And also be sure to study to find out how to make an angel from a ribbon with your own hands, a master class prepared by our experienced craftswoman.

How to make a Christmas angel from ribbon with your own hands
For making an angel, a rigid decorative ribbon with wire is best suited; you can also take a ribbon from any dense material - nylon, satin, brocade.
And from satin ribbons and beads can be made.
We measure and cut two strips from the selected ribbon, one - 20 cm, the other - 15 cm.
We fold them like an accordion - small and large.
Now we take a large accordion and cut off the wire from one edge (we don’t throw away the cut strip, we will need it later) and secure it with thread. This is our ribbon Christmas angel skirt.
Now we take a small accordion and make a few stitches exactly in the middle - we get angel wings.
The most interesting thing remains - to assemble our little angel. For this we need a glue gun.
We take the skirt, squeeze a drop of glue onto the top and press the central part of our wings.
Squeeze out another drop of glue and glue the bead - you get the head of a Christmas angel from ribbon.
Now we take a strip of ribbon with wire that we cut from the skirt, straighten it, fold it in half - we get a loop on which our angel will hang.
A drop of glue and you're done. Work with glue carefully so as not to spoil your new craft.
Now we choose a decoration for our Christmas angel from ribbons - these can be rhinestones, snowflakes, flowers, beads and half-beads.
Glue the rhinestone to the junction of the skirt and wings.
Now you can admire how beautiful our DIY ribbon angel is, the master class is over. And using a 3 cm wide ribbon, you can make very small angels that will become exclusive Christmas tree decorations.
We also advise you to study our sewing master class
The angel can be sewn from felt or any other fabric, it can be made from paper, it can be woven from beads or even such an unusual material as corn leaves. There can be many creative approaches to creating an angel with your own hands.
Felt angel
We will need:
- Felt scraps of different colors (white, beige, purple, blue and yellow);
- Needle and thread;
- French pins;
- Scissors;
- Tape edging;
- Sequins;
- Black beads for eyes.
Cut out all the parts from felt according to the template. The color of each part can be easily determined from the photo. Then take a rectangular piece of blue felt and sequentially fasten it on it and sew all the details with a neat seam. First come the wings made of white fabric, then the body (dress), head and hair.
You can choose any color of fabric for the dress, just as the hair can be made of black, yellow or brown felt. It will turn out very beautiful if you decorate the dress and wings with snowflakes or sequins embroidered in silver lurex. The eyes can also be embroidered with black thread or made from black beads.
This handmade felt angel will be a wonderful decoration for the New Year tree.
Fabric angel
Materials:
- Multi-colored fabrics (preferably thick satin or brocade);
- Scissors;
- Sewing accessories (needle, thread, pins);
- Ribbons, braid, lace;
- Thin wire;
- Beads, sparkles, sequins.
First of all, you need to make a head out of small ball for ping pong or sew it yourself from flesh-colored fabric. Attach yarn hair to your head and embroider eyes.
Then you need to sew a dress, decorating it with small decorative elements. Use wire to form a frame for the wings and cover it with fabric. Now fasten all the parts and tie a thin satin ribbon around the angel’s neck. You can also sew pens and heart-shaped gifts for the angels.
Knitted angel
We need:
- Fine yarn;
- Cotton wool or padding polyester;
- Hook No. 1-1.5;
- PVA glue;
- Food film;
- Scissors;
- Plasticine;
- Pins.
First we knit all the details of the angel: dress, arms, head, wings. At the same time, we fill the head with filler - padding polyester or cotton wool. In order for the knitted products to keep their shape, it is necessary to soak them in PVA glue and fix each part with pins and plasticine. To do this, we form a body from plasticine and put a knitted part on it, having previously wrapped the plasticine with cling film so as not to stain the product.
When the lace products have dried, you need to carefully sew all the parts together and tie a decorative thread to the back of the angel.
Beaded angel
We will need:
- Beads of different colors;
- Large bead;
- Thin wire.
It’s very easy to do this with your own hands. Surely each of us has the skill of beading. By stringing beads onto wire, you can model the product yourself. A large bead is used as the head.
Shell angel
To make such a cute and beautiful decoration for the Christmas tree with your own hands, you will need shells (1 large for the body and 2 small for the wings), a bead for the head, gold beads for the halo and gold decorative thread.
All parts can be connected to each other using hot melt glue and thin nylon thread.
Corn Leaf Angels
This angel is probably the most unusual and gentle of all. Who would have thought that this beauty could be created from such material as corn leaves.
The inner leaves of the corn cob are used to make the angel. To make the leaves soft and elastic, you need to wrap them in a wet towel for a couple of hours. After this, the material is very pleasant to work with - it is easy to model and tie.
