Christmas souvenirs: Angel. With our hands create beauty

By the New Year and Christmas holidays people always make a lot of different crafts and souvenirs. And every year we are visited by more and more new ideas, which I want to translate into reality. However, many of them are not so new. One of them is a Christmas angel. With your own hands to create the image of an angel is quite simple, you just have to be patient and call on to help fantasy. But there are a lot of options for making a nice souvenir. Let's consider some of them.

Angels with their own hands: a master class

To make this angel, you will not need any complicated tools or materials. To make one (but usually do not stop on one instance, but do several at once), one should take:

• Cotton wool discs - 2 pcs .;

• scissors;

• Thread white;

• Needle.

We need scissors to cut the threads, which, by the way, will take quite a bit. You can thread the needle in advance.

Preparatory stage

So, the cotton disc is divided into two parts - you get two thin ones from one circle. To make an angel, we need three thin discs.

From the first we'll make wings. How? Yes, it's very simple: take the thread and tie the disc in the middle, tightening the knot.

From another wadded disk we'll make a dress. To do this, add it in the form of a cone.

And from the third circle we'll make the angel's head. To do this, put a small piece of cotton wool or napkins inside the disc. We will form the ball and draw the thread from below, making a few stitches.

Assembly

We collect the figure: we sew the head and wings to the calf. New Year or Christmas (as you like) the angel with his own hands is ready! You can also make a small garland of angels, attaching them with a thread, especially since this kind of crafts to produce is not difficult. Angels can be given not only for Christmas or New Year, but also for Angel Day, Valentine 's Day, or just for the sake of cheering up. And hang a garland of angels over the front door: let them guard your house from all evil spirits!

Christmas Angel. With our hands we are making a small miracle

We cut out of the foil three rectangles: 12x3cm, 8x3cm, 8x3cm. And another - a square 6x6 cm. These are blanks for the hands, feet, trunk and head of our crafts. The square rolls into a ball about one and a half cm in diameter. A strip of foil crumples along the entire length, rolls so that we get a wire two to three mm thick. From plasticine we make a small loaf 5 mm thick, we will stick it with a ball rolled from a square of foil. This will be the head of the angel (we will postpone it until it dries).

We will cut a napkin paper on long strips (in width - two sm). Wrap the wire from the foil with these strips overlap in two layers. Wrap the legs for legs in half; We connect knobs-legs with a trunk and we tighten strips from napkins. We will wrap the entire figure with threads to give it strength. In fact, such dolls, angels, created with their own hands from ordinary foil and napkins, resemble so popular in recent times, motorcycle dolls.

Go ahead. Take a napkin, fold it as to cut out snowflakes. Cut out patterns. Then straighten the napkin and wrap the doll - it will be a dress. Similarly, from the napkin make sleeves dress (you can pink). Fix them with a string. Turn the knobs. The outfit can be decorated with a colored ribbon.

Put our heads on the pin of wire. Draw the eyes, nose, mouth. Cut out wings from the napkin and attach them behind the back of the figure. If you want, make a halo of copper wire.

So our angel is ready. With his hands it turned out so easy!
