White paper plate one with ruffles on the edges
Aluminum foil Make two accordion folded-up strips - about 2 inches long by 1/4 in. wide
2 Google eyes
2 Little pink dots 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
½ inch pipe cleaner for the mouth pink or red
Low-temperature glue gun Or - strong tacky glue (Fabri-Tac is a nice tacky glue that dries quickly)Scotch tape

Cut the plate in half.
With one half, make a cone shape and glue it
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 is resting 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
