Angel Craft

Making an angel craft can sometimes be a little advanced – especially for kids to make. But this easy angel craft is really simple and turns out so beautiful! We love how you can make a silver, gold or even all-white angel. If you have colored doilies you can even make different colors too. This doily angel craft is the perfect ornament for kids to help make. It would also make a great Christmas gift to give to friends, relatives or even classes to make to bring home.

Supplies Needed to Make a Paper Doily Angel Craft

Small paper doilies – we used white, silver, and gold

– We got our doilies at Michaels in the party section (by Martha Stewart), but here are a few similar packages from Amazon: Gold, Silver, White. Note the sizing on these may differ but they come in 3 sizes so the smaller one should be similar in size. The size of the doilies we used were 4.5 inches tall. 

Small wooden balls

Gold and silver pipe cleaners

Small bow – we found ours in the Christmas section at Michaels, but you can use any sort of embellishment here. You can even use regular ribbon to create your own bow.

Acrylic paint for the head 

Hot glue (adults only)

Some ribbon or twine for hanging

How to Make Paper Angels

1. First, take your white doily and cut a slit half way through. Then wrap the edges around so that you get a piece that looks like this.

4. Now make the wings. Take either silver or gold doilies and fold them over two times. You can also use white if you want a white angel. Then glue this to each side of the angel.
