Here's how it works:
Start by painting the terracotta pots with VBS Hobby Color in Gold. Apply several layers of paint to achieve a higher colour brilliance and let the paint dry well on the terracotta pots.
Then paint the enclosed Wooden balls with pens or Handicraft paint with faces and let them dry as well.
Cut two strands of each angel from the Cord about 1.5 m long, knot them and twist the strands together . Lay the strands twice and knot them together to form a smaller thicker Cord . The knot must be pulled tight.
Now make another knot after about 20 cm below the knot so that it does not fit through the opening of the clay pot. Thread the clay pot body and the head from above. To get the knot through the wooden head, you can use a shish kebab skewer. Then tie another knot above the head to prevent it from slipping. The Cord above the head serves you as a hanging cord.
To make the leg, thread a wooden bead underneath the clay pot and fix it behind the wooden bead with a double knot at the height you want to have the leg. Place another single knot just behind the double knot, so that the Cord does not fall apart when you cut it afterwards. Cut the Cord between the two nodes
For the second leg, knot the cut-off Cord to the node inside the clay pot. Afterwards, put on a wooden bead again to create the second leg. After you have made a double knot according to the desired leg length, set another knot again. Between the two knots cut the Cord.
The rest of the Cord results in the two arms: Put two wooden beads on this piece and make a knot at the end of each. Now knot the Cord above the clay pot, between head and body, so that two arms are created.
Finally you can decorate the angel. Glue on the Feathers as wings and the flower-hair as hair using hot glue
