Step 2: Trace the template

Place the template pieces on the appropriate colored construction paper and trace around them with a pencil.

Use pink paper for the dress, white paper for the wings, brown paper for the hair and shoes, yellow paper for the halo, and cream paper for the face and arms.

Step 3: Cut out the pieces

Carefully cut out all the traced shapes using scissors.

Make sure to follow the outlines neatly so that each piece is ready to be assembled into your angel.

Step 4: Attach the face and draw the features

Take the pink paper dress and glue the face onto the top portion of the dress.

Once it is securely attached, use a black marker to draw two eyes and a sweet little smile on the angel’s face.

Step 5: Add the hair, halo and arms

Glue the brown paper hair onto the angel’s head, arranging it neatly around the face.

Attach the yellow paper halo above the head.

Next, take the cut-out arms and glue them across the front of the dress in a crossed position, as shown above.

Step 6: Attach the shoes and wings

Glue the brown paper shoes to the bottom of the dress. Then, take the two white paper wings and attach them behind the angel’s body, one on each side. Arrange the wings evenly so they spread out beautifully behind the angel.

Your beautiful paper angel is ready!
