Book Angel

Book Angel

I love these angels made from hymnals as well as other books.  I made one for my mom using a hardback book on gardening.  It became her “Garden Angel,” although I highly recommended not placing it in her garden.  Before we begin to fold the pages into the shape of our angel wings and dress we cruise through old bookshelves looking for a strong-backed book that will allow it to stand upright wherever the angel is set.  A wooden head, curly doll hair, wire halo, and a few embellishments to dress them up complete these precious angels.

These angels are quite simple and part of the enjoyment is making your own, but if crafting is not your forte, then I invite you to contact me at enola@enolastable.com on how you might obtain one of these book angels.

Blue Jeans Plant Holder

Blue Jean Planter

Blue Jeans from small tykes work best for this craft project.  The project as a whole is made completely from recycled products and scrap pieces of fabrics and ribbons.  The biggest challenge we’ve had is building them sturdier.  Most craft and commercial glues we’ve tried weaken over time and use.  These blue jean plant holders can accomodate 4″-6″ pots and make a huge impression with your country decor in your home and/or office.  They also are quite cute with artificial plants.  It’s been a while since we’ve produced these, but if you have interest in one, contact me at enola@enolastable.com and I’ll see what we can make happen.
