Tenth Ornament of Christmas

December 22, 2011 1 Comment

We’re in the home stretch, guys! Just a few days til Christmas and a few ornaments left. Take a look at the first 9 ornaments of Christmas.

First Ornament of Christmas (vintage felt ice skater)
Second Ornament of Christmas (easy DIY poinsettia)
Third Ornament of Christmas (scroll-sawed snowflakes)
Fourth Ornament of Christmas (plastic canvas poinsettia & birdie)
Fifth Ornament of Christmas (bedazzled felt boot)
Sixth Ornament of Christmas (painted puzzle piece candy cane & snowflake)
Seventh Ornament of Christmas (lace & pipe cleaner wreaths)
Eighth Ornament of Christmas (retro felt bird)
Ninth Ornament of Christmas (felt horse head)

And today we have an ornament I got through my mom. Most likely, this little angel was made by one of the women on her side of the family.

Pipe Cleaner Angel Ornament

Isn’t it so freaking adorable? This is made from just a painted wooden bead and a pipe cleaner. The pipe cleaner used was this kind, but I can’t find a name for it. The variable width of the pipe cleaner is key. Check out the back of the ornament to see how to construct it:

Make a halo in one end of the pipe cleaner, and thread the rest through the wooden bead head. Fold the other end of the pipe cleaner into three loops, creating two arms and a body. Ta da!
