How to Make A Christmas Angel Ornament out of Wired Ribbon (A Kid’s Craft)
What’s your favourite craft to do with your Littles at Christmas time? Last year, we stumbled upon this really easy ribbon angel ornament craft, and I thought I’d share it with you all today. It’s so easy, and my girls loved it. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see 12 days of Christmas craft inspiration from December 1st through 12th from my blogging friends!
To make these ribbon Christmas angel ornaments, you’ll need:
- a roll of wired ribbon (I used 2″ wide ribbon)
- a stapler
- beads or gems for embellishment
- twine or string
- bells
- hot glue gun
Directions:
I first found this idea here on YouTube. Check out her video if you want to see a great video tutorial on how to make these.
First, cut your wired ribbon into a 14″ piece and a 10″ piece for each angel ornament.
Next, fold each piece accordion style (I folded in approximately 1″ increments). Staple the shorter pieces in the middle and fluff out each side to make wings. Staple the longer pieces at the top and fluff them out to make a skirt.
Glue the wings to the skirt as shown with a glue gun.
Finally, embellish your angel ornaments by gluing a bell on top of their wings with a glue gun, threading some string through it for hanging, and gluing a gem or bead at the center of the wings.
Ta-da! Your angel ornaments or finished and ready to hang on the tree or give to grandma and grandpa as a gift. These would also make pretty gift toppers, too!
