5. Take the red chenille stick and cut a 4 inch piece and add a bit of glue to the center of the back and attach to the angel head. Fold in at the ends a bit to form her hands. Glue in a small flower so it looks like she is holding it.

 
6. Hang her on your tree or make several more for a table decoration.
    

Tip: Pine cones that do not like to stand up can be fixed by removing a few pieces of the pine cone off the bottom.
