DIY Retro Felt Angels - Vintage Style Christmas Craft

Supplies & full tutorial: www.smilemerca...
I've been collecting some cool vintage trims, so I thought it would be fun to make some retro Christmas angels! These have cone bodies covered in felt, 20mm spun cotton heads, and lots of neat little miniature details.

Simply adorable!

It's amazing what you can create from just bits and pieces. They are retro-modern I think! Awesome!❤

Thank you for such a fantastic video. Love the music and speedy tutorial. I remember making these back in the 60s, and I love your modernized versions...and so much easier to make thanks to glue guns and your lovely little felt doll heads. Back then we had to paint wooden balls, and use horrid glues that quickly turned brown and cracked after a few years. I love your Mercantile.

Bravissima

[@jend7192]

How large was the cone you used? I see you don’t sell them anymore and I’m not sure what size to make my own.

[@SmileMercantile]

These cones were 4 inches tall, and 2 inches across at the base. ♥

These are adorable. I’m on your site to order the angel heads. What size do you use the 20mm or the 30mm? Thanks 😊

[@SmileMercantile]

Thank you! These are the 20mm heads. :)

[@blossomdolls9462]

How is the cone part done?
