Deco Mesh Christmas Angel

This Deco Mesh Christmas Angel would make a great tree topper or could dress up any Christmas wreath. The instructions for making the angel are so easy and the supplies are not expensive at all!

Materials

  • 1 Plastic ornament ball any size you choose
  • Pouring Medium
  • Acrylic Paint I used white
  • 1 Plastic cup
  • Glue Gun
  • Wired Jute Twine from Dollar Tree
  • 10 strips 10" Deco Mesh I used white with silver strands
  • 2 Zip Ties clear
  • Ribbon of your choice
  • 1 Optional embellishment I used my favorite bling

Instructions

  • Remove the ornament hanger from the ornament.
  • Drop a small amount of the pouring medium into the ornament ball.
  • Pour a small amount of acrylic paint into the ornament ball.
  • Swirl around in the bottom to mix and then swirl around to coat the inside of the ball.
  • Turn ornament upside down and allow to drip dry inside of the plastic cup. (You can also use a heat gun to speed it up, but be careful not to melt the plastic ornament.
  • Cut the 10" deco mesh into ten, 10"inch strips.
  • Taking opposite corners of the mesh pull them outwards and then pinch in the center.
  • Collect all ten pieces in one hand at the center.
  • Secure with one of the clear zip ties at the center.
  • Section off five tails from each side of the arrangement and secure with a second zip tie approximate 1-2" down to create the bottom half of the Christmas angel.
  • Hot glue the ornament onto the top of the center of the angel shape.
  • Using the wired jute twine; glue around the "neck" of the ornament and create a halo.
  • Taking the ribbon of your choice tie a pretty bow around the neck of the ornament to hide the twine and pull the bow tails down to hide the zip ties.
  • Hot glue on an embellishment to the center of the bow
