Cupcake Liner Angel Craft
We’re having so much fun with cupcake liner crafts, now for Christmas. I gotta say, though, our Cupcake Liner Angel Craft is quite honestly the loveliest Christmas craft for kids, as far as majestic and magical goes. It’s a precious angel from your own littlest precious angel.
I know Christmas angels are normally white, but it’s alright to think outside the norm. There’s something quite charming and fun about the colorful cupcake liners we used. You can, of course, make yours in white instead, too. Add a loop of twine, and it’s a perfect addition to the Christmas tree, too.
It’s also really easy to choose the color of hair. Just make an outline, larger around than the circle used for the face. Fold it in half and make a slit for the bangs. Add the top of the circle in the slit and you’ve made angel hair just that easily.
Christmas Angel Cupcake Liner Craft
For our Christmas angel craft, you’ll need cupcake liners in assorted colors as well as cardstock in white and hair colors
The other supplies needed are gold pipe cleaners, a black pen, 1.5” circle paper punch, scissors, a glue stick, and tape.
Cupcake Liner Angel Craft Supplies Needed
- Cupcake liners
- Cardstock – white, yellow, gold, brown, red
- Gold pipe cleaners
- 1.5” circle paper punch
- Black pen
- Scissors
- Glue stick

Christmas Angel Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by flattening your chosen cupcake liners.
Now, fold the edges of the cupcake liner to a point.
Punch a circle from white cardstock with a 1.5” circle paper punch.
Place the circle on the chosen color cardstock for the angel’s hair. Trace around the circle, like the image above shows. It’s like a rounded rectangle kind of shape, with slightly flared ends. Make sure the area around the circle is larger than the circle itself.
Cut out the hair shape.
Then, fold the hair shape in half and make a slit for bangs. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Insert the top of the circle through the slit.
Draw a simple face with a black pen.
Now, glue the tip of the cupcake liner between the face and hair piece.
For the last few steps, cut a gold pipe cleaner in half.
Make a loop on one end of the pipe cleaner and twist to secure.
Tape the pipe cleaner to the back of the top of the angel.
Finally, bend the pipe cleaner loop up so that it’s a halo over the beautiful Christmas angel.
If you want, you can also add a loop of twine to the back with another piece of tape to hang on the Christmas tree.
