Angel for Senior Center




I made this angel to be placed in the garden for the Senior Center.

What you will need:
  • Styrofoam ball
  • tin can
  • plastic milk carton or plastic binder
  • gold pipe cleaners
  • sharpie
  • metal hangers
  • scissors
  • wire cutters
  • pencil
  • metal cutting sheers
  • sheet metal screws
  • drill
  • hot glue
How to create the angel:

First,  take the metal cutting sheers and cut the tin can from top to base and halfway around the base.  Then, bend the tin can to form a cone and drill holes to secure the cone with the screws (trim the can metal as appropriate to form the cone).   Next, drill a small hole in the middle of the base and put a metal hanger through the hole and through the Styrofoam head bending the tips of the hanger to secure the head to the cone.  Add some hot glue around the head  and cone for extra support.  To make the wings, trace two wings out on a plastic binder of milk carton with a pencil and cut them out.  Then, drill small holes into the back of the cone and secure the wings with sheet metal screws.  To make the halo, shape the metal hanger in the shape of a halo and stick into the Styrofoam.  Put the gold pipe cleaners around the metal hanger.  Finally, decorate the Styrofoam head with a face using sharpie.  Please comment below and let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions.. Thanks!!
