Paper Cup Angels

Ok I know another Christmas Decoration post. Sorry!!! I LOVE Christmas so there will be heaps of Christmas posts. This one is a bit more complicated, requires preparation and adult help.

To make your lovely Angels you will need:
Paper Cups
Paper Doilies
Small Christmas Baubles
Pipecleaners
Sticker Dots
Paint and Paintbrushes
Hot Glue or PVA 



We started by painting a paper cup which I had already pieced making two holes for arms to be threaded through. Once the Angels had been painted the children threaded through a long pipecleaner to create arms. I used a hot glue gun to secure a Christmas Bauble to the top of the cup to make a head and two paper doilies folded into quarters to the backs of the Angels for wings.

The children then used sticky dots for eyes and a half length pipecleaner was poked through the top of the bauble to create a halo.

A super cute Angel all ready to hang on the Christmas Tree.

These Angels turned out very cute, they did however need lots of adult assistance and supervision especially when attaching items with a hot glue gun. PVA would work equally as well, we just like the instant results of the glue gun.
