    Eileen, I loved your 'Cork Reindeer', however, when I saw it handing on the tree, I couldn't help be notice a angel handing below it on the tree. Did you make that angel, and if so, Do you have a pattern for the wings, arms and dress? Did you use a wooden bead with doll hair for the head?

    Please, advise at your earliest convenience. Thank your for your creative craft ideas. Sincerely, Charlotte

  2. Hi Charlotte,

    Thank you. I'm glad you like my ornaments.

    Here are the pattern and instructions for the Country Look Jute Ribbon Angel Ornament.

    Her face is made from a 1 1/2-inch diameter wood disk which you can find at a craft store - or cut your own. You could also use chipboard or heavy cardboard and paint the entire disk.

    There are always options with crafting ;-)
