I’ve made them in a rainbow of colours in plain construction paper but you can make them in any colour, print or specialty paper you like. Pop the ribbon through the holes at the top and there you have it! This stops it sliding out the top hole when you hang it on the tree. Tie a bead to the end of a piece of string. The washi tape idea seemed good at the time but clear magic tape would probably look better and you can stick it on the inside for a more seamless finish. Secure the angel together with a piece of tape. Once you get the hang of this it’s quite easy. This will leave you with the little round head popping up at the top and one quarter circle-shaped wing on each side. To create the angel shape you need to make a cone shape with the paper and slot the two slits on opposite sides of the template together. Here I have held it over the top of the paper I’ve used and cut them both out together. The best idea is to print the angel template out directly onto the paper you’re going to use but mine was too small to fit nicely in the printer. Ribbon or string and a bead for hanging.Construction paper (or any paper you like).Print them out, cut them out and fold them together, it’s really that easy (and quick!). That’s where these little paper angels will come in handy. This thing I bought is 2m tall, and we need to fill it with decorations. What did I not do? I did not look at the height of it in centimetres written clearly on the front of the box. So what did I do? I picked up the first tree I saw in the supermarket Christmas aisle and put it in the trolley. The kids adore the ugly little fibre optic one my husband bought a few years ago because we needed the smallest tree possible for our tiny inner city terrace house, but we have more space now and I like a pretty tree at Christmas. Just this week I was shopping in the supermarket and decided, completely on impulse, that we must have a new Christmas tree this year. This craft is also in our Christmas paper crafts ebook. Make some gorgeous mini paper angels this Christmas! You can either hang these angel ornaments on the tree or place them on the mantlepiece.
