Angel Craft

Parents,

Here is  a great craft to do with your kids over Christmas break. The angels would also make nice Christmas gifts.

For a creative family project, that is fun and shouldn’t cause any significant wars, perhaps only a small skirmish, try making these beautiful angel ornaments out of pasta noodles. My wife made these with her high school art students for a Christmas fund raiser.

With a couple of boxes of pasta, the aid of a hot glue gun, plenty of glue sticks, some spray paint, a bit of glitter (optional), and the purchase of 20mm round wood beads from the craft store, you are ready for mass production.

Important
• Use noodles right out of the box. Do not cook.
• Supervise small children with hot glue gun.
• When you get the hang of it, have fun, experiment and be as creative as you want.

Materials
Wood bead – for the head

Rigatoni –  body of the angel

Elbow macaroni – for the arms

Bowtie pasta – for the wings

Ditalini pasta or smaller beads – for the hair

Black Sharpie – to draw face of angel

Small mirrored tiles – for book in angel’s hands (optional)

Use photos as a guide.
Be creative!
Use gold or silver ribbon as hangers.

 Merry Christmas!
