    Years ago my cousin bought a very pretty standing angel - since I like to craft I had to check it out. It was made using a tomato cage, the large ring on the bottom, and the spikes were taped together and a styrofoam ball inserted onto them for the head. Decorate to your hearts content!

    If I can figure out where I put it , I think I have the pattern for the angel. I'll see if I can find it and let you know. It will take me awhile because I take care of my 85 yo mom that is bedridden. But will do my best to find it for you.

    I have made quite a few of the trees with coat hangers. Everyone loved them.
