I highly recommend you use the battery powered tea light candles for all your projects. They are safe and cheap. Did I say they are safe. Candles just cause too many fires to be used in simple craft projects like this.
This angel stands about 8 inches tall. She can be cut quickly so you can make a few at a time for gifts. There is only one interior cut so this project is perfect for even a novice scroller. The angel is cut from 1/2" thick wood and the candle try is 1/4" thick. For all you crafty painters out there she would look nice with an angelic face painted on.
