Angels come in all shapes and colors. Start with this one and create your own special angel to hang on the tree.

Large frozen juice lid

Fabric scraps

Fusible web

Styrofoam meat trays

Popsicle sticks

Air drying clay

Large wool needle

Ribbon

Markers

Scissors

White Glue

Take a large frozen juice lid and cover it with fusible web and fabric. Iron until fabric adheres. You might want to substitue paint for the younger crafters. Draw arms and hands. Color hands with markers.

Cut a heart for the wings and a round cicle for the head from a clean styrofoam meat tray. Paint the heart (wings) and glue to the back of the body. Paint the face and draw hair and features with a marker and glue overlapping the front of the body.

Cut popsicle stick in half (wire cutters work well) for legs and paint to match face and hands. Glue to the back of the body.

Note: When using hot irons or sharp tools Adult supervision and assistance is suggested. 

Roll out air drying clay or Play doh and cut out tiny stars with small shape cutters or free hand. Glue to feet

Use large needle threaded with ribbon to make hanger for your Christmas angel.
