Pineapple angel ornament
The Angel ornament would be perfect to stand on a table or shelf or add a ribbon hanger and hang it on the tree. It would also work as a tree topper for small trees or use #20 thread and small hook and it may work for a mini tree topper. The Ball ornament is a beautiful addition to any tree.

This pattern is rated intermediate or advanced beginner
