Paper Plate Handprint Angel For Christmas - Kid Craft

With the holiday season about to knock on our front doors, today I’m sharing another kid friendly art project idea that is SUPER simple for kids of all ages, to pull together to celebrate this precious moment in time! My favorite aspect of this paper craft idea is the handprint wing cutouts on the back, for that special one-of-a-kind touch!

This latest and greatest Paper Plate Angel craft idea has a wholesome holiday theme to it, as well as being a great keepsake idea to display on your decked-out tree, year after year if you add some string to the back for hanging. Sounds super fun – right?!

So now let’s grab our craft supplies and get to the step-by-step paper plate Christmas angel tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s angels made from a paper plate, on our Facebook page to admire! I just LOVE seeing those images on our wall, especially during this lovely season!

Paper Plate Handprint Angel For Christmas

This easy Christmas craft is perfect for kids! They will love making these adorable angels with their handprints. Deck the halls with these sweet little angels this holiday season!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
  • Scissors
  • Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Colored Markers
  • Glitter Pipe Cleaners – 1 per craft
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First have children cut their large paper plate into a TRIANGLE shape. This is now the body of the angel. Discard the excess pieces.
  • Next is the painting of the dress – go wild as you paint your paper plate piece however you like!
  • If desired – add loose craft glitter/or glitter glue on top of the wet paint for extra sparkle.
  • While they are working on that, cut out a large circle for the head of the angel.
  • Decorate the head cutout with markers and other embellishments.
  • Next is the handprint wings. Trace/trim out your child’s handprints on the white cardstock {you will need two PER angel}
  • Now you are ready to pull it all together! Staple on the cardstock elements in place on the paper plate piece, along with the pipe cleaner halo on top of everything.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit on your Handprint Angel, before displaying your angels proudly!!!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper plate angel on our your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Customize It:

  • Don’t have paint to paint the paper plate? Colorful tissue paper cut into small squares and then glued to the paper plate with school glue, would be a good alternative to this craft {and possibly even more fun because you can make a marbled Christmas dress look for your angel, instead!}
  • For added sparkle and color on this craft – instead of plain white cardstock for the angel wings, opt for some sparkly scrapbook paper instead! I personally LOVE this brand on Amazon.
  • Don’t have sparkly pipe cleaners on hand? You can always hand-cut a halo from paper instead.

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
