How-to: Flower Angel Decorations / Favors

Here's the pattern:

1 medium silk flower ( carnations look best, but you can also use roses)

1 25mm painted wood angel head

5" mini star garland

1 small angel wings

4" reg. chenille stem

( Misc.: shears, ruler, wire cutters, glue gun)


  • Head and halo: Coil 4" of star garland in a tight circle, and glue to top of head. Glue head to flower calyx (the flower will be upside down - remove stem only from flower)

  • Arms and Wings: bend a 4" piece of chenille stem in half to find center, open and glue center to back of head where it touches calyx. Shape arms and bend ends back for hands. Glue a small piece of star garland in one hand. Glue wings to bottom back of head.


  • I used purple and blue carnations, gold mini star garland, white chenille stems and iridescent wings. And they look beautiful. The craft shop that I was at carried the pre-painted angel head. I'm sure that Michaels should carry all the supplies.
