How to make an Angel - SAMS

At SAMS the Christmas theme is well underway. It is a fabulous Aladdin's cave of craft materials giving you the ability to be green, support your neighbourhood recycling and save money all at the same time.

Joanne from SAMS has sent me this great idea for a Christmas Angel made entirely from recycled material and more importantly from things which you can find at SAMS.

To make an Angel

You will need:

                                         

 

 A Cone

     

Rosette Ribbon 

Wool 

Filter or Wadding

Some old tights

And some card to make wings, arms hands and a song book

What to do:

Cover the cone with the filter / wadding, using a piece to make the arms.

Make a head from the tights and any bits of leftover filter or wadding.  

Use the wool to make hair.  

Draw a face with felt pens

Fix the head to the body with glue

Wrap a piece of rosette ribbon around the neck to make a collar

Cut some wings out of a piece of card and fix to the back of your angel

Cut some hand shapes out of card and a song book and stick them on

So come along to SAMS this Christmas and make your own decorations, keeping the kids occupied during the holidays in bad weather, whilst also helping the community and recycling waste! To allow us to pursue other activities SAMS will close to members on Thursday 15th December at 4.30pm and open again on Tuesday 3rd January 2012 at 10am
