End of Summer Angel


Summer is quickly coming to an end.  To celebrate the end of a glorious summer we decided to make a little summer angel. 

If you'd like to make one of your own you will need:
raffia
glue gun and glue sticks
seed pod, (for head)
flowers (for hat)
leaves (for wings)
dried flowers (for her bouquet)


To start take about 8 strands of raffia, (about 12 inches long), and tie them in the middle.  Take this and bend it in half and tie it again about 1 inch from the top.  This is your body.


Then take 8 more strand of raffia, (this time about 6 inches long), and tie in the middle, and about 1 inch from both ends.  These will be your arms and hands.


Taking your glue gun, attach the arms to the back of the body.


Then glue on the seed pod head, and a flower hat (if you desire).  Add the wings, (leaves), and your bouquet of dried flowers which you can glue between the hands.


And there you go!  A sweet little angel who will help celebrate these last precious days of summer!

Enjoy these final summer days!
