SENIOR LADY: CUTE ANGEL.PROJECT!
I was in the mood to do angel crafts. I needed
to find a new method for creating my angels.
Angels made from wood cut outs and from lace
paper doilies were among my Christmas projects
a few years ago. I researched online for ideas.
The last source I checked was videos. I saw a
fascinating video which showed a lady making
a toilet paper dress for her angel. I was skeptical
about this using craft. I thought toilet paper would
be too fragile and tear easily when handled. I did
watch the entire video. I was impressed and decided
to try this craft. I forgot to save the video and tried
to do my own version for creating this angel. It looked
fine with the purple accessories. However, I needed
exact measurements if I wanted to feature this craft
on my blog. After reviewing several videos, I found
the right video tutorial. I saved the angel craft this
time. I used this video for inspiration. Here are the
details for my version of toilet paper angels:

NEED:
2 Toilet Paper Rolls
Roll of Toilet Paper
Spool, Green Satin Ribbon, 1\8 inch wide
Small Green Gem Stickers
TOOLS:
Ruler
Scissors
Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
Wood skewer or Pencil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Tear off ( 5 ) 8 inch sheets of toilet paper.
Fold the sheets in accordion style. Tie top portion
of bundled toilet paper with the ribbon ( Leave
1\4 inch border at the top). Need long tails of
ribbon at end to tie bow in front.
Gently fluff out ends of toilet paper to form a dress.
Separate each layer to make dress look fluffy.
Lay one of the toilet paper rolls down ( horizontal ).
Cut it in half. Cut 5 rings, 1\3 inches wide.
Cut open each ring. Use tip of pencil to curl the
end of one of the rings. Curl end very tightly as
you continue to roll the ring into a circle. Glue
the end.
Open second ring and glue one end to the circle.
Wrap the entire ring around the circle to make
it larger. Repeat the process until all four rings
are wrapped around the circle. This finished
circle will be used for the head. Let circle dry completely.
Use scissors to trim the top portion of the
dress ( above the bow) even, so it looks flat.
Glue to circle head onto the flat area, seam
side down. Press the circle head down and
make sure it is in the center of the dress.
The green gems can be attached to the top of the
head. Use dot of hot glue under each gem. The gem
stickers can come loose and fall off. These gems will match the green bow on the front of the dress.
Press second toilet paper roll flat. Crease the
edges of the roll with end of the scissors. Cut
6 rings, 1\3 inches wide. Cut 2 rings, 2 inches
wide; 2 rings 1 3\4 inches wide; 2 rings, 1 1\3
inches wide. These rings will be used for the
wings.
Glue one set of wings on each side of the angel,
near the side of the head. Press down so
it sits firmly.

it in half and tie ends into a knot. Attach hanger
to back center area of the angel. Globs of glue
may be required to make knot on hanger secure.
