Paper Angels
Materials:
1" diameter wooden ball or bead, Fleshtone acrylic paint, Paintbrush, 12" Chenille stem, 11" length of paper twist, 4" length of metallic foil paper twist, 3" length of mini star garland or lightweight gold wire, Spanish moss or excelsior, Spring clamp clothespin, Low temp glue gun and glue sticks or tacky glue
Instructions:- Paint ball of bead fleshtone and allow to dry. Open out both lengths of paper twist. Cut wing shape from the metallic paper twist.
- Fold the 11" length of paper twist in half, matching the short ends. With the fold at the bottom, fold each short top end out to form the collar. Lift the folded collar up and hand gather the paper twist just beneath the folds. Secure the gathers using a piece of chenille stem or wire, then fold the collar back down in front and back.
- Glue the wooden ball or bead to the top of the collar for the head. Glue bits of Spanish moss or excelsior to head for hair. Twist the piece of star garland or wire into a halo and glue on top of hair.
Gather the wings in the center and secure with chenille stem or wire. Glue wings onto the back of the angel, then glue the clothespin vertically with the mouth end down onto back of angel and wings. This allows the angel to be pinned onto a package ribbon, tree branch, garland or wreath.
