Upcycling Gift Wrap Rolls/ Tubes - Gift Wrap Roll or Tube Angel Craft

This angel in white is a total of 80 centimeters tall (including the halo) and a gorgous room decoration during the Christmas season.

 

 

Christmas Craft - Angel Decoration

For this project you will need:

Supplies Needed for the Angel
The basic idea was to create an angel using a gift wrap tube. The image here shows supplies that were initially chosen for this project. Not everything seen here was used and some items were added later as the project progressed.

- paper tube leftover from gift wrapping
- about 50 x 70 centimeters length of white felt for the body, arms and base (the length should be at least 70 to cover the entire
  length of the tube in one piece)
- about 40 x 210 centimeters of sheer fabric of choice for the draping over the body and arms (the fabric used here had
  snowflakes printed on it)
- 30 x 55 centimeters of white fabric for the skirt (the fabric used here was a satin like fabric that was left over from another
  project)
- 8 centimeter white polystyrene ball (styrofoam ball)
- white sparkly and iridescent yarn for the hair (the yarn used here was actually yarn intended for the scrubbies that are
  currently popular to knit and was a little stiffer, yet excellent for this purpose)
- soft and bendable aluminum wire for the arms and halo, 2 mm thick
- silver metallic chenille sticks (pipe cleaner sticks) for the halo
- a side of a cardboard box for the base and for the wings
- a small plate to trace the circle for the box base
- hot glue gun
- scissors
- ruler
- glitter paper

Before you begin:

 

 

First cut your felt and fabric into the following sizes: (The “13 centimeters” is based on the circumference of the tube used plus 1 centimeter overlap. If your tube is wider or narrower, adjust this width accordingly - Also the length of the tube used for this project was 70 centimeters. If your tube is longer or shorter, please change the length accordingly.)

13 x 70 centimeters of white felt for the body

40 x 140 centimeters of white sheer fabric for the draping

55 centimeters of bendable aluminum wire, 2 mm thick

18 x 56 centimeters of white felt for the arm (use template to cut it out)

40 x 62 centimeters of white sheer fabric for the arm draping

5 x 40 centimeters of white sheer fabric for the belt

5 x 40 centimeters of white sheer fabric for the bow

30 x 55 centimeters of white fabric for the skirt

5 x 13 centimeters of white felt for the base piece

Cut at least 45 pieces of 45 centimeter lengths of sparkly iridescent yarn for the hair (you can cut more for thicker hair if you like)
