Make a pretty Christmas angel

A homemade decoration to decorate the tree. Nothing like it! All you need is a few materials and a little skill. Make as many angels as you like and hang them up straight away.

Materials needed for 1 angel:

– 1 white or silver pipe cleaner

– 1 egg box

– some white feathers

– 2 coloured beads

– 1 white or coloured button

– 1 pretty white ribbon

– 1 wooden bead with a hole

– 1 piece of wool

You will also need fine markers and a knife, pencil or something to use to poke a hole in the egg box.

How to do it:

1. Start by drawing a face and hair on the wooden bead.
2. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and thread it through the wooden bead, with the folded end facing the top of the face to make the angel’s halo.
3. Then thread both ends of the pipe cleaner through the button.
4. Tie a piece of ribbon around the pipe cleaner under the button.
5. Cut a hole in the egg carton and punch 2 holes through which you will pass the 2 pipe cleaner branches.
6. Punch a few holes in the back to insert and glue the feathers that represent the angel’s wings.
7. Thread a bead on each end of the pipe cleaner and bend to make the feet. Cut the pipe cleaners to an appropriate length.
8. Finish by tying a piece of wool between the head and the angel’s halo so that you can hang it on the tree.
