Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own ribbon angel ornaments: Materials: • 1-inch or 1.5-inch wide ribbon (for the angel’s body) • ¼-inch ribbon (for the angel’s arms and bow) • Wooden bead (for the head) • Small silver or gold pipe cleaner or wire (for the halo) • Hot glue gun and glue sticks • Scissors • Thin wire or thread (optional, for hanging) Instructions: Step 1: Create the Angel’s Body 1. Cut the ribbon: Cut a piece of wide ribbon (1-inch or 1.5-inch) about 8–10 inches long. This will be the angel’s body. 2. Fold the ribbon: Accordion-fold the wide ribbon lengthwise to create pleats. Hold it together at the middle after folding. 3. Secure the middle: Using thin wire or a small piece of thread, tie the middle tightly to hold the pleats in place. This will create the body shape of the angel. Step 2: Create the Angel’s Wings 1. Cut another piece of ribbon: Take another piece of wide ribbon, about 5–7 inches long. Accordion-fold this ribbon too, just like the body. 2. Attach the wings: Place this folded ribbon behind the body and tie it in the center using the same wire or thread. The pleated wings should fan out behind the body. Step 3: Attach the Head 1. Add the wooden bead: Thread the wooden bead onto the wire or thread that is securing the body. This bead will act as the angel’s head. 2. Secure with glue: If needed, apply a small dot of hot glue to hold the bead in place. Step 4: Make the Halo 1. Shape the halo: Take a small piece of silver or gold pipe cleaner and shape it into a small circle. Leave a little extra length on the pipe cleaner to attach to the back of the angel’s head. 2. Attach the halo: Use hot glue to secure the halo to the back of the wooden bead. Step 5: Add the Arms and Bow 1. Create the arms: Cut a small piece of ¼-inch ribbon (about 4–5 inches long). Tie this ribbon in a small bow shape. 2. Attach the arms: Glue this bow to the front of the angel’s body just below the head, so it looks like the angel’s arms or a decorative bow. Step 6: Hang the Ornament 1. Add a loop for hanging: If you want to hang the angel on your tree, you can add a small loop of thread or wire to the top of the head or the back of the wings. 2. Final touches: Trim any excess ribbon and adjust the shape of the wings and body to your liking. Your ribbon angel ornament is ready to be hung on your Christmas tree or given as a gift!
