Bits & Bobs for the Holidays!

Christmas is only 36 days away!

OMG! 

Can you believe it! As usual, I am behind! The project I am sharing today is just one of MANY I have in mind before the big day!

For these little Spool Angels, I used various bits & bobs from Altered Pages & my extensive stash of such things.

Inspired by Pinterest

I covered the large spool with some Glitz Joyeux Noel paper & then hammered in nails onto the top edge. Then I added beads & charms to some chain that hangs from the nails. Then I cut out the Angel from the Ivory Angels collage sheet & adhered her to a broken pencil I hot glued into the center of the spool.

There's a Religious Saint Medal in there too!

For this angel, I painted the spool white & then covered it with the Music Washi Tape before embellishing it with tinsel trim & a vintage rhinestone button. I used some French book pages to give this girl wings.

the last Angel sits atop a different spool with tinsel trim & ribbon with a paper button in the middle.

On all three Angels, I used the fabulous Wink of Stella to add some glitter to the various gold parts on the images. LOVE that pen!! (the angels are attached to a broken pencil sticking up through the spools.)

Lastly, I made some ornaments too…

Here, I wrapped a small spool with tinsel (the loose kind), trimmed it up & then added the pom-pom trim. Then I threaded a silver tinsel pipe cleaner thru the opening in the spool & hung a Saint Medal Charm on the end.
