Materials

  • 3 white coffee filters (size 8–12 cup)
  • 1 wooden bead (1 inch, for the head)
  • Twine or jute string (about 12 inches long)
  • Small piece of gold ribbon or metallic marker (for edging)
  • Hot glue gun or tacky glue
  • Scissors
  • Mini embellishment or charm (optional)

Instructions

  • Flatten two coffee filters and layer them together. Fold them slightly to form a flared cone shape for the angel’s dress. Secure the top with a dab of glue.
  • Take the third coffee filter and fold it in half, then again, to make small wings. Then glue this piece to the back of the dress.
  • Thread the twine through the wooden bead and tie a knot on top to form a hanging loop. This will be your angel’s head and halo.
  • Glue the bead on top of the dress. You can add a few strands of twine or yarn for hair, curling them slightly for softness.
  • Brush gold trim or glitter along the edges of the filters for a gentle shimmer.
  • Add a tiny charm or ribbon bow at the front for a finishing touch, and hang your angel on the tree. It brings a handmade warmth that feels both classic and full of holiday spirit.
