Angels are a special keepsake and represent strength, love & peace. I made this fabric angel for a precious angels Mother.
This keepsake Angel turned out so beautiful I have put together a basic tutorial for you to make your own for yourself or a gift.
TUTORIAL DETAILS
Sewing skills - Medium levelApprox cost - $4
Approx time - 30 mins for a beginner
SUPPLIES TO MAKE A KEEPSAKE NAME ANGEL
- Soft Fabric
- Sequins or beads
- Sewing Machine
- Stuffing
I used a soft fur fabric with a tiny stretch in it which worked well
HOW TO MAKE A KEEPSAKE NAME ANGEL
- Print & cut out your pattern
- Pin pattern to fabric and cut out leaving a hem
- Sew around the edge in a straight stitch leaving a hole under the wing on the side. Make sure the outside fabric is facing in
- Pull the angel the correct way out through the hole
- Stuff the Angel with filling making sure it is not too fat
- Hand-stitch the side seam up
- Highlight your wings by sewing the lines with a sewing machine. Large stitch length
- Decorate with your sequins or beads
This project is a little fiddly but definitely not a hand sewing project.
I have also made this design using beading for the name and halo. The end result is different which shows you that you can customise however you choose. These were for a wedding party to carry with them on the day in memory of a loved one.
I have uploaded a free DIY pattern for you below to make your own, you could print at whichever size you would like your keepsake name angel to be. I made this one approx 20cm in length.
This would make a beautiful precious gift for someone who has lost a loved one. You can add some ribbon so it can hang as a feature for a special decoration or make it large for a pillow.
Happy Crafting
