Angel Instructions:

1. Using a round plate between 10" and 12" in diameter, trace and cut two circles.

2. Take stuffing and push it up into the center of one circle to form a head, as shown in the video. Using needle and thread, wrap the base of the head to form a neck and knot off thread.

3. Spread out the top circle and place in directly on top of the flat circle, stitch into place.

4. Cut a 5" piece off of gold trim and set it aside for halo.
    
5. Fold the remaining piece of trim in half and align the center with the back of the neck. Bring both sides of the trim to the front, cross it in front, and bring both ends to the back, under a fold of fabric on each side/top for arms. Cut off any excess trim, and sew or glue ends into place.

Angel Wing Instructions:

1. Cut 20" square of tulle.
    
2. Bring all four points to the center and tack it down with needle and thread.

3. Wrap the thread twice around the center of the folded piece vertically, as shown in the video, and tack.
    
4. Wrap thread twice around the folded piece horizontally, slightly lower than the center so the wing top is longer than the bottom of the wings, and tack. Knot off the thread.
    
5. Stitch or glue wings into place.

Angel Halo Instructions:

1. Form a 5" piece of gold trim into a circle and glue or stitch it into place around the head.

2. Your new rustic angel ornament is complete!
