Wood Spoon Angel Crafts
Wood spoon angel crafts are simple to make and can be used as decorations or gifts. They can be festive for a season, as or simply just angelic representations. The top, round part of the wood spoon is used for the face of the angel, and the long shaft of the spoon supports the gown that the angel wears. A halo is often attached above the spoon angels head with a wire or toothpick.

Home Angels
-
Wood spoon angels can be made to watch over the home. These can provide year-round decoration, so when you are crafting them think about how simple or intricate you want to make them since they will be ever-present in a home. The spoon angels can be simple with no facial expression, or they can be more expressive and creative with hair, a face and glitter or ribbons.
Christmas Angels
-
Angels are often affiliated with Christmas, so wood spoon angels crafts may be a good project to do with your family or friends during a Christmas season get-together. The Christmas wood spoon angels can be placed on top of Christmas trees, or even made into angels that rest against windows or hang from door frames. Christmas wood spoon angels can also have tinsel wrapped around them, or colored ribbons of gold, red and green to make them more festive for the season.

Gift Angels
-
Wooden spoon angels can be made as gifts for the holiday season or for any time of year. Angels do not always have to be affiliated with religion, but guidance, so giving wooden spoon angels as gifts can be a way to tell others that they are being looked after. The thick part of the wooden spoon can contain the name of the person you are giving it to, or it can hold a message that you wish to pass on. Write on the spoon with a puff paint pen or a colored, fine-tipped permanent marker.
Sports Angels
-
You can make wood spoon angel crafts to provide good luck charms for sports teams. They can be brought out before games to "look out for" favoring teams or players. You can wrap team-colored ribbon around the neck of the spoon, and even put a jersey around the spoon angel, or a helmet or cap on top of the angel or inside of its halo.
