Once your “A” is for Angel ornaments are complete, admire them as they bring festive joy to your Christmas tree. These ornaments also make thoughtful gifts for loved ones, bringing a handcrafted touch to the holiday season.

Craft Supplies:

Before you begin, gather these simple supplies, many of which you can find at your local craft store or dollar store (or perhaps already have at home):

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {2 per craft}
  • Mini Popsicle Sticks {1 per craft}
  • Low Temp Hot Glue Gun {adult supervision}
  • School Glue
  • Loose Gold Craft Glitter
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Skin-Tone Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Markers
  • Gold Pipe Cleaner

Directions:

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own angel ornaments. Kids can work alongside adults to ensure safety with scissors and glue guns.

  • First things first – glue your popsicle sticks together to look like an “A.” Two jumbo popsicle sticks on the outside and the mini in the center to create the letter shape {this step can be pre-done if working with a large group on a time crunch!}
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now it’s time for the handprint angel wings. Grab your white cardstock paper, along with a drawing utensil and scissors.
  • Trace around both of your hands on the paper.
  • Cut both handprint designs out and discard excess paper.
  • At this point in time you should also trim out a small circle shape, from the remaining piece of skin-tone colored cardstock paper, for the angel’s head. Decorate it with markers to bring it to life.
  • Next up – adding some sparkle to your design. Grab your popsicle stick “A” shape, along with the school glue and loose craft glitter.
  • Draw lines of glue on the popsicle stick shape and sprinkle glitter on top.
  • Shake off excess glitter.
  • To finish off your Popsicle Stick Angel – you are going to hot glue the handprint wings to the back of the decorated piece and the head shape to the front.
  • Finally, cut a gold pipe cleaner in half and pull one of the pieces aside for your craft. Bend it to make a halo shape. Hot glue it to the angel’s head {this will also make it easy to hang it on the tree as an ornament.}
  • Then let it all sit aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

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!
