A Tiny Angel Tutorial

You might remember the little angel I made last year for my 450 followers give-a-way? Yesterday I made an even smaller angel.  :D

This is how I did it.

2 strands of stiffened ivory embroidery floss - for her arms and legs
1 small seed bead - for the head
3 strands of yellow embroidery floss - for her hair
Small piece of tissue paper and a small flower punch for her dress

First I folded the stiffened embroidery floss in half and inserted it into the bead. Then I pushed the fold up and added hair in the loop above the bead. I did a little wigging cross to style her hair.

Here is my finished little angel. Hope you like her. If you poke the photo you can see her better. My camera just doesn't take good pictures of things this small!

True2Scale has shared 100 Miniature Christmas tutorials! If only I had more time! :D

Kikka and Julia, don't despair! I'm mailing your gifts today!

PS. As of this morning there are 600 Followers of my little blog! Wow! Welcome everyone! This calls for another give-a-way! Stay tuned!  :D

Roses

I've been wanting to try to make miniature roses. I used Carol's tutorial from True2Scale. These are the steps it takes to make them.




Here are my finished roses. The vase was a gift from Jill at Little Nest Studio. Thanks Jill!



If you want to make roses, pick a day when you have lots of time and lots of patience! :D Thank you Carol for such a detailed tutorial! I may try to make more in other colors...
