1 Cut off the top of the polystyrene egg.
2 Tear a small tuft of carded wool and felt it onto the polystyrene egg until it is covered using the felting needle.
3 Glue on a wooden head and cotton yarn or other thin yarn for the hair.
4 Gather the hair (in bunches) at the end and tie on bows.
5 Cut out the angel's hat from the template which is available as a separate PDF file on this page. Needle felt a flat piece from carded wool the roughly same size as the hat from the template. Place the template on top of the needle-felted carded wool and felt along the edge with the felting needle. Fold the loose carded felt over and felt it on.
6 Fold the hat and felt it together.
7 Sew rocaille seed beads onto the angel's body.
8 Glue two pieces of felt together using a glue gun. Cut out the wings from the template and place it on top of the felt. Cut out the wings from felt.
9 Sew rocaille seed beads onto the hat and the wings.
10 Glue the head and the wings onto the angel.
11 Sew a piece of cotton yarn for hanging through the hat.
