Just posted, our Woven Paper Angel uses simple materials and tools along with a basic basket weave technique to finish a pretty angel.
This angel uses our simple pattern and scrap paper cut into strips then woven into a heavier paper (such as a paper grocery bag). The hardest part of the project is the patience required to keep the strips of paper straight. (Don’t load up on caffeine before starting this!)
Forget about perfection and just have fun, the angel will finish beautifully.
The project can easily be translated into a group project with both adults and children. The adults can cut the paper and supervise the children’s weaving of the strips into the angel design.
Whether done by one or many, the finished product provides a simple, inexpensive and fun angel to decorate your home, to give as gifts or to accent wrapped packages.
Have fun!
