Holiday Yarn Crafts

how to make a yarn angelThese simple and adorable holiday yarn crafts are perfect for creating with your little ones. I have been making yarn dolls since I was a little girl. My Mother and I would make them using scraps of yarn. They are a sweet addition to your holiday decorations, added to your tree and tied to gifts.

These little Christmas hats are meant  to be used as bottle toppers, or ornaments for the tree. A  whimsical way to add a little Christmas cheer to an unopened bottle of wine or a bottle of infused olive oil. Perfect when you present it as a hostess gift or just place it on your holiday table or buffet. Unfortunately I didn’t have any wine and I buy olive oil in very large bottles. So I popped it on the top of a perfume bottle. You can tie them on gifts and add them to your Christmas tree too.

 Lets Make It! Cut a piece of card stock to measure 4 x 6. Cut out  the angel wings from the remaining card stock.

Place the yarn on the card holding down one end at the bottom of the card. Begin to wrap until the card is full of yarn, do not wrap to tightly.

Cut a piece of yarn from the skein about 10 inches long and slide it trough the top of the yarn on the card

Tie a knot and remove it from the card. Smooth the yarn down. Cut another piece of yarn from the skein about 10 inches long and tie it with a knot about an inch down from the top to create the head. Carefully remove from the card. Once again, place  yarn on the card holding down one end at the bottom of the card. Begin to wrap until the card is half full of yarn, do not wrap to tightly, this is for the arms. Cut two pieces of yarn from the skein both about 10 inches long . Tie a knot about half in on both ends. to create the hands.

Cut through the bottom of the looped yarn and trim to create the skirt of the angels gown. Attach the wings to the yarn angel by sewing ( or gluing.) at the center just below the head. cut a thin strip of paper from your scraps of card stock and create a circle ( use a little bit of tape) to use as the halo. Slip it over the yarn ties at the top of the angel head. Taa daa!

Cut a slice ( cardboard ring) from the toilet tissue roll about 1/2 inch wide. Cut about 40 pieces of yarn from the skein each about 10 inches long.

Fold  a piece of yarn in half and slip it through the cardboard ring. Pull down both ends through the yarn loop and tighten ( not to tight) continue adding more yarn working slowly around the loop until it is completely covered ( make sure no cardboard is showing).

    We used to do the dolls in red yarn. As kids, we loved making them and putting on packages and the tree. I like your wings and halo add-ons. I need to check my yarn stash!

    I never made the yarn dolls, but I had a little Raggedy Andy doll made like the Christmas Angel. Actually, I still have him … 70 years after I got him. Now I think I will make some for my granddaughters.
