St. Cecilia Costume and Homemade Harp

St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians.  It’s said that as she lay dying, after her captors tried three times to behead her, she sang to herself until Jesus brought her home to heaven. Read more here.

Our St. Cecilia is dressed in a simple pink dress and has a lace veil on her head.

I made her harp from large electrical wire (romex) and duct tape.

My hubby spray painted it with gold spray paint, but I think gold duct tape over top the regular duct tape would be better. After it was dry I added some strings.

This would be a great prop for an angel costume or a David costume, too!

St. Cecilia, pray for us!~Jen-Marie
