Angel Christmas Tree Ornament!

Happy Holidays! There is only a few more days until Christmas so why not add a new ornament to the tree? Today we will make an exciting christmas ornament of an angel! Let's get started! All you need is a few materials:


COFFEE FILTER

• Three coffee filters
• Two cotton balls
• A 6-8 inch piece of ribbon (thin)
• One white chenille stem
• One gold chenille stem
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun

Now we are ready to start! First, take one of the coffee filters and place two cotton balls in the middle. Next, hold the coffee filter in your fingers and squeeze it so that the cotton balls are in the center and a circle forms in the top. The top part will be the angels head. In addition, take another coffee filter and tuck it in from the open side. This will give the effect of a dress. Furthermore, tie a small piece of ribbon around the "neck" or where the face extends to the dress. More importantly, take the last coffee filter and fold it in half. Then, fold it lengthwise to make creases. (accordian style) Take your white chenille stem and wrap it around the middle. Stretch them out slowly to make them bigger. These are going to be its wings. Below, is how it should look.

 Now we are going to make the halo from the gold chenille stem. You need to wrap it around the head and twist the ends together. Since the chenille stem is so long, cut the remaining piece so there is about three inches remaining. Next, hot glue the remaining three inch piece with the halo on the back of the head. Make sure it is on the top of its head and not somewhere else. In summation, hot glue the wings in the back so it hides the gold chenille going from the halo. This is how it should look when it is finished! Have fun!
