My name is Courtney Hester on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we're going to be making
an angel using a flat slotted clothespin. We'll need our flat slotted clothespin here
first, then we're going to take a tiny wood stick and cut it in half for your arms. Once
we've cut it in half we're going to glue it on the sides for the arms, glue one on this side at a slant. Next we're
going to do the dress, I'm going to put a dot of glue on the back towards the top and
we're going to stick one end of our yarn in the glue, then we're going to begin to wrap
it around the clothespin nice and tight. We're going to start to go around the arms and then
we're going to switch and start going underneath the arms. Now that we've wrapped all the way
down to the bottom, we want to put a dot of glue on the back to attach the other end to
hold this in place. The next thing we're going to do is wrap the arms in yarn. So again we'll
start at the back and put a dot of glue, we'll attach the piece of yarn towards the back
and we'll wrap the arms just like we did the body and we will do this for both arms. Now
that we have wrapped both arms we're going to take our gold cord to make a belt. Then
we're going to take our gold cord and again just like we did with the yarn, you're going
to add a dab of glue to the back,
I fix the cord and just wrap around a couple of times and then attach in the back. Now
our angel has her belt. The next thing we're going to do is use our felt to make some wings.
I have already cut out my wings, I just freehanded these or you can find a pattern. I'm going
to add a dab of glue on the back to attach our wings. Now our angel has her wings. The
next thing we need to do is do her hair. For the hair we're going to take the yarn in our
hand and make some loops back and forth. We're going to give her white long flowing hair,
if you wanted to give her curly hair you could make this kind of curly and put glue all over.
Once we've cut the loops we're going to glue this to the top of her head. Now our angel
has her hair. Now we need to add some eyes using our marker.
