#50 Tradition Angel for Christmas Tree
Created in 1972 by Clarice Gabel
Placing the angel on the top of the Christmas tree is a tradition in our house. Angel is placed on top, after the tree is decorated!
When we married, my mother-in-law created the angel for our First Christmas. It is crocheted. I believe she stiffened it with sugar and water but I am not sure. And she can’t remember what she did.
So for 47 years, after the tree is decorated, the angel is put on the top. The honor of placing the angel on top was often given to our children.
After Christmas it is returned to the original box that she gave it in.
If anyone knows how to stiffen crocheted items, please let me know!
Your angel is beautiful. My mother uses Stiffy Fabric Stiffener to stiffen her crocheted snowflake ornaments. It works great. You can buy it at craft stores.
