Cutting and looping wired ribbon forms the body, while folded ribbon creates elegant wings. Attaching the wings and head completes the form, and a bow and halo, made from twine, give these angels character. Niky added her own touch with a halo.

Customization options abound – buttons for detail, varying ribbon patterns for style – making these angels a sentimental addition to your festive decor.
