Handmade Glass Angel Repurposed Restyled Home Decor

 

Handmade Glass Angel Repurposed Restyled Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome everyone!

I thought I would share a little bit with you my order I am preparing for 3 glass angels ordered. I had sold one which caught the interest for a customer to inquire if I had more. It’s been a little hectic with moving, not feeling well with a head cold, and then finding some of my crafting inventory to use.

Below you will see pictures of some of the supplies I will be using to create these glass angels. For the base I use light fixture covers from like ceiling fans. When I started I would use a light bulb for the angel head, and since that time have changed to using glass ornaments for the head. I make the wings from wired ribbon. I use pipe cleaners for the halos, and then any embellishments used to add a little more character around the neckline. Maybe another thin ribbon, a yarn, buttons, little mini bows, jeweled pieces found, and so on. 

The customer has shared with me how purple is liked, and so I will be making purple wings with a purple halo for the angels. I love purple myself so this is just a little bit more fun for me to do. I love the glass bases I found for the angel bodies. Just a slight different from what I normally find to use. I put them through the dishwasher to thoroughly clean for the creation process. As always I am anxious to see the completed products. When I have them done I will make sure to share pictures here for you to see. 

Thanks so much for visiting, and sharing some time with LilacsNDreams! Take care, be safe, and see you again soon. Toodles . . . . . . . .

Glass Angel Repurposed Restyled Handmade DIY Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome Everyone who visits today!

I’m pretty sure I have repeated sharing the Glass Angel made by LilacsNDreams, and the sale of it happening too. Well, I am happy to say with me sharing this I have had someone ask me if I had anymore like this one in the green that I sold. Unfortunately, not completely like that one…just the other 2 pictured with it were still available. I explained us moving, and so on. 

Needless to say moving has not been completed fully yet. One advantage is we are not closing on home we were in, still making payments, and are considering selling it once everything is fully out of there. We of course will go through to clean, and vacuum the place thoroughly too. With the new home I had 2 places designated for my crafting supplies, and unfortunately that is not working out. So, I have to consider another alternative which is becoming harder for certain reasons. 

 

Couch, loveseat, and 2 chairs have been delivered to the new house. Air ducts have been thoroughly cleaned, and turns out it was badly needed too. Couple holes were found that got filled, and a valve was turned off which is now back on. The airflow is much better than before. 

Our son had gotten a bad head cold while moving, and did good getting over it too. Today we picked up our new TV. Got it home, and we found a fault with it. The drive is about 1 1/2 hours for us one way. Son decided lets do it, and we took the TV back to Best Buy. We got lucky! They had another one in stock that we could bring home. It’s on its stand for now, is much bigger, and an investment that was well made. In about 1 1/2 weeks our last item should be delivered which is our new counter height table, and chairs. All of this is great so far.

Then…I got sick with head cold. Hubby came home for weekend to help get appliances here, and washer and dryer too. Things are coming along in between everyone’s work schedule. I still have the ending results of the head cold, cough, congestion, etc. 

Upon checking my emails I have a notice from the person who inquired about the glass angel I had sold. She’d really like to have 1 for her, and 1 for her sister, they like purple, and make it 3 they would like to have done. Again, there is no rush on this order. So, now I need to find my ribbon, embellishments, and etc I use for these to be made. Locate the glass bodies, and if I don’t have anymore I’ll have to go in search for more. 

Needless to say I haven’t applied myself fully like I should with crafting, and selling online. I’ve been fighting with forces that think it’s a waste of time, and money that I do this. I haven’t had the support for me doing this which is disheartening, and lonely at times too. So, when I sold the angel I was happy. I was even happier with the event leading up to the request for 3 glass angels to be made too.

So, that is how my week has been for me. I hope everyone is having good things happen for you, accomplishing things you desire to do, and things have been great for many of you. I appreciate you visiting with LilacsNDreams today. Stop on by anytime. Take care everyone, and be safe! Toodles . . . . .

Glass Angel Repurposed Upcycled Restyled Recreated Handmade DIY Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome to all, and happy to see you dropping by.

Below you see a picture of some Glass Angels that I repurposed upcycled restyled handmade DIY home decor I recreated. The angel in the green SOLD yesterday with my shop at Etsy. I’ve also had an inquiry if I will be making more of the angels too. I’m happy I sold one, and pleased a question was asked about more being made too. Unfortunately we are moving now into another house bought. I have a designated area for my crafting right now, and believe me I am anxious to be crafting again. Just the timing of everything, right? I have a new counter height table ordered, and cannot wait for that delivery to give me more of a working area too. I’m thankful for this sale, and am hoping soon I can be doing things again. 

Do you have something you prefer to craft more than other things you’ve created? There is so much out there to be seen, so many ideas, and many inspirations for crafting too. I have supplies that have accumulated for things I want to do. Us moving, and me getting organized cannot happen fast enough for me right now. So, until then I will keep posting here the best I can, and try to keep everyone updated. 

We took 2 loads to the house today. Pretty much the storage upstairs here is cleared out. It mostly consisted of christmas, Halloween, and tubs of pictures I am hoping to scrapbook with. Plans, many ideas, and can’t get to it fast enough.

I am happy to have you visiting with me today, and hope to see you again soon. Till then take care, have fun with all you do, and be safe everyone. Thank You for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Toodles . . . . .

Glass Angel Home Decor Handmade Repurposed Restyled Upcycled at Etsy with LilacsNDreams

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Whew! Whatever is going around again I caught it. Had me held up for about a week. Finally shaking it, and Thursday was the first I had been out for a while. Been trying to  list more items at my Shoppe with Etsy too. 

Above you will see pictures of 3 different Glass Angels that I have made, and are listed with my Shoppe at Etsy. Stop by sometime to see all the pictures showing different angles of these adorable pieces made for home decor. I also showed some pictures giving a few ideas of maybe how you could use, or display these unique pieces. These would be great for Christmas, Easter, Weddings, Anniversaries, Special Occasions, etc. Great pieces to treat yourself with, or unique gifts given to someone special too. 

I used glass ceiling fan light covers for the angel bodies. I chose to use glass ornaments for the angel heads. For the wings I used wired ribbon, and then around the neck of one I used a thin dark green ribbon, and put a silver tone button in the center. For the other two I used pearlized beads of pink on one, and purple on the other one. These two got a pink florescent button in the center that blends with their necklines. The halos were made from pipe cleaners to blend with their accessories they have. 

I really enjoyed making these, and have an idea for making another one that will be just a little bit different. She’ll have her own character. I’ve had to wait for paint to dry because I didn’t have the colored ornament in the size I wanted. So, I compromised and painted an ornament that was the size I needed. Hopefully I can have it done this week to share with you. I also have some more treasures sitting out, lined up, and waiting on me to start gluing them also. It can be overwhelming, and I’m trying not to do too much at once. But, I am excited to be doing this! I enjoy this time of year with all the creativity, and some of the precious vintage collectibles that I find too. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! I enjoy your visits, and your comments that I receive too. Thank You again! Stop on by here anytime. Glad to have you. Take care till the next time.   Toodles. . . . . . .
