 Paper Angel Preparation

Step 1:

Print off template:

cut the pieces & glue onto the back of a

cereal box.

 (there are 4 separate pieces on the template)

Angel Face, Dress & Wings onto Newsprint or tissue paper

N.B

Each Paper Angel consists of

2 x Angel Body

2 x Angel Face

2 X Angel Dress

1 x Angel Wings

Step 3:

Assembling your Paper Angel

Step 1:

Place your 2 x Angel Body side by side.

Glue the 1 x Angel Face &

1 x Angel Dress

 to the front of each Angel Body.

Leave to Dry.

 Step 2:

Take your 2 x Angel Body

& flip them over to the wrong side.

Glue the length of the  

Angel Body

Step 3:

Gently pinch the center of the Angel Wings being

careful not to create a crease along

the length of the wings.

Step 4:

Gently sandwich

the wings between the two Angel Body cut-outs.

Leave to dry.

N.B

I placed a small stone

over the central Angel Wing part

to keep the two Angel Body

parts together.

Step 4:

Punch a hole in the Angel Body (head)&

thread some string through

and

Hang for all to see!
