Christmas decorations -- Making a dangerous ornament safe





I bought something second-hand at an online auction last winter and only some months later, when I was breaking down boxes for recycling, did I discover that the seller had included a couple of freebies in the package. What cute little Christmas angels, I first thought. My second thought was, that those sharp metal upturned arms and wings could poke an eye out!!! Ah, now I understand the freebie as the first owner probably had the same thoughts after purchase and wanted those out of their house and away from their own kids!

So, here is what I did with them, I took the outer parts of ribbon rolls and with a piece of reddish colored mesh, glued them together to form a stiff sturdy base. Then, I Mod Podged both sides for added thickness. Once dried, I glued each ornament onto  the base. 

Behold a red glow through the center when the light shines and the arms and wings are no longer lethal weapons!
