| Praying angels with halos highlight this collaged wreath pasted on top of a paper plate. Look for even more angelic crafts at our Christmas blog here. |
To make this Christmas wreath with angels, children will need the following supplies: green solid paper scraps, decorative print paper scraps, a home printer, scrap typing paper, a paper plate, the printable below, colored pencils, white school glue and twine for a hanger.
With this craft parents or teachers can supply young students with a random array of scrap Christmas papers or even wrapping paper to work with. It is designed to enhance a ''scrappy'' decoupage aesthetic, at little expense to those making it. It would even look neat made with newsprint I think; there is no end to the variations kids can come up with. They just need a little guidance and encouragement!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Print and color the angel figures included below.
- Cut them out and set them aside to decorate the wreath with later.
- Cut out the center of a paper plate to build your wreath onto.
- Draw a simple holly shaped leaf on scrap typing paper. Once you have a shape that you like, use the leaf as a pattern to trace around. You will need many holly leafs for this wreath.
- Trace around the holly leaf on top of both patterned green Christmas papers and solid green construction papers.
- Then cut out the leaves and also cut them in half lengthwise.
- Now glue these onto multiple holly leaves cut from typing paper but do not cut these in half. Rotate pasting printed halves with the solid colored halves onto each holly leaf.
- Now layer the leaves around the paper plate with glue rotating the patterns and solids as you go in one direction. Cover all of the paper plate until you can no longer see it.
- Paste the angels evenly spaced around the wreath.
- Staple on a piece of twine so that you can hang your paper wreath creation on a wall or door.
