Fixing an angel

One day a little while ago, I got a phone call

from my friend, Diane.

She was asking a favor, she needed an angel "fixed"

Some of the ladies in her church, look for 

Christmas decorations at garage sales,

then they "fix" them and sell them at their

annual bizarre. 

Someone had picked up this angel, she is 

actually in pretty nice shape, but was holding a 

really ugly poinsettia.

Diane removed it and needed something 

for her to hold.

Of course, the first one she thought of was her 

crafty friend.......me!

A scroll, perhaps?

Of course, I can make a scroll.

I created a file and cut the words and "scroll" 

with my Silhouette Cameo.

I covered the back sheet with double sided adhesive tape

and adhered it to the back of the cut out scroll.

I covered the words with gold glitter,

since the back piece was covered with the adhesive,

the glitter stuck to it.

I burnished it with a bone folder to be sure it was

stuck down nice and secure and wouldn't flake off.

I used my bone folder to curl the ends and 

low and behold I had a scroll for the angel.

Here she is with her new scroll.

And a closer picture.

Here is a close up showing the scroll from 

an angle to show how it curls and how the words 

sparkle.
I didn't glue the scroll into the angel's hands,

I think Diane wants to fuss with her a little bit more, 

then she'll glue it on with some hot glue.

I think this is a pretty good "fix"

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you've learned something or been inspired 

to fix something yourself.

I hope you'll stop by again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
