This is one of my favorite kinds of crafts! I think she needs a special name as well, so I’m asking everyone to place their favorite name in the comments for me…

Supplies Needed to Make a Deco Mesh Christmas Angel

• Plastic ornament ball any size you choose (Dollar Tree) they now have white ones
• Pouring Medium
• Acrylic Paint (I used white)
• Plastic cup
• Hot glue 
• Wired Jute Twine from Dollar Tree
• 10″ Deco Mesh (I used white with silver strands) Dollar Tree
• 2 Zip Ties (clear is best)
• Ribbon of your choice
• Optional embellishment (I used my favorite bling)

Step by Step Instructions for How to Make a Deco Mesh Angel

Step One: Create the Angel Head

Remove the ornament hanger from the ornament. Drop a small amount of the pouring medium into the ornament ball. Pour a small amount of acrylic paint into the ornament ball.

Swirl around in the bottom to mix and then swirl around to coat the inside of the ball. Turn the ornament upside down and allow it to drip dry inside the plastic cup. (You can also use a heat gun to speed it up, but be careful not to melt the plastic ornament.)

Step Two: Cut and Gather the Deco Mesh

Cut the 10″ deco mesh into ten, 10″inch strips. Taking opposite corners of the mesh pull them outwards and then pinch in the center. Collect all ten pieces in one hand at the center. Secure with one of the clear zip ties at the center.

Step Three: Secure the Deco Mesh

Section off five tails from each side of the arrangement and secure with a second zip tie approximately 1-2″ down to create the bottom half of the Christmas angel.

Step Four: Assemble the Christmas Angel

Hot glue the ornament onto the top of the center of the angel shape.

Step Five: Optional Embellish the Deco Mesh Christmas Angel

Using the wired jute twine; glue around the “neck” of the ornament and create a halo.

Taking the ribbon of your choice tie a pretty bow around the neck of the ornament to hide the twine and pull the bow tails down to hide the zip ties.

Hot glue an embellishment to the center of the bow.

If you wish to hang the angel; add a third zip tie in the back as shown in the VIDEO TUTORIAL.
