Step 1: Lay the piece of tulle or fabric on a flat surface. Putthe 2 cups of potpourri in the center of the square. (If youhave a fragrance sensitivity, you can use fabric and fiberfill forthis step.) Draw up the tulle or fabric on all sides, forming apotpourri “ball”. Tie or sew the tulle securely at the top of the“ball”. Trim the tulle or fabric close to the tie at the top of theball. (If you’re making this in thread, use a 8” piece of tulleand 1/3 cup of potpourri.)Step 2: Insert the potpourri ball in the dress/body piece. Pullthe ribbon ends evenly to close the piece around the top of potpourriball. (Like a drawstring.) Tie the ribbon in a knot, thenin a bow and trim ends. Crushing the potpourri as necessary,flatten the bottom of the ball to fit the bottom of the piece , sothat the piece stands without wobbling. Continue crushingand shaping the piece into a sort of pineapple shape, with thefattest part at the bottom, and the narrowest part at the bow.Pull round 17 of the dress up and out to form a ruffled collar.Step 4: Place an end of the arm/hand piece on either side ofthe head (under the collar) centering the ch 3 under the bow.Hot glue or sew the ends of the arms to the dress.Step 5: Hot glue or sew the “ring” in the center of the wingsunder the back of the collar, directly opposite the bow.Step 6: Hot glue or sew the crocheted part of the dress ruffleto the bottom of the dress to form a ruffle. (This should bedone when the angel is standing on a flat surface...the ruffleshould just extend to the flat surface.) The beginning and endof the ruffle should meet in the back, directly under the centerof the wings. Tie a bow in the ruffle ribbon.Step 7: Hot glue the joining of the halo to the back of thehead. Hot glue a ribbon rose, charm, or cute button to the“hands”(the sl st’s in the center of the arms.)Pattern Note: The bow marks the front of the piece.Step 3: Put a large amount of hot glue inside the collar. Lineup the face of the ball head (if yours has a face) with the bowand attach the head with the glue. Glue on hair.Happy <strong>Crochet</strong>ing!Note: If you’re making this in thread, you might want to inserta loop of ribbon or fishing line through the bead beforeglueing, so you can hang the finished project.20
