Doily Angels Doily angels can be Christmas tree decorations, or like this one, a beautiful Christmas tree topper. Materials: White paper doilies - for the full angel you'll need two: 4" and 6" diameter.  Rubber band  Gold glitter  Craft/white glue  Paper plate(s) Make a cut in the paper plates, from edge to center. Overlap the edges to make two cones, securing the edges with a stapler. Place a cotton ball in the center of the doily. Wrap a rubber band around the doily to secure the cotton ball for the angel's head. Drape the doily over the paper cone. Pull the back of the angel's skirt together (you can hold it in place with a paper clip if you need to). Fold the rest of the doily down so that you have two wings spread out at the sides. To make the bottom skirt: Drape the doily over the second cone. Sprinkle with glitter. Arrange the skirt in nice folds and leave to dry. When both doilies are dry, glue the angel top to the bottom skirt. Decorate with gold cord, ribbon on the bottom skirt. For the halo, use a small piece of wired cord, or gold ribbon dipped in fabric stiffener and shaped into a halo. Glue the halo to the back of the angel between the wings. Our angel shown here is holding a few small gold roses. Her sleeves are actually one piece of gold wired ribbon, glued at the shoulder and bent in the middle. If you want to just make a simple tree decoration, just follow the instructions for the top of the angel. Attach a piece of string between her wings and hang from your tree.
