How to do it

1 Tear or cut small pieces of decoupage paper and attach them with glue lacquer onto the polystyrene item which makes up the angel's body. Leave to dry.

2 Use A-Color matt paint in your chosen skin colour for painting the polystyrene items that make up the body parts. Leave to dry.

3 Draw eyes and the mouth with a black Poster Hobby marker.

4 Cut flower sticks into small pieces. Use the pointed end of the stick to push holes into the polystyrene items where they are to be assembled. Put a small blob of glue into each hole and assemble the parts.

5 Use small pieces of pipe cleaner for hair (3 pieces) and the halo (1 piece) and assemble as illustrated. Use a flower stick to push a hole at the top of the angel's head. Put a small blob of glue in the hole and push the pipe cleaner into the hole.

6 Print and cut out the template for the angel's wings which is available as a separate PDF file for this idea. Copy it onto metallic card foil and cut out.
