Angels made from straw for hanging

1   Let the straws soak in water for approx. 4 hours.

2   Gather straws in two bundles of ten and tie them together with a piece of thread in the middle.

3   Bend one bundle of straws in the middle over a finger as shown in the photo.

4   Tighten the thread and tie a double knot. Tie the two ends of the thread together with a knot to make a loop for hanging.

5   Place the other bundle of straws for the wings between the doubled-over bundle of straws.

6   Tie thread around the join in a square with a cross as shown in the photo.

7   Trim the straws into an arch shape at the bottom. Trim the wings at an angle with the shortest straw at the bottom.

8   Cut a small piece of pipe cleaner for the halo. Glue it together and thread it onto the doubled-over piece of thread (the loop) for hanging.
