How to Make Paper Angels
Paper Angel Craft Supplies:
- Paper Cone Angel Template
- Cardstock - in your chosen colours
- Silver shiny pipe cleaners
- Blue marker
- Clear tape
- Glue dots
- Scissors
Paper Angel Craft Instructions:
STEP 1: Gather paper angel craft supplies
Begin by taking the free printable angel template below and printing it out. Then, cut out the shapes on the template and choose which colour cardstock you would like to use for your angel craft.
STEP 2: Trace paper angel template
Using a pencil, trace the pieces from the angel template on the cardstock you've chosen to work with.
STEP 3: Make paper angel shape
Take the large cutout shape and wrap it around itself, forming a cone shape. Secure this with tape. This will create the angels body.
STEP 4: Add angel wings
Next, using tape, attach the angels wings along the cone seam.
Now it's just a matter of adding the details to make these otherworldly angels come to life! Take a marker and draw an open mouth and add some lines to represent eyes.
STEP 5: Make a halo
Cut the pipe cleaner in half and wrap one half into a circle shape. Use the second half of the pipe cleaner to secure the circle shape and then tape it to the back of the angels head. This will create the angels halo. (see images below)
Your paper angels are now ready to go! Why not go one step further and decorate your paper angels using markers or by adding sequins and glitter.
