The most favorite holidays of most people on our planet are Christmas and New Year. For these festive days begin to prepare in a month. They think over the holiday menu, buy elegant clothes and, of course, decorate their home. Today we will talk about jewelry, which is easy to do with our own hands. The Christmas angel is a symbol and a messenger of the holiday, and today we will produce its shape in various ways.
Self-hardening clay toy
Not everyone can make a Christmas angel from ceramics. Therefore, ordinary clay can be replaced by self-hardening, plastic or salt dough.
Figurines of angels made of such materials will be able to decorate a Christmas tree, a refrigerator, and will also become pleasant presentations for relatives. How to make a cute toy?
Christmas angel: a workshop on manufacturing . First you need to roll out our material. But do not work hard in this activity, the thickness of our clay should be at least half a centimeter. Now cut out the details. The head and halo are 2 circles, the body has the shape of a bell, the wings are an oval with a zigzag on one side, and we will not forget to make a heart.
When all the blanks are cut, glue them with water. And while our angel is not dry, we will miss the pattern in it, but we will paint it after drying. We put our figure in a secluded place and leave it for 24 hours. After this time, we get an angel and paint over some details. As paints we use special pigments for ceramics or ordinary gouache, which was previously mixed with PVA.
Ice Cream Sticks Angel
Sometimes material for creativity can be very unusual things, for example, ice cream sticks. How to assemble a Christmas angel from them? To make the figure, we need 4 large and two small sticks, as well as plasticine.
We pre-paint 3 large blanks in white, and break small ones into two parts. The tip of the small stick on ¼ part is painted over with body paint, and the rest is white. From one big stick we cut out a star. This is convenient to do with a clerical knife. We paint it in gold. We also draw brilliant color in half circles on two sticks that have already been in body paint.
From clay we sculpt the head of an angel and wings. If desired, you can make a halo from tinsel. It remains to assemble all the parts. Let's start with the body. Glue the white sticks together. Then glue the handles, legs and star. Then we attach the head and wings. Our figure is ready. You can attach a bead and a rope to it.
Rag angel
Even a child can make such a figure. How to make a Christmas angel from fabric? We begin with the manufacture of the body and head. Take a small square of canvas and a small piece of padding polyester. We put the stuffing on the fabric and fold the canvas so that the synthetic winterizer is in its center. We give this stuffed sections the shape of a circle and tie it with a thread. The body and head of an angel are ready.
To make hands, we need to cut two small circles. In turn, we sew each of them with the needle seam forward, we stuff it with a padding polyester, tighten it and sew it to the body. The wings will be made of a rectangular piece of fabric. Just pull it with a thread in the middle to make a bow, and sew it to the back of an angel.
It remains to add toy details. Cut a small red heart and glue it on an impromptu shirt. From straws we make a small ring that will serve as a halo.
Paper Napkin Angel
This simple figurine can be made even by children. To make a Christmas angel out of paper, we need a beautiful napkin. More precisely, half of it. We make a fan out of it. Put the paper towel cut right. And we begin to bend it. 1 cm was turned away, the napkin was turned upside down and 1 cm was bent. With such an accordion we add up all our paper canvas.
Then, when this process is completed, we turn the napkin so that its cut looks up. We bend the upper parts slightly, you can even trim them so that they do not seek to return to the “body”. Glue a large bead to the center, and a small bow under it. From beads you can weave an angel halo. To hang a figurine on a Christmas tree, glue a golden thread to the crown.
Bump angel
Many natural figures can be made from natural materials, for example, a Christmas angel. To make a figurine, we need a bump, white or gold paint, ribbon, moss or thread, a large wooden bead and braid.
Getting to the creative process. We paint a bump in white or gold paint. You can give color not to the whole body of a future angel, but only to its "outer clothing". Glue a large bead to the tail of the cone. How to understand where the tail was? Relatively speaking, this is the place with which it was attached to the tree.
We glue moss or thread to a wooden bead, thereby creating a curly hairstyle. From the braid we form a halo. Draw the eyes of an angel. It looks very cute when they are closed. It seems that the angel is sleeping. It remains to make our figure wings. To do this, we tie a bow from the ribbon. Glue it to the back. Our figure is ready.
Paper angel
One of the most popular varieties of toys for decorating a house or apartment are handmade figures. And what is the easiest way to make an angel from? Of course, out of paper.
The pattern of the Christmas angel is given above, it is through it that we will make our toy. To make it, you need to redraw or print the above contour. Choose one of two options, the one that you like best. It is necessary to cut a minimum of 4 patterns, and preferably 6-8.
When the paper angels are ready, it remains to glue them. We bend the figures in the center, and glue to each other. The more patterns you had, the more voluminous the angel will turn out.
