Gold Boxes
Basement Treasure
Whilst picking up a small lot of printer’s equipment I purchased, i grabbed this box after a quick look inside. I saw some adjustmet screws, and assumed it was a little box of press parts. When i get a better look at it it was a box of mish-mash tins, full of bits and bobs. A wonderfully worthless collection!

Raise lace up and tie ribbon just below the potpourri to form a ball at center of lace which is the angel’s head. The tied ribbon is her neck and the remaining lace is her gown. Continue with ribbon by tying a double bow at back to create the angel’s wings. Shape the remaining ribbon to fall to the sides of the angel’s lace gown for a beautiful accent.
Cut a 3″ piece of pipe cleaner and form into circle. This is the Angel’s halo. With glue gun, glue the halo to the angel’s head. With fabric pen, personalize the ribbon tails. Examples: Merry Christmas Mom (Sister, Best Friend, Aunt, etc.), Angels are watching over you, etc.
