After the success of my Paper Plate Owl, I thought to myself “How can I make a similar craft for Christmas?” I realized that two things may crafts for kids very popular:
- Paper Plates
- Handprints
This craft includes both! Here are the steps to make a Paper Plate Angel.
Materials:
- a white paper plate
- scraps of construction paper
- glue
- markers, crayons, or paints
Directions:
Step one: Color a paper plate in whatever color you choose. This will be the angel’s body.
Step two: Fold down the right and left sides of the plates. This will make the angel’s gown.
Step 3: Cut a circle out of paper and draw the angel’s face. Glue this to the top of the plate.
Step four: Trace your child’s hands on to paper, and cut them out. Glue the hands to the back of your angel, and it’s finished!
What is your child’s favorite holiday craft?

I cut the bottom flat so it can be free standing.
