Tips and variations for making this Angel Clothespin Ornament DIY:
● You can use either a clothespin or a doll pin on this craft. Doll Pins are different than clothespins in that they have a flat bottom. It should not matter for this project if you plan to hang your angels, but if you want them to stand up, you will need to use doll pins.
● Ivory was used to paint the body of this pin. You could use white, silver, gold, yellow, blue, etc.
● The halo is gold, but you could use silver instead.
● The ribbon is gold, but again to match your holiday decor you could use silver, blue, pink, etc.
● Very few crafts need to be made matching the exact steps listed in a tutorial. You can always change colors (at the very least!) to match your home decor.

Angel Clothespin Ornament Directions:
