Angel can be a favor, ornament or soothe a child's boo boo!
      Decorate with foam board, acrylic gems, or sequins.
        Try a heart mouth instead of a round for the Girl Angel!

Welcome to Washcloth Crafts! 
TerryGami is the softer side of origami!
 
Boo Boo Angels can be used to soothe a child's boo boo or they can be used as ornaments for Christmas trees, sachets for a dresser drawers, or as party favors for holdiday parties or for Christmas weddings. Treats, cash, potpourri or an ice cube can be tucked into the angel's skirt or tummy. Use the angels for a special favor for pre-school or elementary school Christmas parties.  

The angels can also be used as art projects or activities for kids or elder groups.  They can be used for bazaar sales at fall festivals or church craft shows. Have fun discovering your own special way of decorating them.  Use acrylic gems. Note:  Tiny star and round gems for the wings can be found by the scrapbook area in craft stores. 

The angels are easy to make and the wings can be glued instead of sewn, if you would like to fore-go the scalloped wings. Remember, wide-eyed, bunt-end darning or plastic needles can be used on terrycloth because of the wide weave of the material.  Elders and children will appreciate the wide-eyes of the darning needle.  I know I do!

If there isn't enough time to make the entire angel, let the children decorate them with the sundry materials available today, including sequins, glass gems, glittered foam board, beads, wood cut outs, etc. Dust them with white angel dust or fine glitter to add a little pizazz, if using for a Christmas ornament.

Happy Crafting!
