Table Angels

These pretty table angels are made from inexpensive paper plates - the uncoated ones available in supermarkets for around $2 for a pack of twenty.

They take only minutes to make and are incredibly popular. Make some for your Christmas table and share the idea with friends, they really are fun and so easy to do.

You will need:

White paper plates
Pencil
Scissors
Craft punch (optional – available from craft and art stores)
Gift ribbon decoration

How to:

1. First you will need to down load the template and print it out. Rub over the back of the design firmly using a lead pencil. Then turn this over and place it onto the paper plate and draw around the outline to transfer the image

2. Using sharp scissors, or a craft knife if you prefer, cut out all of the shaded areas, including the two lines on either side. If you have a craft punch, go around the rim of the plate

3. Push the plate from the back to create a skirt, than slip the two lines together to form wings

4. You can leave your angels plain, add a name tag or decorate like mine with a stick on gift ribbon
