Recycled Christmas Angels

 



 

This is my mantle 

this year.

Look closely at 

the lowest mantle shelf.

There you'll see 

my recycled

Christmas Angels. 




I made these from recycling 
and cutting up

last year's Christmas cards. 

Then adding clipart wings 

and cutting out the faces 

from photos that I took 

on my phone and 

then ran through the printer.

Then I glued them to a 

piece of 2X4 that I painted

white  . . . so they 

would stand up.

 



These are the ladies 

from my Bible study. 

They are not actual angels 

but they are prayer warriors 

and true believers 

in Jesus Christ our Lord. 

I thought it would be fun 

to have them lined up 

on my mantle this Christmas.


 

There are two angels 

without faces because 

they missed the last two 

Bible studies when I was 

taking photos and there are two 

more angels to make 

because two have been hospitalized 

for surgeries and still recovering.

 


Hopefully next Christmas 

I'll have them all there. 

I wanted to show this because 

it was a fun craft 

and something you could easily make.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Wouldn't it be wonderful 

to have a row of grandchildren 

angels or the children 

in your Sunday school class.



That's my post for today.

I hope it inspired at least one of you.

Merry Christmas

&

 God bless you all! 

You're blogging sister, 

Connie ♥️
