Weeping Angel Christmas Tree Topper!

My computer is still on the fritz, but I hope that the problem will be fixed this weekend! But I think my computer being down might be a good thing because I've been able to accomplish a lot: Christmas cards, presents, ornaments. But most importantly, at least for me, I've been able to finish my Weeping Angel Christmas Tree topper! The Weeping Angels are adversaries of The Doctor from Doctor Who and my favorite villains!

I saw an idea for this on Craftster (here) and decided to alter it a bit to use as a Christmas tree topper. To see the tutorial, read on! · A Barbie or generic fashion doll · 2 packages of Staedtler FIMO Air Basic Modeling Clay (For the wings, I used this clay, but would recommend using an oven bake clay instead. . · A plastic bottle (You want to make sure that the plastic bottle is either a Dasani or Coca Cola bottle or one shaped like it. . · Packing or masking tape · Modeling clay tools OR a seam ripper and small paint brush. Don't Blink! I was able to finish papering one of the wings earlier in the week, and demolded it.

Adding the foil to the inside made the job of seperating the paper from the form trivial. I tried to tape it together, but it was still too moist and the tape wouldn't hold. I'll let it dry out more before trying again.Some of the detail on the wing kinda got lost from the papering, but I figure I will re-emphasize the "feathers" with some paper-mache clay later on.Note: At this point, I should have put the shell back on the form to dry. Drying by itself encouraged warping which became a hassle later... Finally demolded the body form from earlier. First step after demolding was peeling off the foil.

Thanks to the wonders of internet tutorials, plus a trip to a craft store and a couple of hours of time… here’s a DIY Tom Baker / Doctor Who inspired cowl! Make it a little longer and add a twist to make an infinity scarf. This is more of an idea-inspiration post instead of a how-to, since I am the farthest thing from a crochet expert, and have no place writing a tutorial on it.

But I’ll tell you what I did. Do an image search for “Doctor Who Scarf”. This project is of course assuming you love the Tom Baker scarf and want a more manageable version for yourself. If you’re like me and have NEVER crocheted anything in your life, start watching a bunch of tutorial videos. I went with single crochet, since I like the look of it for this style of scarf.

While i still highly recommend that you make them yourself using my tutorial, this is a way to support the work, and for the crafting (and time) challenged to have their own weeping angel inspired piece! The link to my etsy listing is HERE! I cut a wing shape out of craft foam and added details with hot glue. i discovered that even jointed armed barbies' arms are not in a proper position to cover their eyes so i had to cut and reattach the arms at the elbow. more hot glue.... a high temp gun makes all the difference here. her arms aren't going anywhere. i also took the time to glue all of her joints so they are solid and attach her to a base- yes, with wooden skewers.
