Felt Angel Christmas Tree Topper: How to Make the Cutest One for Your Christmas Tree

So, today I wanted to try something new, and you know I'm a big fan of Christmas. I decided to make a felt angel Christmas tree topper. Yeah, I've seen those shiny stars and store-bought angels, but I thought, why not get my hands dirty and make one myself?

First things first, I gathered all my materials. I got some needle felting wool—it's so fluffy and nice to touch. Then, I picked up some wool felt in different colors, you know, to give my angel some personality. Oh, and I grabbed some basic sewing stuff like needles and thread, just in case.

I started with the needle felting wool. I rolled it up into a ball for the head and used a smaller piece for the body. It was kind of tricky at first, poking the wool with the needle to shape it, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. It's really satisfying to see the wool transform into something solid.

Once I had the head and body, I moved on to the fun part—decorating! I used the wool felt to cut out wings. I went for a classic angel wing shape, but you can get creative here. I also cut out a little halo from some gold felt I had lying around. I sewed these onto the body, and it started to look like an actual angel.

• Making the Face: This was the trickiest part. I used tiny bits of black and pink wool to make the eyes and mouth. It took some patience, but it was worth it.
• Adding Hair: I decided to give my angel some curly hair, so I used some yellow wool and twisted it around my finger before attaching it to the head. It looked so cute!
• The Dress: I chose a white piece of wool felt and cut it into a simple gown shape. I sewed it around the body and added some glittery bits to make it sparkle. I found some white acrylic paint from an old project and used it to add some glitter on the dress, made it more eye-catching.

The last step was to attach the angel to a base so it could sit on top of the tree. I found an old cardboard cone, covered it with some leftover felt, and glued the angel on top. It fit perfectly!

The whole process took me a few hours, but it was so much fun. And you know what? I think homemade decorations add so much more charm to the Christmas tree. Plus, it's a great way to spend a cozy afternoon. My angel might not be perfect, but it's made with love, and that's what counts. It added such a nice touch to the tree, and the whole family loved it. If you're thinking about making one, just go for it! It's easier than you think, and you'll have a unique tree topper that you can cherish for years.

I also found out that the tree top star and the angel are the most popular Christmas tree toppers, they symbolize the Star of Bethlehem and heavenly messengers. So it also feels like I learned something new from the project!

And here's a tip if you want to decorate your Christmas tree elegantly, start with a cohesive color scheme, use a variety of ornaments in different shapes and sizes, add some ribbon or garland, and mix different textures. I tried this out, and my tree looks amazing this year! I tried using paper doily to create an elegant design, just like I read online somewhere when I searched "easy diy angel tree topper."

Alright, that's it for my little DIY adventure. Hope you guys enjoyed it! Let me know if you try making one yourself. Merry Christmas, everyone!
