How to Craft Heavenly Okra Angel Ornaments for Seasonal Joy

Like ethereal beings descended from the garden’s dreams, these okra angel ornaments flutter with grace.

Each pod, painted and adorned with lace wings, carries a heart of love, its yarn hair swaying like a soft breeze, telling a tale of earth’s bounty transformed into celestial beauty for your festive haven.

Materials Needed

  • 6-9 dried okra pods (long and slightly curved)
  • Purple or metallic paint
  • Small wooden beads or cork pieces
  • Yarn in various colors
  • Lace or fabric scraps
  • Red felt hearts with “XOXO” or similar embroidery
  • Hot glue gun or eco-friendly craft glue
  • Gold twine or thread (6-8 inches per ornament)
  • Small paintbrushes and markers
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Pick out your dried okra pods, selecting ones with a gentle curve to shape the angel’s flowing form.

Then paint them purple or a metallic shade, letting them dry fully to set the stage for their heavenly look.

Step 2: Glue a wooden bead or cork to the top of each pod as the head.

You can ue a fine marker to draw a simple smiling face including small dots for eyes and a curved line for a smile to give your angel personality.

Step 3: Cut yarn into 4-6 inch strands and glue them around the head for hair, fluffing it out to create a wild, flowing mane in colors like red, blonde, or brown.

Step 4: Cut lace or fabric scraps into wing shapes, about 2-3 inches wide, and glue them to the back of the pod, angling them upward like delicate angel wings ready to soar.

Step 5: Attach a red felt heart with “XOXO” or a similar design to the front of the pod, securing it with glue as a symbol of love at the angel’s heart.

Step 6: Tie a loop of gold twine around the head or top for hanging.

Now you can hang your angels on a tree, wreath, or window, and let their gentle presence brighten your space like a soft holiday glow.

Tips:

I made a set for a friend’s holiday party, and mixing hair colors gave each angel a unique charm!

Use vintage lace for an extra touch of elegance, and if the pods are brittle, seal them with a light varnish first.
