Angel Christmas Crafts
Clothespin Angel
1 4" peg clothespin
1 3/4" wooden ball for head
1 yd. 4" wide lace cut into 2 18" pieces
1/2 yd. 1 1/2-2" lace cut into 2 pieces
Place the 2 pieces of 4" wide lace on top of each other. Gather top, pull thread tight leaving a
small hole. Knot. This is the dress. Slip dress onto round part of clothespin, glue. Glue ball on
top. For the wings, join each piece of 1 1/2" lace with glue to make a tube. Overlap the 2 pieces
in the center, gather up the middle, wrap thread around and tie tightly. Glue wings onto dress
just below the head. Make a halo by forming a small circle from a piece of shiny pipe cleaner.
Tie a piece of thread or ribbon through this for a hanger and then glue halo on to head.
Decorate with ribbons, etc.
Pasta Angel
Rigatoni pasta
elbow pasta
wood ball (I have heard you can use a lima bean?)
small star/alphabet noodles --very small for hair
bow tie pasta-for wings
white spray paint
Glue the wood ball on top of rigatoni. Glue the tiny pasta on the wood ball (I used tacky glue).
Glue two elbow pastas for arms coming toward each other in front of angel. Add bow pasta in
back for wings. Paint white. Can add facial features if desired. Can add a gold halo of various
materials.

Trace each of your children's foot once, using white (for dress) and both hands (using yellow for

wings). Cut out each part (Make sure they're labeled who they belong to on back). 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 the 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!!!!
