Sometimes Christmas crafts just need to be as simple as possible, especially when small children are involved and that’s what I hope I’ve achieved with this simple toilet roll angel project.
What you need:
- Toilet roll
- White paint
- Cardboard – a cereal box is ideal
- Scissors
- Pipe cleaners – silver or gold ideally
- Glue
- Glitter – silver or gold, or glitter glue
- Sticky tape
- Pink or flesh coloured paper
- Felt tip pens
- Something round to draw round
Start off by painting the outside of your toilet roll white. You may need two coats of paint for this.
Draw a circle on your cardboard and cut it out. Then cut the circle in half and this will make wings for two angels.
Paint the wings white. Again, two coats may be necessary.
Once the wings are dry add glitter.
Take your pipe cleaner and form a circle at one end of it to be a halo. Leave a long trailing edge to attach it to the toilet roll.
Use sticky tape to attach the long pipe cleaner tail to the inside of your toilet roll so that it forms a halo above the angel.
On a piece of appropriately coloured paper draw and cut out an oval face shape. Draw on eyes, nose and mouth.
Stick the face onto the toilet roll, and once the glitter is dry attach the wings to the angel’s back.
Hey presto one toilet roll angel ready to go on top of your Christmas tree!
