I bring to your attention an interesting hand-made article of an Angel made of paper using the paper-plastic technique. Ready-made figurines of angels can be hung on the tree, decorate the interior of the room. It can be used as a gift for Christmas, Easter for family and friends.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

In order to complete a paper craft, you will need:

  • thick white paper for sketching or watercolor f. A4, also. you can use white, cream or pale blue pastel paper (it all depends on your imagination);
  • simple graphic pencil;
  • compass;
  • square (ruler);
  • glue stick, liquid glue for creative work or PVA;
  • standard and manicure scissors (preferably with straight blades);
  • for decorating the angel rhinestones, trimmings (satin, lace ...), and so on. good mood and your imagination!

How to make an angel out of paper with your own hands? Step by step instructions with photo

Step 1


Select the paper from which the Angel will be made. Draw the center lines with a pencil and draw a circle with a compass with a radius of R \u003d 55 mm (circle diameter 110 mm). Set points on the center line:

  • horizontally from the center 15 mm;
  • vertically upwards from the center 30 mm.

Step 2

Draw lines through points 1, 2 and 3.

Step 3

Cut the circle along these lines.

Step 4


You will have three shapes. The lower sector is the body of an angel, and the other two are its wings. The body should consist of two identical parts for the front and back sides of the angel. To do this, put the lower sector on the paper, circle it and cut along the contour. You will end up with two identical blanks.

Step 5

Draw a circle with a compass with a radius of R \u003d 12.5 mm (circle diameter 25 mm), cut it out - this is the head of an angel. And so, your angel consists of 5 parts that need to be assembled and glued using pencil glue.

Step 6

We glue the head and wings with pencil glue from the seamy side.

Step 7

We make a loop of the required length from a thick thread (iris) or thin braid, glue it to the body of an angel. We glue the sector on top to add neatness to the craft.

Step 8


We make feathers at the wings: we cut out the shape of a wing with nail scissors and with scissors we make cuts in the form of a fringe along the edges. The scissors must be kept flat so that the paper cuts begin to rise by themselves, repeating the shape of the feather. The number of feathers for a wing is from 12 to 15 pieces, it all depends on the size of the feather. I made feathers about 1.5 to 2 cm long and 1 to 1.5 cm wide.

Step 9


Each feather must be revived: for this, bend them towards you with your fingers, to the side ..., i.e. it is necessary to give a semi-volume natural feather shape. We glue the feathers, starting from the edge, applying PVA glue with a drop only on the lower base of the feather.

Step 10


We start to decorate the angel, using braid, rhinestones. We glue them with PVA glue. The angel, in principle, is READY!

Step 11

If you wish, you can make pens for the angel. To do this, you need to draw a pen in the desired position (bent handle, lowered), cut it out - this will be a template. Attach it to the finished angel, try on whether everything is proportional and if everything suits you, transfer this template to paper twice (with a mirror image).

Step 12


Cut out two angel arms and glue to the base of the wings.

Step 13

Your Angel is READY!

I wish you creative success !!!

A Bird flew out of the heart!

Light shone from gentle wings!

In diamond dust, on the pages

Heavenly Angel slept sweetly

And the Angel dreamed of open spaces!

Endless stars endless Light!

And mountains rose into the sky!

Goodness and light! ... From hearts!

We use ready-made figurines of angels as a design element in the preschool educational institution, it will also be nice to give such a gift to dad and mom, grandmother or grandfather, for example, for Easter, or for Christmas.

The most interesting thing is that the idea of \u200b\u200bmodeling angels can be used to make other figurines. For example, the heroes of the tabletop puppet (or finger) theater for children.

In order to complete such a craft, you will need: white (and colored) A4 paper, pencils or felt-tip pens, glue stick, scissors, as well as a good mood and your imagination!

Step 1. Take a sheet of white paper or cardboard. Let's draw on it the outline of the future figure. So that later the figure can stand, when drawing the lower line-arc, it is better to use a compass.

Step 2... Then carefully cut along the line (photo 2), and make additional cuts to fold the figure (photo 3).

Step 4. Now you can do the decor elements. You can decorate the angels with hearts or flowers, or you can show your imagination and use foil, quilling elements, voluminous flowers, cut out pieces of pictures from magazines, or ordinary small stickers.

Step 5. We glue decorations on the figurines of our angels.

Step 6. Now you can shape the face. We used colored pencils and markers.

Step 7. So you can arrange the exhibition.

DIY guardian angel

It's New Year and Christmas! These holidays keep in themselves a lot of mysterious, unexpected and new. Giving gifts is also new. You can buy them, or you can make them yourself. This process is fascinating, brings a lot of pleasure, calms and relaxes.

I propose to make an angel with your own hands - the keeper of all bright desires and hopes. Such an angel can become both a symbolic souvenir gift and your own home amulet. After all, a man-made toy keeps in itself not only your good thoughts, but also the warmth of your soul!

You will need:

1. Fabric
2. Paper, large amount (I used tracing paper, toilet paper can be adapted)
3. Woolen threads
4. Plastic (which can be purchased at an art store)
5. Wire, thick and thin
6. Scissors
7. Hot glue gun and PVA glue
8. Accessories for decoration: beads, beads, ribbons, feathers, decorative threads, sequins, glitter.
9. Acrylic paints or markers
10. Toy with a child's face
11. Stapler

Blank body "body":

(as I did, you can think of another way)

Soak the paper in a bowl or in a deep bowl, tear it into small pieces. The amount of paper depends on the size of the upcoming figurine. For example, 1-2 small figures can be made from 7 A4 sheets. Stir the soaked paper with a mixer until gruel forms or use your hands to achieve this state.

Cut a square (approximately 10 x 10 cm or slightly larger) from a thick bag or other soft, water-resistant material. Make an incision to the middle of the square, roll it up in a small bag and secure with a stapler.

Add PVA glue to the pulp, mix and, scooping up a handful of paper, squeeze. Tamp the mass into a small bag, pressing from above, drain the excess water. Put on the battery overnight, the next day, carefully cut the bag and put it back on the battery until it dries completely.
You need to cut off the tip of the resulting shape, focus on the diameter of the neck of the upcoming figure. Cut off any irregularities, this can be done with a clerical knife.

Mold for head

Roll a ball out of a piece of plastic and flatten it a little. Take the toy (item # 10 on the list above) and press your face into the plastic. Previously, the face of the toy can be greased with a small amount of sunflower oil. Gently take out your face, cure the plastic in the way described in the instructions. Now we have a cast ready, it will help create the head.

The preparatory processes are over, and we can proceed to the actual production of the souvenir. All the following stages of work are described in a step-by-step photo course on the following pages of this material.

A detailed photo course on making a guardian angel

1. The work will require: woolen threads, decor, plastic, fabric, acrylic paints or felt-tip pens, PVA glue.

2. Roll a ball about the size of the toy's head. Lubricate the mold with sunflower oil, and press the ball into it. Press firmly in the middle so that all the reliefs are clear.

3. Take out the form. You should get a face with a plastic frame.

4. The plastic needs to be smoothed back, creating a neck and head volume. Irregularities can be left behind, they will be hidden by the hair.

5. Cut two pieces of wire, approximately 2 cm and 4 cm long. Leave the long one straight, and bend the short one in an arc, it will serve as an eyelet for the ribbon.

6. Carefully insert the loop halfway into the crown of the head, and a straight piece of wire into the neck. Cure the plastic according to the instructions.

7. In the mold (body), use an awl to make a hole for the wire at the base of the neck. Glue the base of the neck with glue and fix the head on the figurine.

8. You can cover your neck with a decorative ribbon. Apply a drop of glue to the back of the figurine and glue one end of the tape obliquely. Wrap the neck with tape in one or more turns and glue it on the back.

9. Mix the paints until you get a color similar to the skin color, apply to the head of the figurine. Once dry, sketch out the eyes, lips, cheeks. This can be done with permanent markers. You can stick on glitter or glitter.

10. For the frame of the wings, you need a piece of wire 30 cm long. Bend it in half, then bend the wire in the shape of the wings, both parts of it at the same time.

11. Wrap the ends of the wire to the middle of the resulting shape, and secure them at the intersection, press with pliers.

12. Spread the halves of the wire to the sides and correct the shape of the wings with your hands.

13. For the wings you need to cut the "feathers". We will make them out of fabric. Take the fabric and fold it several times to cut several feathers at the same time.

14. Cut the feathers into elongated petals. Cut into a handful. All "by eye". We use 2 types of feather fabrics - blue and white.

15. "Feathers" are glued with glue. Apply glue to the bottom edges of the frame from the "front" side, glue the feathers and immediately repeat this from the "wrong" side.

16. Stick the feathers on top of each other for a plumage effect. At the top, on the "front" side of the wings, glue the feathers so that they extend beyond the border of the frame.

17. After gluing the reverse side, apply glue to its upper edge and with the protruding tips of the feathers (item 16) go around the frame, gluing them to the "seamy" side. Cut off the excess.

18. The wings for our angel should be so cute.

19. Draw a piece of the dress according to the size of the figure and cut out two pieces with a fold from the fabric. Zigzag the neckline and hem, fold the front and back together, and zigzag the shoulder and side seams.

20. All zigzag stitches can be sewn with decorative thread. Now decorate the dress with sequins, acrylics, beads, glitter glue to your liking.

21. For hair, you need woolen threads. Tread loosely around your fingers. Cut the resulting skein in the folds - top and bottom, and lay the "hair" flat on the table.

22. You can add decorative threads to your hair by putting them on top of the main ones. In this example, golden threads are used.

23. In the middle of the hair, lay a straight stitch so that the seam is approximately 4-6 cm long. You can apply sparkles to the finished wig, cut off the bangs.

24. Of course, a wig can be made from other materials as well. So, we have the main components of a souvenir ready - a figurine, dress, wings and hair.

25. Put a dress on the figure, drip a little glue in the area of \u200b\u200bthe neckline to fix the dress on the figure.

26. In the "belly" area, apply glue and glue the sleeves ("handles") on top of each other.

27. Place glue on the middle of the back and press down on the wings. Holding them in this position, wait until they lock into place. Apply glue down the middle of the wings from the back, then from the barrels. Hold the wings until they are fully locked.

28. Apply glue to the forehead, glue the wig. Also tape your hair to the back of your head and sides. Try not to fill the loop at the top of your head with glue.

29. Carefully style your hair at the back. To be sure, they can be glued, fixing the desired position.

30. Thread a beautiful ribbon into the eyelet on your head using thin tweezers or a small hook.

31. Tie the ends of the ribbon together to form a loop. For this loop, the angel can be hung on a Christmas tree, hook, etc.

32. The finished result of work on our guardian angel.

33. Here is a different version of the angel. Play with the design! The wings can be wrapped with beaded wire or beautifully wrapped with a decorative ribbon, sewn a dress from several materials, etc.

34. A souvenir with an angel can become a symbolic gift for your loved ones and friends or your own amulet.

Create, fantasize and create beauty around you!

Good afternoon, in this article I have collected a variety of crafts in the form of Christmas Angels. On the eve of this New Year, I want to do something kind, touching, pure and sincere with my own hands. I would like to let into my life a kind quiet helper - an angel hovering next to me. Let today you want to make a little home angel with your own hands. And I will show you a variety of ways to realize this desire.

Angels are on magnets.

(craft for children

do it yourself).

From cardboard, gift paper and a magazine page, you can make a beautiful angel with a magnet. Cut out the face from cardboard (ordinary packaging beige and brown). On it with a marker, draw black eyes (with lowered eyelashes), a nose and a mouth. Cut out the hair from the magazine page - look for a photo of a girl with hair in an old magazine and cut out the silhouette of an angel's hairstyle on this “hairy place” (photo below). In the same magazine, you can find a photo with jewelry or lace and cut it out - to use the angel head ornament (as in the photo below).

Cut out the angel's dress from white cardboard, cut out a semicircle from patterned wrapping paper - these will be the angel's wings. We collect the craft with glue. Attach the magnet on the reverse side (with glue or double-sided tape).

And your New Year's angel fridge magnet with your own hands is ready.

For decorating angels, you can use lace, leftover wallpaper with an embossed pattern, pretty old notebook covers, old greeting cards, old gift bags, candy boxes, crunchy inserts in candy boxes, and other shiny and beautiful surfaces. An old CD cut in half can become angel wings too. Take a look around and you will find a suitable elegant material right at home.

It is also very good to use openwork paper napkins for pastry baking for the wings (as in the photo below).

If you want your angels to be not flat, but stood steadily on the table as volumetric figures made of thick paper or cardboard. Then you can do this the configuration of the bottom of the angels (as in the photo below). That is, the angel's lower cardboard skirt CONTINUE DOWN and bend it twice - to the back of the angel, and glue it from behind. Then your New Year's angel will stand on the table like a toy.

Paper angels

folding beds with wishes.

Children in kindergarten with their own hands can make such cute angels from colored paper. those

Below I drew an assembly diagram of such an angel. So that everyone understands how easy it is. Hair is cut from a strip of paper, before cutting, we fold the upper part of the strip into a fold. And we cut the corners of this fold in a semicircle (we get the same shape as in the diagram below, with the bangs area and the area of \u200b\u200bloose hair). We put a circle of pink paper (face) under the fold line and bend the bang fold from above.

The body of the paper angel is easy to fold according to the diagram below. We take a rectangle of paper and fold its upper corners downwards - to the middle of the lower line of the rectangle (exactly as we do when assembling a paper boat). Cut off the top and you're done.

Angel made of paper napkin.

Craft for the New Year.

And here is an interesting proposal for table setting for the New Year. From cardboard we express a simple MIXED SHAPE - a head with wings. In the middle of the wings (in the chest part of the angel) we make a triangular cut. And into it we insert the tip of a paper napkin folded in the shape of a sharp cone.

So I drew the outlines of a template for this craft in the form of an angel. Now your napkins will lay beautifully on the angel plates - a great table design for Christmas. And a simple craft for kids.

Crafts - angels

Based on PAPER CONE.

We all know how to make paper bags out of paper. Cut out the paper circle. Cut off a sector of any size in the circle. We glue (or connect with a stapler) the side of the sector and get a cone.

If we take a narrow sector of the circle, then we get a long thin cone. If we took a wide sector (in half a circle, or more), then we will get a lush wide cone-skirt for our angel.

Here are some ideas for Christmas angel crafts, where a paper cone is taken as the basis for an angel shirt.

These angels are glued from a sector to a quarter circle. That is, cut the round sheet into quarters like a pie. We glue each quarter-sector into a cone and get four blanks for the angel. Further, according to the scheme below, we make wings (with a slot in the middle) and a head. We put all this together in a common craft in the form of an angel who folded his hands in front of him in Christmas prayer.

And here are the crafts-angels where the cone is made of thick gift paper. In the gift wrapping department we can buy rolls or sheets of gift paper with a bright festive pattern. From such paper, angels are very elegant. Paper angel heads can be made from ping pong balls (they can be tinted with beige gouache, or beige eyeshadow, and the paint can be fixed with hairspray). And on these balls you can stick hair from threads. Cut the threads into segments, arrange the segments in a row in a bundle. Sew this bundle with stitches in the middle - as if to part in the hair. And then stick this hair with a parting on the head of an angel. Next, shape the hairstyle at your discretion.

For small craft paper angels, you can use a large bead as a head.

You can give your craft in the form of an angel a textured shape. To do this, all parts connected together can be pasted over with paper napkins. Spread the cone with PVA glue and cover with pieces of a torn napkin, again apply a layer of glue on top of it and again a layer of napkins - so we get a durable papier-mâché craft.

And here is an interesting cutting of a paper angel based on a cone - where the wings are not glued to the angel separately, but are already included in the overall pattern of the craft. Below I give step by step instructions how to draw such a diagram for an angel by hand.

  • First, we draw a circle - either with a compass, or circle a large plate on a piece of paper.
  • Then we find the middle line of the circle (draw a line with a pencil).
  • Above the line, draw a circle of the head, and the outlines of the wings of an angel.
  • We take scissors and cut off the excess - the part that is above the drawn head and between the edges of the wings.
  • And with scissors on the central line we make two cuts - the first from the right edge of the line, and the second on the left side of the angel - from the base of the head (angel's neck) towards the edge (as in the photo below).
  • Next, we collect the angel with our hands. We bend the skirt part like a cone-bag - and insert the slot into the slot. It turns out a fastener-solder due to these cuts. And the wings themselves bend to the sides and the head sticks up.

Paper angel

From an openwork napkin.

And here is an example of an angel made from confectionery paper napkin. Here we make three cones at once - a skirt cone, and two hand cones. Inside the sleeves of the cones, we see the hands of an angel - they are made from a slightly broken ice cream stick. A base is hidden under the angel's skirt (a cork from a bottle of wine, or a cut neck from a plastic bottle. The base under the skirt is needed so that under the weight of the ball-head and hands our skirt-cone does not bend.

And here is another angel, made according to the same pattern but with twisting elements made of paper (quilling). Here the wings are made of strips of paper rolled and glued using the quilling technique. Hair is also twisted strips of paper, pens are also quilling modules. But the dress, with sleeves and a collar, is just paper elements. Which are decorated with lace made with a simple hole punch. We cut out conical blanks, and before we wrap these blanks into cones, we first make an openwork row of holes along the edge - with an ordinary office punch. It turns out smart and unusual.

DIY angel

From the leaves of corn.

The corn stalk, when properly dried, is a very durable craft material. From it, like corrugated paper, you can cut and roll bast crafts. And an angel can also emerge from a corn leaf. We wrap the round ball with corn cake (we get the head and trunk of the neck passing down into the body of an angel. We attach a fan skirt, wings, etc. to this trunk. children.

Craft angel for children

From egg packaging.

The cardboard cassettes in which we buy eggs are the source of the conical shapes. Cut out the tapered parts of the package. We paint it white and use it as the basis for the angel's New Year's children's crafts. You can place such angels on the festive table, hang them on a Christmas tree as a Christmas tree decoration, or make them part of a New Year's composition to decorate the interior.

DIY angels

From ice cream sticks.

Here is an idea for Christmas decorations in the form of Christmas angels. We paint the ice cream sticks in white gouache, fix the paint with hairspray so that our hands do not get dirty. And we collect the angel with glue. Add elements from cardboard, wooden beads, threads and foil. We get a Christmas tree pendant toy for the New Year.

Angels for children

Crafts from plates.

Ordinary disposable plates - plastic or paper - can be used to make an angel for Christmas.

Below we see an example of a children's flat applique. Here we cut out only a segment of the skirt from the plate, and everything else is made of cardboard and fluffy wire.

But the volumetric angels - where the round plate is the basis for twisting the cone. And the angel is created on the principle of a conical paper craft

Craft angel for kids.

In the imprint technique.

Children are very fond of handprint graphics. If you put your palm three times on a sheet of paper (tightly squeezing your fingers), then we get the entire silhouette of an angel at once - with a dress and two wings behind the back. It remains only to supplement this craft with a face, hair from threads and a halo above your head.

Salty dough angels.

Salted dough is an interesting craft material. With its help, we can make any sketches and shapes using only pure imagination and sleight of hand. The dough is plastic and keeps its shape well after drying. Beautiful crafts that will delight your loved ones for a long time.

Angels sewn from felt

and crocheted.

If your child has already taken up needlework from fabric and thread, then you can organize a feasible craft for children's hands. Cut out the paired parts of the angel - the front and back parts and give the child the task to connect these pairs together along the edge with a regular edging seam.

And here is an example of a crocheted angel. For those who know how to knit, this is a simple task. Just run the canvas in a circle, and decrease the number of columns in a row if you want to narrow the canvas, or add if you want to expand.

The design of your crochet angel depends on your imagination and the threads that you have in stock. Angel hair is easy to make by stretching long threads, picking up the columns along the edge of the angel's face.

Or you can hook the threads to the angel's head along the central parting. And then collect in a pigtail or other hairstyle.

These are the ideas for this New Year on how to make an angel with your own hands.

You can also

become Angels yourself

Paper, a very simple and affordable material, but armed with imagination, you can create a wonderful gift for yourself and your loved ones. And may the Angel, made by children's hands, always be there, protect from any adversity.

Step-by-step execution of crafts.

First step. Making an angel.
Take a sheet of office paper of your choice. We'll make a white angel.
Fold the sheet in half, cut it. We will work with one half.


Fold half of the sheet in half again and cut.


Cut off the edges of the rectangles with zigzag scissors. This will be our angel's dress. Decorate the dress with a curly hole punch. If you have a curly edge punch, use it. The dress will be smart and lace.



We carefully fold each half with an "accordion". The folds should be even, small.



Let's make wing sleeves on the dress. Fold down 5cm. (The third part of the rectangle). Like this. We repeat the manufacturing process on the other half.



Gently grease the side of the sleeve with glue and glue it to the dress.



Put the blanks aside and make the head. For this we need a large white bead, a needle and thread. We pass the needle and thread through the hole in the bead several times. It will be hair.


Glue a golden halo to the head.


We grease the side of the dress well with glue, insert the thread between the two halves of the dress and press it tight. We are waiting for the details of the dress and the head of the angel to stick together.




Let's decorate our angel. We glue the bow, gilt the dress with the gel - glitter and add sequins. Here is such a sweet, kind Angel - the Guardian we got. It can be hung on a tree or simply presented as a gift.




Children's works. If you can't find a large bead for the head, make a paper roll.




Second phase. Making a wreath for an angel.
Take thick cardboard. Draw two circles 24 cm and 22 cm in diameter


Cut out along the marking line and get such a circle.


We will wrap it with pink "Grass" thread.



We will make a loop of threads and glue the angel to the wreath.



Glue the glitter-colored pasta stars.



Add roses from satin ribbons. We will decorate the wreath in soft, gentle colors.
