How to Make an Angel From Shoulder Pads

Make an angel from Shoulder pads. You can make an angel from shoulder pads that you cut out of dresses and jackets.
Most people I know never wear the shoulder pads. Now if you add an odd hoop earring and the cap from a water bottle, you have a cute little angel for Christmas or anytime. I've included some of my recycle ideas for crafts and stuff at the end of the article. check out those links: Recycle and Reuse!

Things You'll Need:
-shoulder pads
-1/4 inch satin ribbon --small amounts (mine was attached to the shoulder pads)
-bottle lid from water bottle
-spare gold hoop earring
-tacky glue
Snip the ribbon off of the shoulder pads. If you want to make an angel from shoulder pads that have been damaged when removed, you can usually hide that part when you do the assembly.

You need to glue your water bottle cap inside the first shoulder pad. Place it at the top of the curved edge and fold into the cap and glue. See Illustration 1. Recycle those lids.
Fold edges of shoulder pad in, tie at neck with a ribbon.

Using the other shoulder pad, pinch or gather it up in the middle, tie with a piece of ribbon to secure.

Illustration 4Glue this to the back of the angel.

Attach the hoop earring for a halo, and you have an angel! If you would like, you could attach a ribbon or other hook for hanging. You can recycle an earring after you lose the other one and make an angel!

RE: Uses for Shoulder Pads

You could use a smaller one as a pin cushion by folding it in half and sewing or gluing closed and then even sew a bit of elastic to it to use as a wrist pin cushion.

Fold in half, sew almost all the way closed, fill with cat nip and finish sewing closed as a cat toy ;-)

Use as cleaning sponges.

I know this sounds weird but depending on the shape and size you could cut and sew rubberized cloth, such as baby changing cloth, on one side or simply cut the rubberized cloth to fit and place on the crotch of your panties and then the pad on top of that to use when having a period or if you 'leak'. They would be easily washable and you can use over and over again while saving oodles of money on disposable pads!

Cut them into tiny and stuff them into pillows or teddy bears.

If you have lost weight or due to a mastectomy, the shoulder pads make excellent padding for filling up bras.
