Nativity Angel Craft

I made this little 5-1/4 inch angel from a  25¢ thrift-store doll!

Here's how:

1) Cover hair with masking tape.
Wrap lightweight cardboard around body.
Glue on lightweight cardboard wings and ribbon.

2) Cover the entire thing with gesso.
Make the back reasonably flat.

3)  Cover the whole thing with a plaster-type product;
I used Fix-All  (love that stuff!).
Put plaster in the bottom to make it flat, steady.
I stuck a curved wire in the back for hanging.

4)  Paint with acrylics!  Add a little glitter
to the headpiece and VOILA! . . .
a rustic little angel!
