You will need aluminum foil and a toilet paper tube.
1. Make the wings.
Cut a piece of foil approximately a foot and a half long. Fold it lengthwise like a fan, in alternating directions as illustrated. Hold the fan together in the center and spread out the foil in a wing-like manner.
2. Make the body.
Cut another piece of foil the same size and wrap it around the toilet paper tube, aligning one end of the foil with one edge of the tube; let the rest hang off. After rolling the tube in the foil, bunch the extra foil at one end to form the head. If the head seems too small, wrap another piece of tin foil around it to enlarge.
Tear a strip of foil approximately five inches wide and wrap it around the tube to form a skirt. Bunch the skirt together in the back to hold it in place.
4. Make a halo.
Tear a thin strip of foil. Make a ring at one end with the trailing piece coming straight down. Press the trailing piece into the crevices of the angel’s head at the back.
5. Make praying hands.
Tear another thin strip of foil approximately eight inches long. Wrap it around the angel’s body, near the top of the tube. Press the ends together to form praying hands. Tear off any excess.
6. Attach the wings.
Center the fan on the angel’s upper back and press into the foil below the head to attach.
7. Set the angel atop the tree.
