Papercraftmas Day 13: Tree Top Angel (Patreon)

Ok, this one is really special.  Three sheets of paper, a whole lot of engineering, and she's meant to sit at the top of your tree.  For a more secure fit, why not put a paper towel roll under her skirt so there's less wiggle room?

Materials You'll Need

Lineart or colored illustration printed on a single sheet of heavy cardstock or watercolor paper- if you're printing at home and using 8.5x11 paper, your paperchild will be a little smaller than my elves.  I used Canson XL watercolor paper (9x12, from Walmart) and the Qor Mini Palette, plus a tube of gouache, for all the paperchildren.

Scissors

XActo Blade

Double Stick Tape

Foam Tape

Adhesive of choice (I'm using Tombow's permanent tape runner)

Popsicle Sticks

Single Sided Tape

When you cut out your paperchild, save that paper!  We use it to create the base and reinforce the paperchild!
