Angels are so pretty for the holidays
And this simple angel design is one of my favorites
Pink dot cheeks are optional 😊
This fun little craft will add some love to your holiday gifts
Step 1
Paint a large dot for the face
Mix white with a little yellow and a little pink for a pretty peachy color, or use brown for darker skin tones
Step 2
Starting just below the face make a stroke down and curved to the left at the bottom, using a fat round brush
Then do a stroke on the right side starting at the top again, making the stroke curve down and finish towards the right side
I used a little yellow mixed with white so the strokes would be more visible on this practice sheet of white paper
Step 3
Fill in the center with one or two more strokes, leaving the bottom uneven
creating the illusion of a flowing gown
Step 4
Add wings with gold paint, in the same manner, ending the stroke about 2/3 of the way down, keeping the wings shorter that the gown
Step 5
Repeat on the other side and add a halo with the same fat brush with a quick short stroke above the head
That creates the halo look, the center of the brush stroke pushes the paint to the top and bottom, creating the look of a halo
You can also use a gold sharpie or paint pen to add details
These gold pens are handy, but the color is not as pretty as gold paint
My gold paint is fairly transparent, so I added some additional layers
The darker dots on the bottom are with Sharpie and the lighter dots are with paint
for these small tags I just added the halo with a short thin stroke
Be Fearless!
and Believe!
Juicy Details
You can find blank gift tags/craft stores, Walmart, Target
I used acrylic enamel gloss craft paint, be sure to use paint specifically made for glass if you are going to wash what you paint
