Angel Wreath Made By Margaret Furlong

Are you getting ready to put your angels out for Christmas? A lovely way to decorate inside or outside your home is to use your angels on a wreath. With each unique angel, memories of past Christmas come together in a rich circle of holiday themes.

I like to use ribbons to match my Christmas colors, and also find beautiful natural gleanings from my garden to add to an evergreen wreath. Here I tucked stems of lavender and red berries behind and peaking out from each angel. The six 4” angels I selected  are a collection of six different angel designs.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR WREATH

1. Wire the angels on first. Loop a wire through the ribbon holder on the back of the 4” angel. Thread the two wire ends separately through to the back of the wreath and then tie together. Be sure this attachment is snug because the angels need to be nestled in tightly. This sets you up to add the ribbons.
2. Tuck the ribbon bows behind each head – no wiring or gluing needed.
3. And now finish it up with hot gluing your fresh or dried gleaning from the garden.

You will have created a wreath rich with meaning and festive materials for your holiday home.
