At my recent stamp party I gave these sweet bow angels to my guests that brought a friend with them to the party. Everyone really liked the angels so I thought I would share the instructions ith you so you can make your own bow angel.
- Punch out (2) 1 1/4" circles in blushing bride cardstock.
- I punched another partial 1 1/4" circle to create a template to draw the eyes with a stampin write marker.
- Punch 1 1/4" circle out of champagne glimmer paper.
- Punch a second circle with the 1 3/4" circle punch offsetting so the circle is narrower on one side.
- This will be the angels halo.
- Adhere angel face to the bottom of the halo with a glue dot. Set head aside.
- Cut (2) small loops and (2) tails using the gift bow bigz die.
- Texture cut bow pieces using the petals a plenty embossing folder.
- Use hot glue to create bow loops.
- Hot glue bow loops together overlapping ends.
- Punch 1/2" circle out of gold foil paper and 7/8" scallop circle out of champagne glimmer paper.
- Layer punched pieces with dimensional dot.
- Adhere punched shapes to front of bow with dimensional. Set bow aside.
- Add (2) glue dots to the back of one of the tails.
- Adhere tails together overlapping to create a V shape at the bottom of the tails.
- Adhere angel head to tails with dimensional dot.
- Hot glue bakers twine to back of second 1 1/4" circle.
- Hot glue 1 1/4" blushing bride circle to back of angel head.
- Back of completed angel.
- Front of completed angel.
Hope you enjoy!

thank you so very much for sharing how to create these wonderful angels love them
Mary-So glad you are enjoying them.
Thanks so much . . . I’ll prepare these cute angels, next December, to raise funds for a charity organization.
They are lovely! Thanks again!

So glad you like them!
These are so pretty! Thanks for sharing the instructions.
P.S. I’m a fellow North Carolinian from Apex, NC.
So glad it was helpful!
Hi Wendy, Thanks for sharing these Angels are beautiful. I have only one big problem, stay on a farm far from any craft shops, I need the dimensions to hand cut the bows etc. Could you perhaps help. Thanks
Mercia- the small loops are about 4″ long and a shy 1 5/8″ at the widest point. The tails are about 2 15/16″ long and 1 3/4″ at the widest point with a depth of 3/8″ for the V cut out. Hope this helps.
Of course you could save so much time and place an online order to get the supplies you need anytime and it will ship right to you. I am happy to assist you if you need me 🙂
I’m curious how these hang? Do they lean forward because of the string in the back? Would it be better to loop the string around the halo as long as good adhesive was used?
Kim- I have not had any issues with these not hanging correctly. I believe with the string attached to the head helps this.
I just finished making three angels,and I love them. I plan to place them on small gifts. Thanks for this beautiful project!
Great!
I made a slew of the for Christmas cards. I stuffed the wings with a small Cotten ball. now you have an ornament for your tree. I hate throwing out home made cards. Nancy
So fun! I am sure everyone enjoyed them!
