First craft is creating an angel out of copy paper. and an egg.
1. To create this angel you need an
eggshell. Take an egg and carefully create a hole at each end. With
a strong breath blow into the egg so the whites and yolk come out the
other hole. Rinse the egg but remember to treat it gently at all
times for it is fragile.
2. Once the eggshell is dry draw a face
with markers, colored pencils or what have you and then put a piece
of wire or pipe cleaner in the bottom hole. This wire will be the
connection between the egg and the cone.3. For hair cut strips of paper and curl them with a pencil. Glue then to the egg making sure to cover the top hole.
4. With copy paper create a cone and cut out wings and arms. I made the cone with one piece of copy paper and trim the base so the cone measures 8 inches high. The wings and arms are cut by folding a piece of paper in half so that both wings and both arms are the same. The wings measure 7 inches across at the widest when the wings are unfolded. They measure 7 inches long from top to tip. The arms measure 7 ½ inches long unfolded and are 2 inches wide at the end of the sleeves.
5. Glue the arms to the wings and then to the cone. Put the pipe cleaner or wire in the top of the cone and set the head in the desired position. Glue the ends of the sleeves together so it looks as though the angel is folding her hands. The halo is a circle of paper glued to the back of the angel's head.
6. Other ideas. Add glitter to the halo and wings. Use blue or another color paper for her dress and yellow. Brown or black paper for her hair. Use yarn for her hair, ribbon for her halo and cover the cone in printed holiday paper.
