✨ Today's Christmas Craft: Vintage Lace Christmas Angels! ✨
Good Morning and Happy Saturday, Crafting Friends!
Christmas will be here before we know it, and I thought it would be wonderful to spend this weekend creating some beautiful, meaningful Christmas decorations!
Today, we're turning old lace, thrifted doilies, and a few simple supplies into the sweetest little Christmas angels!
These would look beautiful hanging on your Christmas tree, decorating a gift package, or given as a thoughtful handmade present.
And friends, you don't have to spend a fortune to create something special!
🧵 SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED:
❤️ Vintage lace doilies or lace fabric
❤️ Small wooden beads for angel heads
❤️ Ribbon or twine
❤️ Hot glue gun and glue sticks
❤️ Small pieces of cardboard or felt
❤️ Gold or silver pipe cleaners for halos
❤️ Optional pearls, tiny bells, and decorative buttons
✂️ LET'S GET CRAFTING!
Step 1 – Find Your Lace Treasures!
Look for lace doilies at thrift stores, yard sales, or in your sewing supplies. Even stained or slightly damaged pieces can work beautifully!
Step 2 – Make the Angel's Dress!
Fold a small lace doily into a cone shape, overlapping the edges slightly. Secure with a little hot glue. Add a small cardboard circle inside the base if it needs support.
Step 3 – Add the Head!
Glue a wooden bead to the top of your lace cone. Hold it in place until secure.
Step 4 – Create the Wings!
Take another small piece of lace, gather it in the middle like a bow, and attach it to the back of your angel.
Step 5 – Add a Halo!
Shape a gold or silver pipe cleaner into a small circle and glue it behind the angel's head.
Step 6 – Make It Special!
Decorate with tiny pearls, a ribbon bow, or a little bell. Add a loop of twine if you want to hang your angel on your Christmas tree.
And just like that, you've created a beautiful handmade Christmas angel!
đź’° THRIFTY TIP!
One large thrifted lace tablecloth can make several ornaments. You can create a whole collection of angels in different sizes!
Estimated cost: $1–$4 per angel, depending on your supplies.
❤️ A LITTLE CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION
As we create these little angels, let's remember the wonderful message the angels brought on the night our Savior was born.
📖 Luke 2:10–11 (KJV)
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
Christmas isn't about how much we spend or how beautifully we decorate.
It's about celebrating the greatest gift ever given to mankind — Jesus Christ!
