 Craft sticks
  • 1 Mini clothes pin
  • Paint
  • Pearl bead sting
  • Fine tip markers (very fine .5 or .1)
  • Tacky or elmers glue
  • Glue gun
  • Magnets or crafting wire
  • Newpaper
  • Waxpaper (to protect work surface)


Instructions:

First cover table with newspaper and lay waxpaper on top of that. This keeps the newspaper from sticking to your project.

Take your mini sticks first. They are the hardest to do. You want to place them where you have two sticks glued together at an angel, edge to edge making a v with it on the side of the sticks. You need two sets of these. Then you need to take the final mini stick and glue the two that make a v together with the mini stick in between them so you have a smooth center.

Glue three craft sticks together on the skinny sides so they are laying flat side by side. Glue on mini sticks so that there on top of the three mini sticks they should fit snuggly if done right where the sides fit over the three craft sticks and they are in three dimential ontop in a M shape. This is the angels skirt so place it towards the bottom but not at the bottom of the craft sticks.

Glue on the head on top of the craft sticks above the mini sticks. Add the heart woodsies to the back to make wings. I usually do the hearts with a glue gun they last longer that way. Glue mini clothes pin on the center mini stick at the bottom of the skirt. Once it is glued together and dried, then peel from the waxpaper should come off really easily.

Paint as desired. Once the paint is dry, spray with an acrylic sealer. Once that is dry, add your beaded pearls around the head.

Write REMINDER ANGEL with small tip marker down the center. Place your business card or pocket card in it to give away or sell. This is to keep track of appoinment cards and have them in one handy place. I always take the appointment card for the next date upcoming and put it on top.
