Instructions in 8 steps The same method as for the paper stars: a host of paper block-bottom bags, a pair of scissors and double-sided adhesive tape are all you need to create beautiful angel figurines. And this is how it works:
1

Step 1

Take the template to make patterns (angel and wings) out of sturdy cardboard. Place the angel pattern on the paper block-bottom bag (bottom side facing backwards) and trace its outline with a pencil.
2

Step 2

Cut out the angel shape with scissors. For the large angel, you'll need 15 cuttings from 15 paper block-bottom bags (1 cutting per bag) and for the small angel 12 cuttings from 6 paper block-bottom bags (2 cuttings per bag).
3

Step 3

Stick the double-sided adhesive tape along the long side of the 14 cuttings (large angel) and along the edge of the 11 cuttings (small angel).
4

Step 4

Then stick the cuttings together.
5

Step 5

To make the angel shine, use the paintbrush to spread a bit of glitter glue around its edges, then sprinkle some glitter dust over the still damp glue.

Important: each side should be splitted immediately after gluing, with e.g. a craft knife, to prevent them sticking together.

Step 6

To make the wings, place the pattern on a piece of gold paper or cardboard, trace their outlines and cut the wings out with scissors.
7

Step 7

Glue the wings to the rear side of the angel using the hot-melt glue gun.
8

Step 8

Fan out the angels' sides and tie the golden cord around their waists and necks.
