Materials you’ll need:
- A foam ball
- Blue and silver glitter paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- A wooden craft stick
- Blue ribbon
- A hot glue gun (optional)
Step 1: Preparing the foam ball
Take the foam ball and carefully cut off a small portion from the bottom to create a flat surface. This will allow your angel to stand securely once completed.
Step 2: Creating the angel’s body
Cut a piece of blue glitter paper in a rectangular shape. Fold it accordion-style to create a fan-like shape. Once folded, join the ends together to form a circle and secure with glue. This will be the angel’s dress or body.
Step 3: Crafting the wings
Using the silver glitter paper, draw and cut out a pair of angel wings. You can follow a template or create your own unique design. Make sure the wings are large enough to complement the angel’s body. Once cut out, attach them to the back of the foam ball using glue.
Step 4: Adding the finishing touches
Take the wooden craft stick and securely attach it vertically to the flat surface of the foam ball using glue or a hot glue gun. This will serve as the angel’s stand or support.
Slightly curl the blue ribbon to form a loop, then attach it to the back of the angel with glue. This will create a hanger for your angel decoration.
Step 5: Displaying your blue angel
Once the glue is dry and everything is securely attached, your blue angel is ready to be displayed. Hang it on your Christmas tree, place it on a mantel, or use it as a centerpiece for a festive table setting. Get creative and enjoy the magical ambiance this handmade decoration brings!
Now that you have the steps and materials to make your very own blue angel, it’s time to unleash your artistic flair. Gather the supplies, set aside some dedicated crafting time, and let your creativity soar!
