This idea for angel Christmas crafts is limited only by your imagination. You can follow the instructions below or improvise to create your own version of this angel Christmas crafts idea.

First, use the colored markers or pens to draw a face and hair on the round head of the clothes pin. Nest, wrap a long pipe cleaner around the middle of the clothes pin. Bend the ends of the pipe cleaner to create the angel's arms. Next, create a framework for the angel's wings using the pipe cleaner. Cover the frame with the gauzy fabric to make them look like wings. Next, drape a blue gauzy fabric around the angel's torso and arms to create a gown. Glue or sew it into place. Then, use a pipe cleaner to secure the angel's wings on to her back. The added benefit of the pipe cleaner is that it allows you to adjust the arms and wings in different positions. Finally, create a halo by gluing on a cardboard disc covered in gold foil.
