Another version of the Woven Paper Angel

This angel uses the same pattern and the same technique as illustrated in our Woven Paper Angel project. The only real difference is the size and the materials used.

The pattern was reduced when printed such that the circle was four and a half inches in diameter. From there, the steps remain the same.

The background paper is white, matte photo paper. Strips of gold wrapping paper make the angel’s wings, halo and horn. Cream colored presentation paper was used for the face and hand. Strips of white dotted pink paper make the angel’s robe. Two pieces of pink yarn form the hanger for the angel.

Though not necessary, tweezers are very helpful when weaving the strips of paper back and forth through the white background.

In particular, this bent end tool helps when weaving the strips.

Enjoy making the larger version or reduce the pattern to make a smaller angel.

Paper Angel – Woven

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!
