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 Kid 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! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Handprint Angel Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one paper plate makes four angels}
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Foam Paint Brushes
* Loose Craft Glitter
* Colored Cardstock {white being important}
* Pencil or Pen
* Colored Markers
* Glitter Pipe Cleaners
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
optional – embellishments like holiday stickers, small bows etc.

Directions:

* First have children cut their large paper plate into FOURS {first cut it in half, then those pieces in half again} This will make FOUR Christmas angels at once.
* Next is the painting of the dress – go wild as you paint your paper plate piece however you like!
* Add glitter on top of the wet paint for extra sparkle.
* While they are working on that, cut out circles for the heads of the angels.
* Decorate each 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 pieces, 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

Make It Your Own Today:

* 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.

Don’t you just LOVE this holiday themed craft idea? It’s so simple and you can four different angels with just ONE paper plate. Hello cheap! I say that’s a HUGE win if you are on a budget, especially this time of year!
