Making Christmas ornaments out of paper can be a great activity to get the whole family involved in, especially younger children. Those who are too young to follow cutting designs can join in by painting or drawing on the finished cut shapes. Making some of your own ornaments
Materials:
A4 Thick White Paper
Glue
Scissors
Black and Red Pens
Gold Glitter Glue
Optional: Gold Pipe Cleaner, Thread for Hanging
Method:
Start by taking a piece of paper and cutting it in half. Now you need to roll this paper round into a cone so there's no gap at the top and glue it along one edge. Trim the base of your cone to make it even. From the remaining half of your paper, cut out a pair of wings (keep them joined in the middle) and paint them with the gold glitter glue. From the paper scraps, cut out a circle for the Angel's face and draw a face on it using the pens before gluing it to the top of your cone. When the wings are dry you can glue them to the back of your Angel to finish. For extra authenticity you can glue a gold pipe cleaner to the back of your Angel's face and bend it up and round into a halo shape. You can sit these Angels up as freestanding ornaments or if you like or you can attach thread to hang them from the branches of your Christmas tree.
