Paper Christmas Angel Ornament

Create a Christmas Angel Ornament for your Xmas Tree this year using paper! Fun and easy activity for the kids.

What you need

1 sheet of card stock or a heavier paper
Ribbon and Needle
Bead
Hole punch

Scoreboard

Instructions

Step 1

Using your scoreboard or ruler, score your paper at the half inch mark while the paper is in landscape mode.

Step 2

Cut 2 inches off the longest edge of the paper  twice to create the wings.

Step 3

Now, you will fold all three pieces of paper in a fan like manner. When you begin, your first fold should be away from you. This way the last fold will be folded away from you as well.

Step 4

Using a hole punch, punch holes on the top of all three sheets, evenly.

Step 5

Take all three pieces of your Christmas Angel Ornament and over-lap them on the ends. This is where folding them in the direction I told you before will really help out, and your holes will match up.

Step 6

With the ribbon your chose, lace it through the holes and even through the double layered ones as well. I didn’t have a measured length of ribbon, I used it on the roll then cut it after I laced it through the holes.

Step 7

Once you have the ribbon laced through all the holes you will pull it very tight. Once you have it tight and you can see the wings form, tie a knot.

Step 8

You can use any size pearl bead you want for the head, but you need to make sure your bead has a hole big enough to get both strands of the ribbon through. Once you have the ribbon through the bead hole, tie another knot to hold the head in place.

Step 9

I made my ribbon above the bead 3 inches long, but again depending on what you will use this Christmas Angel Ornament for the length is up to you. Tie it off at the top, and you’re done!
