Quilled paper tree

You will need:

Quilling strips in different shades of green and in red

Styrofoam Tree shape

Glue, quilling tool

Golden paper or wooden star

Make quilled leaf shapes from the green quilling strips, their number depending upon how big your Styrofoam tee shape is. Make a few circles using red paper strips. Glue the quilled shapes to the tree filling the shape with green leaves and red ornaments here and there. Complete the tree with a paper or wooden star from your Christmas decorations.

Paper doily angels

You will need:

1 round paper doily (for every two angels)

1 heart shaped doily

1 inch Styrofoam ball

Golden coloured knitting yarn

Pearl headed pins

Fold the doily in half and crease well. Fold the halved doily again in half (to form a triangle) and crease. Fold the triangle again in half and crease. Open the doily and cut in two equal halves (semi-circles). Each part will have a number of crease lines. Fold each semi-circle into a cone overlapping the two triangular parts at the ends. Glue knitting yarn on the Styrofoam balls to make the hair. Push a peal headed pin from the inside of the doily cone upwards. Apply glue on a tip of the Styrofoam ball and push it inside the open end of the pin. Allow to dry. Glue a heart shaped doily to the back of the cone to form wings.
