Things You'll Need

• 3 white basket-type coffee filters
• 1-inch polystyrene ball
• 3.5-inch polystyrene cone
• Toothpick
• Gold-color metal ring
• White thread
• Gold ribbon
• Hot glue gun

Instructions

1. Place the cone on a flat surface and put an upside-down filter over the cone.

2. Stick the toothpick through the filter and the cone and leave about half of it sticking up.

3. Place the polystyrene ball on top of the toothpick that is sticking up.

4. Lay another coffee filter upside down on top of the ball and tie the ribbon around the bottom of the ball to make it look like the angel's head.

5. Fold the third filter in half and gather the center part together. Tie a piece of thread around it, and hot-glue it to the back of your angel. This filter will form the angel's wings.

6. Hot-glue the gold ring to the top of the ball to create a halo. Hang the angel on the tree using a piece of white thread.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a gold pipe cleaner to make a halo if you don't have a gold ring.
