How to make
Christmas Angels
1. Cut two sides off your paper plate to leave a triangle in the middle. The sides will become the angel’s wings and the middle will become the angel’s body. Use the picture above as a guide.
2. Lay your paper plate pieces out so you can check the orientation of your wings.
We’ve made our Christmas angels with the flat edge of the wing upwards but you could have the arch edge upwards if you prefer.
Use your hole puncher to make a hole in one end of each wing where it will attach to the body. Make a hole in the middle of the angel’s body about an inch from the top of the triangle.
3. Attach the wings behind the body with a split pin / paper fastener.
4. Using skin coloured paper cut a circle for the angel’s face and two rectangles for the angel’s arms. Round off one end of each arm to make hands.
5. Use Sharpie marker pens to draw a face for your angel craft. We made ours with shut eyes and smiles or singing mouth.
6. Glue the head on to the top of your angel’s body. This will hide the head of the split pin.
Glue the arms on to the back of the angel, loop them round to the front and glue the hands down.
7. To make your angel’s hair wrap your chosen yarn around something multiple times. We used a plastic pot but a small book would work just as well. When you have hair as thick as you would like it, gather the strands together and tie a short piece of yarn around them tightly.
8. Slide the loop of yarn off your pot or book. Keeping the tied section at the top cut through all the strands opposite it.
9. Decorate your angel by gluing on some glitter or any other embellishment you like. We added glitter along the bottom of the dress and to the curved edge of each wing.
10. Twist your glitter pipe cleaner to make a halo loop. Cut off the excess stem leaving about two inches.
11. Complete your paper plate angle craft by gluing on the hair to the top of the head and the halo on to the back of the head. Source: Internet
