How to do it: Cut the angel's head and arms out of paper - here you can download the template as a PDF - and paint the hair and face with gold pencil. Glue on the tip of the cake bag - the head should sit exactly on the tip. For the wings, cut the smaller doilies up to the middle, fold like an accordion to the fan (see drawing), and stick to the angel's body from behind. Place the finished angel on the top of the tree.

Here's how it works: Cut two equally large stars with a diameter of around 25 centimeters from the felt. Embroider stars with colored sequins and sew on colored ribbons, always turning the ribbons at the corners for clean edges. Sew the stars together by machine or hand, leave an opening of five centimeters - it will later be used to attach the star.

Here's how: Bend the silver wire with star-shaped pliers; leave 20 centimeters of wire for twisting the handle at both ends. Then coat wire star with adhesive and press the adhesive side onto the transparent paper. Cut out the star, leaving about a centimeter of protrusion all around. Attach the star to the tree with wire. If you like it a bit more colorful: Simply use colored transparent or tissue paper.
White splendor: the tree decorations made of wire and paper are ready in an instant, a chain of lights makes it shine.
