Paper Plate Angel Craft
Isn’t it exciting to make Christmas crafts with your little ones? I think old-fashioned Christmas crafts like the Candy Cane Felt Christmas Mouse, Popsicle Stick Nativity Ornament, and the paper plate angel are charming and timeless. It’s always heartwarming to see kids enjoy these classic crafts. If you want to add more fun to your Christmas crafting, why not grab some puffy paint and let your creativity run wild with some Christmas Puffy Paint Window Clings?

Here are the Supplies needed for this Angel Craft
- White paper plate – one with ruffles on the edges, This will be used to make the angel’s skirt and the wings for the angel
- Aluminum foil – Make two accordion folded-up strips – about 2 inches long and 1/4 in. wide
- Google eyes – I like the googly eyes with eyeshadow and eyelashes, but simple ones will do the trick
- Little pink dots (2) – you can use a hole puncher to punch out dots from pink paper or use small pink buttons for the rosy cheeks.
- White Paper for the face – I used thick paper like cardstock
- Doll hair – you can substitute yarn or raffia if you can’t find doll hair. You could use white yarn or yellow yarn for the angel’s hair
- Red or Pink 1/2 piece of chenille strip or pipe cleaner for the mouth
- Toothpick
- Optional: Ribbon for a bow
Equipment Needed
- Low-temperature glue gun – or – strong tacky glue (Fabri-Tac is a nice tacky glue that dries quickly)
- optional: Scotch tape
Instructions for this Angel Paper Plate Craft
- Cut the plate in half.
- With one half, make a cone shape and glue it. This will be the angel’s dress
- Cut the other half of your plate into two halves – this makes the wings for your angel.
- Cut a face out of white paper. I added a small extension for the neck. Let the kids decorate their angel’s faces with your supplies of Google Eyes, pink dots, pipe cleaner, and optional markers.
- Add hair to the face and glue it to secure.
- Glue a toothpick to the back of the head so it extends downward
- Assemble the angel by, inserting the toothpick into the top of the cone so the head rests on top. Glue it to secure it in place.
- Optional: Tie a bow made out of ribbon to the neck of the angel
- Attach the angel’s wings to the back of the cone
- Use one aluminum strip to make a halo for the angel by shaping it into a circle. Attach the other accordion folded strip to the halo and glue it to the back of the angel’s head
