I can’t believe Christmas is around the corner, where does the time go? I remember as a kid it felt like forever before it was Christmas. Now that I’m older I just have to blink twice and Christmas is here. How does that happen? Talking about blinking, are you a Dr Who fan? I love the series. It’s the longest running Sci-Fi series and the time-twisting Doctor often finds  himself in the oddest places confronting some really weird and scary creatures. One of my all time favorite episodes was called “blink” and it was genuinely creepy. There were these statues of weeping angels who seem pretty normal, until you blink. Wowza, I’ll l never look at an angel statue in the same way again.  Well I  might look, but I sure as toffees won’t blink, ever!!!

I must have had angels on my mind when I was surfing perusing the internet for some Christmas craft inspiration because I found this awesomeness. FaveCrafts always shares such lovely stuff, and their favorite angel crafts post got me thinking about making some angels for Christmas. One’s that don’t blink 😉 Like this little lady with her big eyes.

And even if she does blink, those eyelashes will keep any nasties away. She was super easy to make too.

What you need to make the big eyed angel

How to make Styrofoam Christmas Angels with Big Eyes

Start by covering the Styrofoam cone with the gauzy material. Use a pin to secure the material at the bottom of the cone.

Wrap the Styrofoam cone in the gauzy fabric and pin to secure

Push those gorgeous big teddy bear eyes into the Styrofoam ball. Be gentle, this angel is going to keep watch over you during the festive season 😉

Insert the large teddy bear eyes

Use a tiny bit of the glue that comes with the false eyelashes and stick the eyelashes on.

Push a skewer into the top of the cone and slide the head on.

Insert a skewer into the cones and join the head

Wrap a little bit of the material around her head and use a piece of wire and some beads to secure the material to her head. A ribbon will also work or even some twine.

Drape gauzy fabric over the angels head and add some beads

Take the fairy wings and pin them onto her back. Apologize profusely if you think you might be hurting her.

Pin the wings on the back of the angel

She probably took me 1/2 hour to make so I’m going to make lot more for all my friends that celebrate Christmas.
