Rainbow Angels - Versatile Gift

This angel is so versatile...

These angels were made as birthday gifts to go with the rainbow cards here,

but I can see us making these at Christmas for sure...and as Guardian Angels for bedrooms!

I was given some lovely raw sheep fleece a while ago from my lovely friend D.

Now I know what it was for...

Start by teasing a bit and tie the head with ribbon.

Leave the ends long enough for arms.

Cut wings out of felt.

I cut a heart shape but Big Seed cut 2 separate wings.

Needle-felt the wings onto the fleece.

At this point add a bit more fleece if it looks thin in parts.

As this was a birthday gift I felt I needed to put some more effort in,

so I cut some rainbow wool from Syrendell and needle-felted it onto the edge of the wings.

I also tied a bit of orange wool in a circle for a halo and needle felted that to the head.

Sew a bit of cotton through the head and wings so it hangs upright.

Taaa daaa... a rainbow angel.

Easy Weaving

We have done some rainbow weaving

using cardboard from a cereal box and rainbow wool.

Rainbow Feet

Now that I have made my first knitted square,

I am really into rainbow wool.

Aren't these gorgeous?

They are made by Grandma Seed from

Crystal Palace Mochi Plus Wool : Intense Rainbow from here.

They are great in the chilly mornings...and are going to be fab in the Autumn.

Everyone needs a pair of rainbow socks in their lives!
