1 Let the straws soak in water for approx. 4 hours.
2 Gather straws in two bundles of ten and tie them together with a piece of thread in the middle.
3 Bend one bundle of straws in the middle over a finger as shown in the photo.
4 Tighten the thread and tie a double knot. Tie the two ends of the thread together with a knot to make a loop for hanging.
5 Place the other bundle of straws for the wings between the doubled-over bundle of straws.
6 Tie thread around the join in a square with a cross as shown in the photo.
7 Trim the straws into an arch shape at the bottom. Trim the wings at an angle with the shortest straw at the bottom.
8 Cut a small piece of pipe cleaner for the halo. Glue it together and thread it onto the doubled-over piece of thread (the loop) for hanging.
