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!!!
