Angel Milk Carton Container

This makes a wonderful container to send home treats after a Christmas party at school, daycare or your home.  

Or make one of these to place by the fireplace to hold the "stocking overflow". 

This is a little harder to make than the reindeer carton (it is appropriate for age 4+)  

Having said that, ages 2+ can do a really good job on the wings if mommy wants to do the face!

Angel Container Craft

Materials you will need for the angel container are 

  • an empty 2 litre (1/2 gallon) milk carton, 
  • a printer (optional), 
  • glue or tape, 
  • scissors, 
  • 2 sheets of white construction paper or typing paper,
  • 1 sheet of yellow construction paper
  • cotton balls, cotton pillow stuffing or white feathers
  • black marker or pencil crayon
  • gold or silver glitter (optional)
  • wiggly eyes (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Print and cut out the angel wing template or make your own template pieces, whichever you prefer. 
     
  • Put glue all over the wings, except on the little tab (if the kids get it on the tab, it isn't a huge deal)
      
  • Pull apart cotton balls or cotton pillow stuffing, so it's nice and fluffy.
      
  • Glue the cotton (or white feathers) all over the wings.
      
  • OPTIONAL:  sprinkle some gold or silver glitter over the cottony wings and press it in with your hands.     

  • Cut the top off a milk carton and discard the top (or save it for a different craft).  You can cut off as much of the top as you like... it depends on how tall you want your container to be.
      
  • Cover your milk carton with the white paper (it takes about 2 pieces).
      
  • Cut a piece of yellow paper about 3 inches tall and as wide as the milk carton (about 5 inches).  
      
  • Cut slits (a fringe) in this piece and glue it to the front (these are the bangs)
      

  • Cut two pieces of yellow paper as tall and as wide as the milk carton.
      
  • Roll the paper around a pencil to curl
      
  • Cut slits in the roll to make curly hair
      
  • Glue the hair to the sides of the head
      
  • Glue the wings to the back of the carton (you may want to reinforce with one long strip of cardboard along the back, but it isn't necessary)
     
  • Use a black marker or pencil to draw a face on the front (open "singing" mouth, freckles and closed eyes as in our photo is cute, but you can do it however you want!)  
      
  • You can also substitute wiggly eyes for hand-drawn eyes.
      
  • Cut out a strip of cardboard or construction paper about 10 inches long and glue to the sides of the container to use as a handle.

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
        

  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
