Add a touch of handmade charm to your Christmas tree this year with this Cupcake Liner Angel Craft! We love upcycling everyday household items like toilet paper rolls and cupcake liners into something beautiful. Whether you’re making a dandelion, a dinosaur, or even Princess Leia, these liners are incredibly versatile!
This eco-friendly craft is perfect for kids and allows for endless creativity in how your angel looks.
Supplies Required
- Cupcake liners (white, silver, or patterned)
- Craft paper in various skin tones and hair colors
- Golden or shiny paper (for the halo)
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- Sharpies (Black and Pink)
Prepare the Template: Trace the face, hair, and halo parts onto your chosen craft paper and cut them out.
Fun Tip: Experiment with different paper colors to create angels of various ethnicities! For this version, we used light brown for the face and dark brown for the hair.
- Assemble the Hair: Stick the hairpiece onto the top of the face. Apply glue so the ends of the hair can be tucked neatly behind the head.
- Add the Halo: Attach your golden or shiny paper strip to the top of the head, aligning the edges. If you don’t have metallic paper, bright yellow works perfectly too!
- Draw the Face: Use a black Sharpie to draw the eyes, nose, and a smile. Use a pink Sharpie to add some rosy cheeks to give your angel a friendly glow.
- Finish with the Liner: Fold your cupcake liner into a triangle shape to create the “gown” and glue the head assembly to the top.
