Small Angel Tree Topper Design Process

Years ago, I received an invitation from the White House to design a Christmas Ornament for their Blue Room Christmas Tree. So, I first created this angel as a traditional ornament to be hung on the Christmas Tree. Years later, I made a similar guardian angel for my son’s Baptism to give to our guests as mementos. When I decided to add tree toppers to my holiday decorations, I remembered these previous angels I had designed years ago. These angels became my inspiration for this small angel Christmas Tree topper. Also, I incorporated some of the details from the Nativity collection Angels.

This tree topper is the perfect size for a table-top or medium size Christmas Tree. I used old wooden clothespins for their main body and head. To begin with, I gave the angels a big halo decorated with plastic gemstones, making the angel’s halo glimmer with the tree lights. Second, I made the angel wings from wide ribbons. Next, to represent rays of light, I added thin ribbons and plastic shiny beads flowing from the waist. Finally, I decorated the dress at the waist with a bouquet of flowers and shiny streams of beads and stiffened the angel’s skirt so the angel tree topper could sit on top of the Christmas Tree without falling.
