Angel Arts & Crafts Ideas
Angelic Art
To
prepare, cut a class supply of seven inch tall triangles from inexpensive
lace fabric and three inch circles from white or skin toned construction
paper.
Have each child glue a triangle body and a circle face onto a sheet of
construction paper. Then have him press his hands into white tempera
paint
and onto the paper to make the angel's wings. Have him use crayons
to
add facial features and glitter glue to add a halo. If desired,
attach the following poem to each child's angel picture.
I'm just
a little angel,
So sweet and heavenly,
Made from lace and handprints
For all the world to see.
Footprint Angel
You can use the new fun foam
stuff or just poster board for this project.
Trace
each of your children's foot once, using white (for dress)
and both
hands (using yellow for wings). Cut out
each part. Let the children glitter
and glue the
hands to make wings sparkle. Take each child's
picture
focusing on their head and face.
Help the children glue hands (wings)
to the feet (body).
Cut their face from picture and glue to body. Add
string to make it hang. Add a piece of sparkly pipe
cleaner for a halo.
Using a paint pen, date the
bottom
The tag reads as follows:
This little angel is special you see;
Because she is a part of me!!
Her wings are my hands,
Her body my feet!
And on our tree she'll look very sweet!!!!
Angel
Centerpiece
Stuff
a colored paper lunch bag with shredded tissue paper or newspaper strips.
Fold over the top and staple the bag shut. Then fold a white paper
doily over the
top and staple it in place. Glue on a precut four inch paper circle
for the angel's
face. Use a crayon or marker to add facial features; then glue on
hair made
of crinkled gift wrap stuffing, yarn, or floral moss. Bend a sparkly
pipe cleaner
into a halo and staple it to the top of the bag so it sits atop the
angel's head.
Coffee Filter Angel Craft
Materials Needed:
Three coffee filters for each angel
One large bead for the head
Pipe cleaner
Doll hair
Paint
Procedure:
Cut the pipe cleaner in half. Gather up one coffee filter
across the width
and wind one of the halves of pipe
cleaners around it to make the wings.
Cut about 10 strings
of doll hair about 6 inches long. Wrap the other half
of
the pipe cleaner around the middle of the doll hair
lengths leaving about
1 1/2” of pipe cleaner at one end.
Wind the 1 1/2” length around to form a
halo. Insert the
other end of the pipe cleaner through the center of a
coffee
filter and then through the center of the bead and
then through the center
of another coffee filter. Bend a
loop in the end of the pipe cleaner so the
coffee filters
and bead don’t fall off. Bring the top coffee filter down
around
the bead and gather it around the bottom of the
bead to form the neck of the
angel. Attach the wings to
the body just below the bottom of the bead. Wind
the ends
of the pipe cleaner from the wings around to form the arm.
Paint the angel with water colors or glitter glue and draw
on a face.
Angelic
Ornament
Place a
cotton ball in the center of a coffee filter. Wrap the filter around
the
cotton ball, gathering it so that the covered cotton ball resembles an
angel's
head. Tie white yarn around what would be the angel's neck.
(Don't trim the
excess yarn!) Pinch the middle of a flattened foil candy wrapper or
a piece
of similar sized gift wrapping foil for the angel's wings. Secure
the wings with
the yarn ends at the angel's neck. Squirt a small dab of glue on top
of the
angel's head. Sprinkle glitter atop the glue. Use ornament
hooks to hang
these angelic ornaments on a miniature tree for a festive display.
Paper Plate Angel
Use a 6x9 and cut a triangle for
the "dress". From the scrapes cut rectangles or triangles
for arms.
Cut a circle head. Decorate with crayon and
glitter. Use 1/2 a doily glued on the back for wings.
