Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Cut the body
Trace a 5-inch (13 cm) circle on felt, cut it out, and cut it in half. One half makes one angel.
Step 2: Roll a cone
Roll the half circle into a cone and glue the overlapping edge.
Step 3: Cut the wings
Cut a wing shape about 4 inches wide with scalloped edges, like a rounded bow.
Step 4: Assemble
Glue the wings to the back of the cone near the top, then glue the pom-pom onto the tip as the head.
