Craft Supplies:
- White paper (for the handprint)

- Scissors
- Optional: Colored paper for background (light blue, purple, green, etc.)
Directions:
-
Create the Angel’s Body:
- Trace your hand (or your child’s hand) on a sheet of white paper and cut it out. This will form the angel’s body.
- Decorate the handprint with glitter or sequins, focusing on the fingers and palm for a sparkly effect.
-
Make the Angel’s Head:
- Cut a small circle from the light tan or cream-colored paper for the angel’s head.
- Use markers to draw the face: closed eyes with lashes, a gentle smile, and red lines for hair.
-
Attach the Wings:
- Take two coffee filters and fold or gather them to create a ruffled, feathery texture.
- Glue the coffee filters behind the handprint body, positioning them as wings.
-
Assemble the Angel:
- Glue the head onto the top of the handprint body.
- Ensure the wings are securely attached and adjust as needed.
- For a festive backdrop, glue your angel onto a light blue piece of paper.
- Draw a thin, black oval or loop above the angel’s head to create a halo.
- If desired, right a sweet saying around the finished piece – “Hold onto this angel with a touch of magic.”
- Allow your angel piece to dry completely before displaying proudly!
