DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids
Plastic Spoon
Angel Craft
Contributed by
This is appropriate for ages 3+. Though younger children can decorate the triangle.
Materials you will need for the spoon angel are
- a plastic spoon
- a triangle of construction paper about the same height as the spoon
- some markers, glitter glue, sparkles or sequins (we used glitter glue)
- some scraps of wool
- a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 white paper
- tape
- glue
- OPTIONAL: wiggly eyes eyes

Instructions
- Cut a triangle out of the construction paper (older children can do this themselves.
- Decorate the triangle however you wish (we used glitter glue, but you could use markers, bits of lace, sequins and/or sparkles.)
- Tasha (age 6) and Kaitlyn (age 3) both enjoyed this part!
- set aside your triangle to dry.
take a black marker and draw on a face. Younger children will prefer to glue on wiggly eyes instead of drawing the face.
- take 3 or 4 strands of wool (you can tie bows or braid the hair... you can make it long or short. Let the kids decide on the hair style).
- Put a knot in the top middle of the hair (so it's all tied together)
and glue the knot to the top of the spoon.
- We just used ordinary children's white glue to do this and it worked fine...
- though I did have to beg my 3 year old not to play with it like a puppet until it dried!
- Set the spoon aside (carefully) to dry.
- Take the white sheet of paper and cut it in half so you have two 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 pieces of paper (the measurements don't have to be exact. Discard one of the pieces (or use it for your next angel)
Put the paper in front of you so the 8 1/2 inch side is facing you.
- fan fold the 8 1/2 inch side. To fan fold:
- fold about 3/4 inch
- flip paper over
- fold about 3/4 inch
- continue until it's all folded like a fan.
- Put a piece of tape around the center of the fan to make wings.
- Tape the spoon to the back of the triangle paper.
- Tape the fan wings to the back of the spoon. Tasha trimmed her wings down a bit as she thought they were too big. Kaitlyn left hers as they were.
- Tape works better than glue (or at least it did for us)
- Add a small piece of wool or ribbon (tape it onto the top) so you can hang her on your tree. Or you can pin her to a bulletin board or glue her to the front of a homemade Christmas Card.
