Instructions
Trace angel body and wings pattern onto 1/2 plywood. Trace heart onto
3/4 pine. Paint sides and fronts of each piece as follows:
Angel Face: Fleshtone ~ Angel Body: Prussian Blue ~ Wings: Parchment ~
Heart: Sonoma Wine
After paint dries, sand sides and front edges of all pieces heavily and
surface lightly. Blush cheeks by lightly dipping stencil brush into
sonoma wine paint. Brush most of the paint off the brush onto a paper
towel and rub stencil brush over cheek area. Add two small dots for eyes
with black paint. Place 1/2 block stencil on wings and stencil with
trail tan. When dry stencil two large stars on wings with raw sienna.
You can make your own large star stencil with the pattern provided and
blank stencil material by tracing star pattern on stencil material and
cutting on traced line with an exacto knife. Or you may purchase your
own. Speckle black paint on angel body and wings. Make sure you cover
the angel’s face to avoid speckling there.
ASSEMBLY: Attach sawtooth hanger to top center back of wings. Cut a
piece of 19 ga. wire about 6 inches long. Form a circle for the halo and
wrap end of wire from circle around itself to secure. Bend remaining
wire straight down and attach with a 3/4 staple and staple gun so the
end of the wire and staple will be hidden by the wings. Attach wood
heart with two 1 screws. Attach wings with two 3/4 screws or attach with
3/4 nails and brad nailer. Glue grapevine star to heart and let dry
completely.
