In this tutorial, you are going to be shown how to make angel tree ornaments to be hung on the Christmas tree branches. You won’t need a large budget for such crafts. I suggest to create several of these embellishments so that you can have them hanging next to your most beautiful baubles, snowflakes, candy canes and other ornaments.

What you need to have on hand:

Directions:

 

Cut the cardstock in two: one part must be 1/3 of the height of your cardstock sheet, the other must be 2/3.

Fold the 1 third of your cardstock in a zigzag orientation. The number of zigzags depends on your personal tastes – this part will feature the angel’s upper body and arms.

Glue one size of the folded paper to the wooden stick (see picture). Check so as to see if the inner end of your folded cardstock in located on the center of the stick.

Now carefully stretch the other part of the cardstock so as to make it touch the other part of the stick (see picture above). Glue this part to the popsicle stick. Your angel’s arms and upper body part are almost finished.

Repeat the zigzag folding on the remaining 2/3 of the stockcard.

Put the top ends together so as to form some kind of folded triangle and glue it on the center of the popsicle stick (in-between the two parts of the 1/3 cardstock – see picture). This larger part of the craft features then angel’s gown.

Cut half a circle out of the white sheet construction paper. While cutting it, create small indentations for a more ornamental effect (see image above). Glue this half circle on top end of the body and arms. Now your angel has a nicely adorned upper dress. If you have some craft punchers, you can even create some kind of lace effect.
