Ribbon Angel How-To

Ribbon Angel ChoirThe conversation went like this.

Martha: I am trying to find a pattern for an angel, using the ribbon with wire along both sides. The ribbons were not hanging freely, but folded in a way that made the gown/body and arms/wings. Can you please help me?

Me: Could you be talking about the angels in my Ribbon Angel Tutorial? If so, I would be extremely flattered. If not, I'll see if I can help more. Please provide further details. What is different about the angels you are seeking?

Martha: I really can't elaborate on the angels, they appeared to be shaped by "pinching" the wire-sided ribbon. I am assuming that they were glued to hold them together. I was able to determine that taking a length of ribbon, attaching it to the waist area, then shaping it, formed the gown.

At least, thank you for replying to my inquiry. I make and send ornaments to my grandson, who lives in Kansas (I live in PA) every Christmas. Being 73 years old, I know that my days of crocheting the ornaments are running out, and I am trying to locate new and different patterns to use.

If these aren't the angels you seek, see if you could use any of these?
