A Popular Holiday Ornament: The Angel Christmas Tree
Ornament
Christmas really does not feel much like
Christmas without the presence of a Christmas tree in the
living room. The Christmas tree is about so much more than just
presents; it is a focal point for get-togethers with loved ones
during the holiday season.
So, celebrate the love by including an angel Christmas tree
ornament on your tree.
Angel Christmas Tree Ornaments: How to Make
Them
So, having made up your mind that you would like to add an
angel Christmas tree ornament to your tree, the next step is
thinking about the kind of angel you would like to include. In
fact, you can take it a step further by thinking about making
your own.
Indeed, angels are fun Christmas tree
ornaments to make for a variety of reasons. First of all,
they are inexpensive to make, and you can customize them in a
variety of different ways. In one example of an easy angel
Christmas tree ornament, you will need the following materials:
yarn (any color you want) markers, white construction paper,
pink construction paper, scissors, clear thread, pipe cleaners,
glue, a hole puncher, and glitter. You will also want an
additional sheet of construction paper – again, in any
color.
Start with that additional piece of construction paper. Cut
it into a triangle (any size that you might want). Then, roll
the triangle into a cone, and secure the place where the edges
meet with glue. This will serve as the body of the angel.
Next, take the hole punch and punch a hole in either side of
the cone – this will be the place to put pipe cleaners through
for the angel Christmas tree ornament. Next, take the pipe
cleaners and make a body – this will be very simple to do:
neck, arms, and legs. Pull the pipe cleaner through the hole
the hole puncher made.
Now it is time to make the face. Cut out a piece of pink
construction paper in the shape of a circle and, using the
markers, make the face of the angel Christmas tree ornament.
Once the face is done, simply glue it onto the front of the
neck that was made by the pipe cleaner. Add some hair, and glue
an additional pipe cleaner on top for the halo.
Finally, it is time to make the wings.
For this step, sketch out the wings that you want (one side at
a time) for the angel. Next, cut out the wings, and place some
glue on them in various designs. Next, sprinkle the glitter
over the glue, let it dry, then attach it to the angel.
Finally, add hands and feet with the leftover construction
paper, and tie some clear thread to the halo to secure it to
the tree. The result is a creative and fun Christmas
ornament!
