Making crafts by hand is not only an engaging activity but also a fantastic way to add something unique to your home decor. At Joy-pup, we’ll show you how to create an adorable angel made of pasta. This original craft can serve as a home decoration or a delightful holiday gift. All materials are easy to find, and the process is suitable even for beginners.
Materials Needed:
- A small wooden bead (for the angel’s head)
- Various types of pasta (cannelloni, farfalle, macaroni elbows, star-shaped pasta)
- Glue (preferably hot glue or universal glue)
- Acrylic paint, glitter
Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Prepare your materials for crafting. You can leave the pasta in its natural color or paint it in your desired shade before starting the assembly.
Step 2: Take cannelloni pasta to serve as the angel’s body. Attach the wooden bead to the top of the pasta tube using glue. Let the glue dry completely to ensure the structure is stable.
Step 3: For the wings, use farfalle pasta. Position the “bowtie” pasta symmetrically behind the wooden bead. Attach the wings to the back of the angel’s “body” using glue.
Step 4: Use macaroni elbows to create the angel’s arms. Glue them starting from the head. To stabilize the figure, glue additional macaroni elbows to the base. You can also arrange the elbows to form the angel’s halo.
Step 5: Decorate the craft with star-shaped pasta. Glue them onto the head, base, or arrange them into a wreath. Leave the figure to dry for several hours or, ideally, a full day, to ensure the glue sets completely.
Step 6: Paint the finished figure with acrylic paints. Add facial details like eyes and a mouth, and enhance the design with glitter.
