Spoon Angel Crafts
This is appropriate for ages 3+.
Though younger children can decorate.
Materials you will need for the spoon angel are
a plastic spoon
a triangle of construction paper about the same height as the spoon
some markers, glitter glue, sparkles or sequins (we used glitter glue)
some scraps of wool
a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 white paper
tape
glue
OPTIONAL: small wiggly eyes
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut a triangle out of the construction paper (older children can do this themselves.
Decorate the triangle however you wish (we used glitter glue, but you could use markers,
bits of lace, sequins and/or sparkles.)
set aside your triangle to dry.
Take a black marker and draw on a face. Younger children will prefer to glue on
wiggly eyes instead of drawing the face. Take 3 or 4 strands of wool (you can tie bows or
braid the hair... you can make it long or short. Let the kids decide on the hair
style).
Put a knot in the top middle of the hair (so it's all tied together) and glue the knot to
the top of the spoon. We just used ordinary children's white glue to do this and it
worked fine...
Set the spoon aside (carefully) to dry.
Take the white sheet of paper and cut it in half so you have two 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 pieces of
paper (the measurements don't have to be exact. Discard one of the pieces (or use it
for your next angel)
Put the paper in front of you so the 8 1/2 inch side is facing you.
fan fold the 8 1/2 inch side. To fan fold: fold about 3/4 inch
flip paper over
fold about 3/4 inch
continue until it's all folded like a fan. Put a piece of tape around the center of
the fan to make wings.
Tape the spoon to the back of the triangle paper. Tape the fan wings to the back of
the spoon.
Add a small piece of wool or ribbon (tape it onto the top) so you can hang her on your
tree. Or you can pin her to a bulletin board or glue her to the front of a homemade
Christmas Card.
