Welcome to washcloth crafts!
These one cloth angels are very easy to shape and sew. They can be used as a favor to hold a fragrant sachet bag or a piece of  wrapped chocolate candy for a bridal or baby shower anytime of year, but especially at Christmas time. Just tuck the treat inside of the tummy or skirt of the angel.

 As a bridal or baby shower favor, the angels can also be used as ornaments. To turn them into ornaments, string a strand of gold lame (or fishing line) with a needle through the top of the head, and then tie it off to form a loop.

For a little more glitz, use acrylic gems, and then dust them with fine, white glitter or fairy dust.

For a child wedding guest, the angels can hold a plastic toy ring or an ice cube to soothe a boo boo. Attach a little card to the Boo Boo Angel, explaining how to use it (poem is included in the instructions).

Eighteen thin, white washcloths can be purchased at discount department stores for $4 a package. The angels are inexpensive and fun to make and can be used in a variety of ways to suit each guest. Grandma may like a sachet, but your younger friends or family members may like to use the angel as a Christmas tree ornament, or they may rather have a dark chocolate truffle inside of their angel.

Happy Crafting!
