This coffee filter angel craft is very easy to make, yet it
looks very impressive. This craft is easy enough for most children to
make, all by themselves. She will look very elegant hanging as an
ornament on your Christmas tree. These are hot sellers at craft fairs,
and they are inexpensive to make. The Styrofoam cones and balls, and
the gold rings, are usually sold in multi-packs. This makes it cheaper
to make several angels than just one, perfect for Sunday school
projects. This angel would make a wonderful gift! If you would like to

1. Begin
your coffee filter angel craft by placing a coffee filter over the
Styrofoam cone. Then, place a toothpick through the top of the coffee
filter, pushing it at least half way into the cone to hold it in place
2. Next, pierce the Styrofoam ball through the toothpick to hold it in
place.
3. Place another coffee filter over the ball. Cut a strip of gold
ribbon and tie it tightly around the bottom of the ball, to define the
head of the angel. Tie the gold ribbon in a nice bow (thin wire-edge
ribbon is great for this).
4. To make the wings, take the third coffee filter and fold it in half
lengthwise. Next, gather and pleat the coffee filter in the middle, as
shown. Then tie the middle area together with a small piece of white
thread. Then, hot glue the middle of the wings to the back of the
angel, right below her head (adults should do the gluing). Or, the
wings could also be pinned using a straight pin, piercing the wings
into the Styrofoam cone.
5. Glue the gold ring on top of the angel’s head. The angel
can just stand alone or a ribbon or thread could be added to her back
for hanging on the Christmas tree.
