Today I am going to share my repurposed light parts angel! I don’t remember exactly where these parts came from because they’ve been sitting in my junk pile for a while. But I do know that they came from one of the light fixtures that we replaced in the house. The crystal pull knob was from a dresser the neighbors were throwing out. And the rusty metal wings were from a set that I had cut out years ago and just never got around to using this one.

Repurposed Light Parts Angel
This was a really easy project except it took a few days to make because I wanted to be sure that the adhesive was thoroughly dry.
First, I added the holes to the rusty wings.
Then glued the angel’s body part to the base using the E-6000 adhesive. Letting this dry overnight..
The next morning I glued the pull knob on top for the angel’s head. Let that dry overnight as well.
The wings were added by running a piece of wire through the wings then holding them in place
and wrapping each end of the wire around the neck then around the back and back through the holes on the wings.
Using pliers to tighten the wings and the wire cutters to trim off any excess wire. Pushing the trimmed wire down on the ack of the Repurposed Light Parts Angel close to the body. Not to stick anyone when handled.
That’s it for this easy Repurposed Light Parts Angel. How do you like her? Have you upcycled any angels out of light fixtures?

Such an ingenious use of bits and bobs Linda. Your angel is so precious!!
Thank you Mary! They all fit together perfectly and spoke angel to me. 😉
Oh my goodness how adorable! What a neat way to use light parts!
Thank you Christina! They just seemed to work together to form the little angel!
She’s too cute Linda. I was wondering how you attached the wings so they would stay up and looking at the pictures you don’t even notice the wire. It’s the perfect color match to the light parts. What a great repurpose
Thank you Michelle! When I first started her I was worried about attaching the wings. But after digging around in my craft wire I ran across the gold and by just adding a couple of holes in the wings the wire worked perfectly.
Very creative thinking outside the box. I love it.
Thank you Claire! I was really happy how it all fit nicely together to make the cute little angel.
This is so gorgeous! Sweetest little angel.
Thank you Alexandra! I am pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for sharing your clever idea. I do have a question about the wings I don’t place what they were in their first life?
Hi MaryJane! The wings aren’t part of a light fixture. They are some rusty metal wings that I picked up at a flea market. I have seen people use old hinges for wings that look pretty cool! Thanks for stopping by!
