How to make the Christmas Angel decoration
- Print the Christmas Angel template on card stock paper. Cut out the pattern of the Angel.
- Draw circles, hearts or any other design you like on the angel body to place the cotton. Feel free to make other colorful designs on your angel. The diagram below shows you just one way of decorating this craft. Feel free to vary the patterns on the dresses and even on the wings, and using cotton gives an impression of softness.
- Glue your small cotton balls or pom poms inside each circle or shape drawn on the body of the angel. (See diagram below)
- Now it is time to glue the wings. Fold the ends of the wings at the dotted line and glue symmetrically to the Angels dress. (See picture below)
- Let the wings dry. Then staple the two ends of the Angels dress together. This makes the base of your Angel. (See diagram below)
- Cut a long piece of modeling wire and at one end of the wire place the small styrofoam ball. Use the other part of the wire to form the neck and halo. (see diagram below)
- Feed the wire down through the hole at the top of the Angel body base and staple. This will complete your beautiful Angel decoration.
An Angel so delightful and sweet to have decorating your home. Enjoy!
