Foam Cup Christmas Angel Craft
Creating a Foam Cup Christmas Angel Craft is a delightful way to add some festive cheer to your holiday decorations! To make this adorable craft, grab some foam cups, glitter, feathers, and markers (and don't forget the hot glue gun). Start by cutting a foam cup in half to create the angel's body. Then, decorate the cup with glitter and draw a sweet face on it. Next, use feathers to make angel wings, and attach them to the back of the cup. Finally, add a halo on the angel's head and voila, your charming Foam Cup Christmas Angel is ready to bring joy to your home this holiday season!
Supplies you will need:
- small foam cup
- 8-inch circle doily
- manila folder
- 2-inch circle punch (optional)
- gold shimmer stick
- black marker
- tacky glue
- tape
- scissors
Directions:
1. Start by making a circle loop at the end of your gold shimmer stick. Twist the end of the loop around the rest of the shimmer stick to secure the loop and make an angel halo. Poke a small hole in the center of the bottom of your foam cup and poke your halo down inside it. Use a strip of tape to secure the halo in place inside the foam cup if needed.
2. Fold your round doily in half. Open it back up, add a line of glue down the center and close it back up so it’s glued shut. Fold back the two ends of the doily half, making angel wings. Add tacky glue to the center section of the doily and glue it to the back of your foam cup. The folded sections should hang off the side of the cup acting as wings for your angel.
3. Use your 2-inch circle punch to cut out a circle out of your manila folder. Use your black marker to draw eyes and a mouth on your circle. Either use tape or tacky glue to attach the angel face onto the front of the foam cup.
It is such a simple, pretty decoration to display for Christmas. We kept our angel simple by not added hair, but you could easily draw hair on with a marker, or glue yarn around the face for hair.
