Craft Angels Garland From Upcycled Wallpaper

"I had some textured (Anaglypta) wallpaper scraps leftover from another craft project. Instead of throwing them away I decided to use them to make a fun Christmas decoration for my home. Using a template I made several pairs of angel wings from the scraps of wallpaper. The texture made them really interesting. To add a bit of glamour to the wings I gilded the tips with gold leaf and size. I then hung the wings from twine to create a gorgeous festive garland."
