These Christmas angels are very easy to make (although may require some adult help for construction) and look great. The kids had a really fun time decorating them and can't wait to hang them on the Christmas tree (when we finally get around to getting our Christmas tree that is!)
What you will need:
Thin cardboard
silver foil
small Styrofoam ball
small paper doilies
toothpicks (if desired)
black texta
scissors
glue or sticky tape
glitter or tinsel
ribbon or wool
pin
How to make it:
Draw a circle with a diameter of about 20cm on the cardboard and cut out (I just traced around a bread plate).
Cover with silver foil (or you can leave it plain).
Cut a slit into the centre of the circle.
Roll the circle into as tight a cone as possible.
Get the kids to decorate!
Fold the doily in half and glue to the back of the angel.
Use black texta to draw a face on the styrofoam ball (older kids could do this themselves but mine couldn't). Poke the toothpick into the ball and put through the top of the cone (you may need to make the hole bigger). Glue into place.
Make a halo for the angel out of tinsel and glue onto head.
Attach a loop of ribbon or wool and pin to the angel's head (if you want to hang them on the christmas tree!)
Esme busy putting glitter on her angels - we like a lot of glitter in this house!!
Jacob chose to cover his in silver foil first then put glitter and tinsel on

It's a great way to keep the kids entertained - Jacob spent ages doing his (although can't say the same about Esme - she was more interested in what Daddy was doing outside!)
