Put a few dots of craft glue around the edge of your paper plate. Taking the half piece of your paper plate, put a small dot of craft glue all around the edge of your plate. You do not need a lot of glue. You can also use small pieces of double-sided tape for this step. Gluing your doily on the bottom half of your paper plate angel.
Now put the half piece of your doily over the half piece of your paper plate as shown above. This piece will become the body of your angel.
Your doily can hang over the edge of your plate, or it can be shorter than the edge. This will just create a different design on the body or dress of your angel. Then put these two pieces aside to dry. Take your two remaining pieces of paper plate and cut a small equal sliver like a small piece of pie off each one. Do not cut anything off your pieces of doily. Take your two remaining pieces of doily and glue them down on your two bigger pieces of paper plate using the same method used for the body of your angel.
These two pieces will become the wings of your angel. If you wish, you can add more glitter or decoration to these pieces.
I glued more sequin on to my wings. Then put these pieces to the side to dry. Shape your body into a cone to make your paper plate angel. While your angel wings dry, take the body half of your angel and shape it into a cone. Use glue or tape to hold the two edges together in the back.
Then take the two smaller pieces of plate and glue them on to your angel body to look like arms. You can glue these pieces on with either the painted side showing or the bottom of your white plate showing I did one of each in my samples.
You might need to trim the length of these arm pieces a bit on the back side. Place these pieces on the body so the edges of the sleeves come together in the front of your angel. Then let these pieces dry. Use a styrofoam ball or wooden bead for the head of your angel.
While all your pieces dry, you can start to make the head for your angel. You can use a styrofoam ball, a wooden bead, or a round ball of dried clay for the head. If you are doing this project with small children, you may want to paint the heads and faces for the children beforehand.
You can leave your ball or bead in its natural state or paint it with a skin tone. I gave my wooden bead a light wash of white paint. You can leave your angel with no facial features. This is not unusual on angel figurines. Or you can add some features with paint, fine Sharpies or colored pencils. I made a few sample heads. On the left, I just gave the head a light wash of paint.

Now find the centre using the folds to guide you and just ABOVE the fold running across the paper plate, trace or draw a circle for the head.
Now we did a simple circle, as I knew we would decorate the paper angel later.. I find rolling the whole paper plate into a cone around the head first, makes the slotting of the wings together easier…. Then open up again and this time, when you reshape it into a cone, slot the wings together to make your basic angel.
Use whatever you have to hand to decorate your angels! We decided to go for simple skin tone faces and tissue paper hair. Sign me up! More to explore. Crochet Baby Turban Headband Pattern. About Us. Follow Us. Facebook-f Pinterest Twitter.
