angel tree topper - cardboard inner cone with fabric outer, lace trim, pipe cleaner wings I used and I forget what the hair was made of.
I had a homemade angel the kids and I did, since we are homeschoolers many things qualify as art! However we use a small prelit tree since our housefire and hoping that when we get into the house we find the Christmas stuff survived!

angle tree topper - angle tree topper
We have an angle that we always put up. Have had it for several years now. Also put ornaments that the kids have made at school over the years.

My mum always had a china angel with a wand and when I left home she gave me a fat plastic cherub with a pink mini dress so I always tie her on the top with a fairy light to make her sparkly, they both belonged to my Momma (Grandma). We used to replace the Angels dress every 2 years with new crepe paper and net. Dad doesn't decorate for christmas now without mum because his new girlfriend has cats, so the Angel stays in the roof which is sad.

Tree Topper - There are many kinds of tree toppers for your Christmas tree...stars, angels, finials (stacked bulbs), etc. This is a beautiful angel tree topper.
I've got several tree toppers, and I use a different one each year. I have stars, angels, and some finials (stacked bulbs). When I see a new one that I like, I buy it and add it to the others. I think one of my favorites is a clear glass star that we've had for many years. I'm using it again this year, I think.

My family has always used an angel. We have one that's been in the family for several decades, my older sister has it because she has the biggest family Christmas celebration these days.

treepoint - treepoint
I have a pointy silver thing very similar to this picture but a simpler shape and plain silver/chrome finish. We had a few different ones, stars / fairies etc but they were all a real pain to sit straight on the top of the tree and would be lopsided all the time!

We use a 5 point star made from wood painted gold and silver with lights. But that is also because we celebrate the Yule. And it is the star that fits best in out religion.

I have a home made angel that my daughter and sister made for the tree when i was bringing my son home from the hospital. She cut some of her Barbie dolls hair,took a styrofoam ball, some old material and glues it to a plastic cup. It really means alot because she wanted her baby brother to come home and have an angel on the christmas tree and of course she made it with love. So for the last 12 years that is our special angel tree topper.

I have always used the star growing up and have continued using a star on my own tree with my kids. My husband wants to use an Angel though, so I guess next year the star wont come out.
