A Step by Step guide to making a Paper Angel
This paper Angel takes a bit of time and patience but the result
should be worth it. Good luck!
You'll need:
♥ Three A3 papers
♥ Two A4 papers
♥ Scissors
♥ Glue
♥ Sellotape
♥ & a teedy bit of patience ;)
♥ The Body ♥
Step 1. Take two pieces of A3 paper and fold them like the paper
fans shown in the second drawing (Step 2.)
Step 3. Take one of the folded pages above, connect the top corners
together with sellotape to make half a cone. Do this again with the
second paper.
Step 4. Take the two half made cones and place them together to
make one bigger cone. Put some sellotape to hold it together as
shown.
♥ The Wings ♥
Step 5. Take the third A3 paper, fold it as in step one.
Step 6. Now squeeze it along the middle and sellotape it together.
Step 7. On the cone you made earlier, there should be slits on the
sides were you did not sellotape it together. This is were you have to
slide the wings in. TIP: you can trim the wings a bit to suit your
liking, or even stick some glitter/feathers on.
♥ The Sleeves ♥
Step 9. To make the sleeves/arms, take an A4 paper. Cut a strip of
10 cm in width.
Step 10. Fold as shown and press the middle of the strip.
Step 11. And slit it through on the sides where you slid the wings in.
Steps 12./13. Now make the paper hands as shown and attach them
to the sleeves. Tip: Make the candlestick by rolling up a little
rectangular piece of paper & cut the top of it into a "flame" as
shown.
♥ The Head ♥
Step 14. Almost finished, draw the angel's head as shown with paper
flaps. The halo is optional, stick the flaps around the top of the
angel's body.
Step 15. This is the last step, to cover the visible white flaps of the
angel's head you could make a paper blouse or add glitter/ tinsel.
