Dollar Tree Bandanas Made into Angels

How to use Dollar Tree Bandanas and make into Angels. These little angels look so cute sitting on a shelf or mantel. You can make them in any color for any occasion. How about making some in YOUR team colors? You can buy handkerchiefs/bandanas from the Dollar Tree or almost anyplace. It is best to buy all cotton versions.

Dollar Tree Bandanas Made into Angels, First Steps

Begin by choosing two different colors of bandanas. You could choose all one color if you wish or more than two. Cut or tear into about one inch strips. You can also use pinking shears to cut them if you do not want a straight edge. My Mom uses pinking shears since she has arthritis and finds tearing them to be rougher on her hands.

Second Step

Then you fold them in half and create a tassel that makes the body. You then tie the tassel portion with twine or whatever ribbon you have to match.

Third Step

She then glues on twine for her arms and a wooden ball for her head. Sometimes we stain the wood and sometimes we leave it raw. And then other times we paint it. It’s all your preference. We ended up painting this one to match her wings.

You may add a face or hair if you wish. We sometimes use moss for the hair. We normally leave all our angels “faceless”. You can also add a halo.

Attaching the Wings

Here is where the Dolls become ANGELS. The angel wings are made from lace or crochet ribbon that has been mod podged to stiffen it up. Glue them on and Voila you have an Angel. Now for the embellishments.

Embellishments

We chose to put a silver crown on this one. I buy these crowns off Amazon. Just search for crown cake toppers. You can click here to find my favorite products. Some of these are affiliate links.

We also added a TOTALLY DAZZLED pin to make her look as if she is holding a flower.
