Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1-liter plastic pop bottle
• String
• White craft glue
• Wax paper
• Pencil
• Small gold bulb
• Gold tinsel
• Gold glitter

1. Cut off the bottom of a 1-liter plastic pop bottle. Mix white craft glue and water to form a mixture with the consistency of cream.

2. Dip long pieces of string into the glue, and wrap each string around the bottle. Overlap all strings until the entire bottle is covered.

3. Put a large piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Draw 2 angel wings on each sheet with a pencil. Dip 2 long pieces of string in the glue and lay them along the wing drawings.

4. Fill in each wing by dipping string pieces into the glue and placing them inside the wing template. Overlap them until the string covers the entire wing. Layer or coil the string until it covers the area.

5. Sprinkle gold glitter over the whole body and wings before the glue dries. Shake excess glitter off. After they dry, glue the wings to the body.

6. Use a small gold Christmas tree bulb ornament for the head. Glue it to the angel's neck. Add gold tinsel to the top the bulb to make a halo.
