How to Make a Christmas Angel / Fairy Tree Decoration

This fairy I designed is based on an old fashioned clothes peg and a pom pom. First paint your peg like the photos below. I used acrylic paints, indelible pens, metallic marker pen (for laces on the ballet pumps) and glitter. Allow the peg to dry. Now make a pom pom following the instructions here Follow the tutorial to the point were the two cardboard rings are covered with wool. Take your peg and insert it into the centre of the wool covered circle.

I found a really nice soft tree pattern on Little birds she has kindly made a pattern to download. For inspiration go here and see the variety and variation that can be achieved with this simple pattern. I had to add face and legs to some of mine!

Bunting

After going to the Larks in the Parks I was struck how simple but effective the bunting was that decorated the stalls. Something so simple says celebration, it adds a carnival feel to a party, BBQ, or birthday. I thought I would do a tutorial for a birthday bunting. I have designed the HAPPY BIRTHDAY letters to be downloaded and used in conjunction with Ryman's Inkjet Iron-on Transfers for light T-shirts. I have also included an alphabet in case you might like to add a child's name or just make a bunting with a name on, this would brighten up a child's room or playroom.
