To give you an idea, the actual size of the set up shown on the images is 110cm tall by 30cm wide / 43″ tall by 12″ wide. But the length will depend entirely on how you sew the items together. You can also print as many items as you desire. The angel is is 17 cm tall.

The above angels have been enhanced with little details.

Silver: print items on a light, grey card stock. Staple 2 layers of silver tissue paper, a bit larger than the wings, onto the wings. Then trim along wing outlines. Cut 2 rectangles, about 1 cm x 12.5 cm. Glue 1 each on the front and back, just below the arms. Tie a narrow ribbon around waste. Glue wings on back.

White: items were printed on light, white card stock. A small feather was glued on each wing. The dress was adorned with a silver pipe cleaner. Glue wings onto back.

Kraft: use a glue stick on all areas were you want to have glitter accents. Sprinkle the glitter onto the glue. Use paper to cover the area and press down. Attach wings.

The stars and angels were attached with tape to the sewing thread.
