Angel Worry Dolls Guatemalan children tell their worries to dolls and
place them under their pillows. According to legend, the dolls take their worries away.
Cut the heads off two kitchen matches with a craft knife. Use a glue
gun to attach one to each side of the clothespin for arms. Use a tiny bit of glue to
attach the end of white floss to the back "neck" of the doll. Wrap floss snugly
around the neck and down over the top of the match sticks for shoulders. Continue wrapping
under the matchsticks and down to the "ankles". Trim floss and secure with a
tiny bit of glue to the back of the doll. Wrap both arms in white floss from the shoulders
to the "wrists" in the same manner.
Wrap gold cord around waist. Secure with a dab of glue at the back
of the doll. Paint a set of woodsie wings gold. Let dry and glue to the back of the angel.
Choose a hair color. Cut a 12" piece of floss and dip it
completely into tacky glue wiping off the excess by running it through your fingers.
Arrange the floss in small circles on the head of the doll to look like curly hair. A
toothpick will make positioning the hair easier. Use a marker to dab on eyes.
