Free Quilled Angel Pattern

Oh my, are you ready for this? A free quilling pattern!!! Yeah!!!

I know, there has been a real dry spell hasn't there? Well, this pattern is one of my favorites.  I love making Angels and this little sweetie is really special.  I hope you enjoy giving her a twirl.

This angel is made using the Spreuer technique (some people refer to the tool as an Onion Holder)
Follow this link to my previous instructions on the Spreuer Technique. 

I call her My Silvery Angel

Head

• 2 strips of paper, grape roll (this is a shaped tight roll)
• Shape the tight roll by gently pushing center up
• Don't forget her Halo - no self respecting Angel would be found without one :-)
• The halo is just a scrap - I wrapped it around my thumb to get the shape and then glued it to the back of her head to keep it in place
• I also created a tight roll with an open center and glued it to her head, this is where you will attach the hanger

Wings (Make 2 of these, refer to photo with numbers)

• Start at 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 5 - 4 - 3
• Yes this is not a typo, I skipped 6
• I found that it makes a more realistic wing that way (at least to me)

Body (Only make 1 of these)

• The body is a little longer than the wing to give it proportion
• This is another one of my non-traditional Angel bodies
• Her dress is all the same length
• Start at 11 in the center
• Go 11 - 11L - 11R - 11L - 11R

Note that this is a little tricky to get that triangle shape for her dress.  As you wrap your quilling paper around you will need to play with the dress a bit to make sure that the strips don't overlap too much.

The rest is all the fun stuff that adds a bit of bling and personality to the project

Her hands are holding a little red spiral rose (I know hard to tell with the picture because I put a drop of crystal effects in the center and took the picture before it had dried clear)
Her hands are two 8 in Shaped Teardrops

For the spiral rose check out this tutorial that I created a while back.


For the necklace, a scrap strip of Green (maybe about 4 inches) made in the Spiral shape and then wrapped around her neck (this covers the seam where the head and dress attach and also adds a bit more strength to this area)

I used the crystal effects to lightly paint the angel and lightly glittered her

This ornament was attached to a beautiful red card (can't take credit for it, it was in a $1 pack at Michaels)

I hope you like her.
