The angel is one of the most common holiday symbols that is used in the design of postcards, Christmas trees, and simply to decorate the interior. If you do not want to buy a replicated image on typical souvenirs, do it yourself. You can create several different copies using only scissors, pencils and paper.
Instructions
Step 1
On white watercolor paper, draw an isosceles triangle with a base of 5 cm and a height of 7 cm. On beige pastel paper, use a compass to draw a circle with a diameter of 3.5 cm. Make two blanks for wings in the form of white petals. Cut out all the details.
Step 2
Glue a circle to the top of the triangle. Draw curls of hair on it with gouache or a golden gel pen. Use a thin brush to paint eye points and a smile. Make an oval out of thin wire, and glue the lower end of the wire to the seamy side of the figure. Glue wings to the back, and along the edge of the angel's dress, draw a pattern of snowflakes or glue sequins. This toy can be hung on a Christmas tree.
Step 3
Use colored cardboard to make a stable figurine. Draw a triangle on it with a base of 8 cm and a height of 7 cm. Cut it out, apply a strip of glue to the side. Connect the sides of the triangle to form a cone. Hold the cardboard until the glue dries. Glue the circle for the angel's face to the top of the cone, which must first be cut with a clerical knife. Roll thin strips of yellow paper around the pencil. Glue the resulting curls to the angel's head. Make a halo, as in the previous case, out of wire. Insert the wings into the slots on the back.
Step 4
You can make a garland of any length from angel figurines. Take a strip of paper 10 cm high. Its length will correspond to the length of the garland. Fold the strip into an accordion, each segment of which is a 10 x 7 cm rectangle. Using a pencil, draw an image of an angel. The folds on the sides of the rectangle should touch the wings or arms of the angel. Cut out the figurine, leaving these folds intact. They will connect the angels into a single chain.
Step 5
A more complex image of an angel will turn out in a papercutting painting. Draw the silhouette on saturated paper. The material should be no thinner than the printer paper. Cut out the image with a stationery cutter. Place its blade perpendicular to the table surface and easily, without pressing, draw along each line. Place paper in a contrasting color under the silhouette sheet. Such a picture can be framed and hung on the wall.
