- Box top
- ¾ yards of three inch wide iridescent wire edge ribbon
- Hot glue gun or tacky glue

How to make it-
- To make a light bulb stand, take the box top and make a hole in it, large enough to place the screw head of light bulb in it.
- Paint your bulb with the acrylic white paint or with spray paint. Let it dry ad then paint the screw head of the light bulb with the same paint. Leave it to dry as well.
- Take the wooden ball having holes in it. If holes are not all through it then you can make them by drilling with a small bit. Then paint the ball with the flesh tone acrylic paint and leave it to dry.
- To draw the features, use permanent fine black marker and make eyes and nose. For the mouth and cheeks use blush powder and dab three small dots. Make the outline of the mouth in oval shape with the help of black marker.
- To protect the blush, just spray small amount of clear gloss.
- Take the lace and weave the gold wire edge ribbon through the holes in the pre-gathered lace. Gather the ribbon in.
- To make the wings, take three inch ribbon and make a bow with two loops such that the above two loops slightly bigger than the lower ones. Leave about 4 inch tail and tie the bow from the center tightly.
- Now to create the hanger, take the 1/8 gold wire edge ribbon nd make a loop of it by folding a 10 inch length into half. Now make a knot about 4 inch below the folded point and dab it with glue. Poke the ribbon from the loop end through the hole in the head and pull it outside. Ensure that the knot will not come outside the hole.
- Now all your material is ready just need to assemble it. Take the dress of the angel and tie a knot with weaved ribbon at the top of the screw head leaving 1/3 part of it from top. Hot glue the knot. The side where the knot is made is the back of the angel.
- Hot glue the base of the head and place it over the top of the screw head and let it stick.
- Now hot glue the wings at the back of the angel at the knot of the woven ribbon. Hold it tightly till it dry. Cut the tails ends in V shape.
- Glue the curly hairs on the head by preventing the hanger to get stick.
- Spray some clear gloss on the angel’s dress and quickly sprinkle some sparkle or glitter on it. Let it dry for sometime. Your light bulb angel ornament is ready.
