14 From two different fabrics cut a rectangle 8in × 4in (20.3cm × 10.2cm). Fold each rectangle in half right sides together so that they measure 4in (10.2cm) square.

15 Trace two star shapes on to freezer paper and cut them out. Iron each star in the middle of the 4in (10.2cm) square. Cut two pieces of ribbon 7in (17.8cm) and 10in (25.4cm) long. Fold in half and place between the two layers, with the ribbon ends poking out slightly above the raw edge of the top of the star.

16 Pin and machine sew right up to the freezer paper, leaving a gap in order to turn inside out. Stuff with toy stuffing and sew up the gap.

17 For each star cut out a felt heart and sew to the middle of the star with the button. Secure the ribbons to the angel’s hand. Embroider the mouth with two strands of red embroidery thread and backstitch. Work the eyes in tiny satin stitches in blue in a circular shape, with a black French knot in the centre, or use little buttons for eyes.
