How to make Wooden Spoon Angels
Posted by Judy on November 21,
I hope these instructions are easy enough to understand!
Supplies:
wooden spoon,
white craft foam,
1/2" wooden ball,
spanish moss,
craft wire (I used gold but the original one had unfinished wire),
sheer white or gold wired ribbon,
flesh paint,
gold spray paint.
Directions:
glue ball about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" from bottom of spoon(nose).
Paint the bowl of the spoon with flesh colored paint.
Paint the handle with gold spray paint (you may want to cut a couple of
inches off the top of the handle if you think it's too long).
Paint or use a felt tip black marker to make the eyes
(oval shapes with a white or cream dot in the middle).
I used a fine tip marker to make a few eyelashes just above the eyes.
Form a circle with the wire for the halo - leave a few inches hanging
down behind the halo so you can attach it at the top of the bowl
(where the flesh and gold paint meet). I just wrapped the wire
around the spoon and put a dab of hot glue on it. Glue a small amount of
spanish moss over the place where you wrapped the
wire - the spanish moss will hide the connection.
Cut wings out of the craft foam - I made one piece - about 8 1/2" from tip
to tip and about 3" from top to bottom on either side of the face.
Attach in the middle of the back of the spoon.
Make a small bow and attach it at tne bottom of the spoon
(where the neck of the angel would be). Some wooden spoons have screw-ineyes on the top for hanging, or you can buy them or punch a small hole in the top and glue a small amount of narrow ribbon inthe hole.
