To assemble the angel, first hot glue a paper cupcake liner to the bottom of an upturned vase. Then, glue a strand of lace ribbon around the rim of the vase to create a collar. Glue the Styrofoam ball onto the bottom of the upturned vase.
To make the angel’s face, paint the Styrofoam ball with Mod Podge, then cover in a fine white glitter, like Diamond Dust and allow to dry. Next, glue on googly eyes and a red rhinestone mouth. Carefully pat on rouge for cheeks on either side of the angel’s face.
Next, glue moss on top of the Styrofoam ball to create the angel’s hair. This will require several layers of glue and moss. To create the halo, twist two pipe cleaners together and wrap a strand of tiny pearls around it. Fasten this halo around the angel’s hair.
Next, wrap a piece of thick, 1.5” satin ribbon around the narrowest part of the vase to create the angel’s bodice. If you have it, use peel ‘n’ stick (or more hot glue) to adhere the ribbon. Apply a strand of lace ribbon to the bottom of the ribbon bodice and to the top (now the bottom) of the vase.
To create the angel’s arms, wrap presto felt around a chenille pipe cleaner, then wrap satin ribbon around that using hot glue to stick the ends together. Glue a small strand of lace to the ends to create sleeve cuffs. Do this once more for the other arm, then fasten to the backside of the angel, using your best judgment for placement of arms.
Bundle several miniature pinecone and berry floral picks to create a tiny bouquet. Wrap satin ribbon around the stems of the bouquet and glue to the vase, positioned between the two arms.
Finally, glue a big glittered heart to the back of the angel for her wings.
