• Allow glue to cool completely

Step 2: Paint the Triangle White

• Basecoat the entire craft stick triangle with white acrylic craft paint
• Let dry completely
• Apply a second coat if necessary for full coverage

Step 3: Trace and Cut Angel Triangle Body Pattern

• Download, print, and cut out the triangle angel pattern from white cardstock
• The pattern should fit the triangle craft stick shape

Step 4: Attach Cardstock to Triangle

• Apply glue to the back of the white cardstock angel body
• Position it on the back of the craft stick triangle

• This creates a solid white angel body

Step 5: Create and Paint the Arms

Step 6: Prepare Flesh Tone Cardstock

Step 7: Trace Head, Hair, and Wing Patterns

Step 8: Cut Out All Patterns

• Attach the brown hair piece to the back of the head using hot glue

• Dip a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint
• Stamp the eraser on either side of the face to create rosy cheeks
• Allow paint to dry

Step 10: Create the Gold Tinsel Halo

• Bend a gold tinsel chenille stem in half
• Form the top into a circle shape about 1 inch in diameter
• Leave a 1-inch tail at the bottom
