I just love sparkly Christmas ornaments, and it’s so much fun to make them from kits. Yes, I love having all the supplies already gathered in one place, and to let someone else do all the designing and decision-making, for a change. I get my kits from Herrschners.
These are parts of angel ornaments from a Bucilla kit I started several years ago. It had a dozen angels, all blond and brown-eyed. Surely not all angels are blond, so I gathered wool for some different hair colors, including gray. And I varied the eye color, too. The designs on the dresses were too repetitive, so I decided to use different beads and stuff to decorate them. So much for letting someone else make all the design decisions.
Five angels have been done for several years. The last seven have been in pieces ever since. Now that my big, secret project is done, I’m going to finish these little gals. If I finish one angel a week, and they should all be done before Christmas.
