How about angels made of crochet thread -- you make them like a tassel, winding the thread around a piece of cardboard about the size you would like final length to be. Use a small styro ball or cotton ball to make the "head" at top of tassel, tying with thread under the "head". Wrap another batch of threads to make arms, slip under the head and tie below the arms. bring ends of arms together to make praying hands.
Add a halo -- wire, beads, metal ring -- and glue wings made of lace or ribbon to the back.
Your angels can hold ribbon roses, beads, etc
in their hands.
