Paper angels, white (description and stencils). Paper angels, stencils for windows Schemes and templates for New Year's decorations

How to make an angel out of paper- several options from Tatyana Yablonskaya for Christmas 2019.

- These are the messengers of God. They are mentioned in every religion, so they are known all over the world. In appearance, an angel is a weightless translucent entity, which is characterized by humility, insight and immortality. As a rule, these entities have neither gender nor age. Most often, angels are depicted as humanoid, wearing loose long robes, with wings and a halo above their heads.

People believe that angels protect them, so they decorate their homes with figurines of these cute creatures. You can make a guardian angel yourself, from almost any material. Figures made of clay, porcelain look great (see ours). Today we will try to make paper angels. This is the most affordable material that is always at hand. To make the result pleasing, you will need a little imagination, perseverance and diligence. Well, today there are many variations. You can come up with something of your own, unusual and original.

In our work we will use:

• regular napkins,
• openwork napkins,
• office white paper,
• cardboard,
• colored double-sided paper,
• special strips for quilling.

Let's do it first snow-white paper angels, which symbolize purity, purity, tenderness and lightness.

Three-dimensional paper angel (stencils)

Option 1

We take plain white paper and draw on it the silhouette of an angel from the front, with a pipe in his hand. Separately, draw the wings in span. These will be stencils.

Using these stencils, we cut out 4 blanks. On the wings (where the feathers should be) we make a fringe to make them look more magnificent. The bottom of angel dresses can be made openwork using a regular hole punch.

Now we make a small cut on the back and in the middle of the wings. We connect two parts.

You get these little angels with open wings.

We tie strings to each figure (either by the wings or by the halo) and hang them on the chandelier. The blowing air causes the figures to slowly move and spin on a string. It turns out very beautiful!

Option 2

On a white sheet of paper or thin cardboard, draw an angel with a fluffy skirt and high wings. You can print this template:

We cut along the contour with scissors and carefully cut out a halo and heart for the figure.

We take a figured hole punch and make a pattern on the hem of the skirt.

Glue the edges of the skirt and handles using PVA glue. Now the angel can stand.

We make a candle from a napkin and a yellow thread and glue the figures to our hands.
It turns out to be a voluminous angel with flowers on the skirt.

Option 3

On a thick sheet of white paper we draw two stencils: one part with wings, and the other without wings.

Cut out 1 piece with wings and 6 pieces without wings.

We fold those parts that are without wings in half lengthwise.

Now we glue them to the blank with wings. To do this, coat the folded area with PVA glue and apply it to the middle of the central part. Three things in the front and the same number in the back.
The result is a magnificent bell-shaped angel.

Another difficult option from YouTube, but very beautiful! If you manage to fold a three-dimensional angel using this form, send us a photo, we will be happy to publish your boasts.

Angels made from napkins

Option 4

We will make this angel from three-layer white napkins.

Unfold one napkin and place a paper ball in the center.

We connect all the corners of the napkin and form the head of the future craft. We fix it with a napkin rope. Trim off the excess to make a full skirt.
We make the wings from a rectangular cut, which is pulled together in the center with a flagellum.

Glue the wings to the dress using PVA glue. We decorate the head of the figurine with a paper flagellum.
The napkin angel is ready!

Option 5

To make this craft, you need to take round openwork napkins. You will need 2 pieces in total.

From one whole napkin we form a low cone.
We cut the second napkin into segments. We glue handles (cones) from 2 pieces and make wings from 2 smaller triangles.
We make the head of the figurine from a napkin and a paper ball, as we did in option 4.

Glue the head onto the sharp edge of the cone. We place our arms on the sides and wings on the back.

All that remains is to decorate the craft a little with a golden thread.
It turns out openwork paper angel!

Craft “Paper Angel” (accordion)

Option 6

To make this angel, cut a sheet of paper in half lengthwise.

We take 2 strips and form accordions from them. The width of the side should not be more than 1 cm.

We glue them together, not reaching the edge by 3 cm. We turn these parts to the sides - these will be the handles. And on top we glue a large pink bead - this is the head of an angel.

You can make the body differently. Fold one sheet like an accordion, and then make a 3.5 cm long cut in the center.

Bend these edges to the sides, as in the first case.

Glue an oval-shaped purple bead in the center.

Now we use a figured hole punch to make pink and lilac flowers.

Glue flowers to the dress (bottom, sleeves, center).
The result was angels in pleated dresses.

A similar version made from accordion paper is shown in this video:

Option 7

We will form an accordion again. You just need to glue three halves of a white sheet lengthwise.

We glue the accordion into a tube and cut out the silhouette of the upper half of the body.

Lubricate the bottom of the silhouette with PVA glue and place it in the center of the accordion pipe. We coat all the folds with glue and fix them with a napkin so that they stick together. Then you get a fluffy pleated skirt.

All that remains is to glue the handles and wings. You can also cut out a candle and make a small book out of paper.
Now our angel reads a prayer or sings a Christmas song by candlelight.

These snow-white creatures will fit into the interior of any room and will become real guardian angels for those to whom you give them as a souvenir. And this is not to mention the pleasure that the process of making figures itself will bring. You can involve small children in it. They will be happy to take part in creating such beauty.

Option 8 (openwork)

Winter spoils us with magical holidays! presents the opportunity to meet friends and relatives, please each other with gifts, fulfill someone’s cherished dream and return to childhood again. And it gives an inexhaustible faith in goodness and miracles, which are sometimes so lacking in life. Let's get a little closer to the mysterious and try make an angel, bringing peace and goodness on his wings. Be sure to tell your children the history of the great holiday and its significance for all people. Then the angel will be charged with the energy of your hands and hearts and will become the guardian of a happy life in the family!

List of materials needed to create an openwork angel figurine:

• white (colored) A4 paper;
• a simple pencil;
• scissors;
• eraser;
• glue.

Prepare everything you need for the creative process. You can use white or colored paper, depending on your wishes. The figurine made of silver and gold paper also looks original.

Fold the sheet in half. Unfold again and bend one of the halves inward to the fold line. Unfold a quarter of the sheet and fold it in half inward. Do this to find the width of the strip to create the paper accordion.

Do the same with the other half. After this, assemble the sheet into an “accordion”, properly ironing all the folds.

Using a simple pencil, draw various patterns on the first half of the “accordion” - this is the future attire of the angel. Make the edge round.

Draw a pattern on the top of the accordion - these are the future angel wings. Make the edge leaf-shaped (with a pointed end).

Cut out a pattern at the bottom of the paper blank. Cut carefully, without haste, otherwise you may cut off excess.

Cut out a pattern at the top of the accordion.

If you straighten the workpiece, you will get this openwork “canvas”.

Cut two identical strips from white paper. The length of the strips should be at least 20 cm, width 1-1.5 cm.

Fold one of the strips four times. Cut out a random pattern across the entire surface.

Use the second stripe to decorate your head. Roll a small ring and glue the edges. Wrap the remaining length of the strip around the first ring to form a second rounded row. Make a third round row by gluing the remaining strips.

These are the details you should get from strips of paper.

Let's move on to the design of the angel figurine. Calculate the middle of the accordion. For convenience, count the gathers on both sides. In the upper part, make a cut 6-7 cm deep, bend the wings. This is how you share the angel's wings.

Glue the gathers in the middle along the angel's body to the point where the wings bend so that the figure does not fold when they rise.

Grease the sides to adhere the wings to the garment.

Spread your wings and angel robe.

Glue the head in the middle of the wings.

Glue a patterned strip from one edge of the wings to the other.

The story of the Nativity of Christ.

The Nativity of Jesus Christ is celebrated differently in different churches; in Russia, Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. This is one of the most important holidays for Christians. The name “Jesus” means “Savior”, “Christ” means “Anointed One”, i.e. Jesus Christ is God's Anointed One, the King of Heaven and Earth, the Prophet and Savior of human souls. The Nativity of Christ marks a new era - the transition from paganism to Christianity, because for the forgiveness of the sins of all people, Jesus Christ came to earth, suffered like an ordinary person, and died on the Cross.

The Mother of God - Virgin Mary, together with her husband Joseph, lived in the Jewish city of Nazareth. After the Annunciation - the announcement by the Archangel Gabriel of the good news about the birth of the Son of God Jesus Christ - the Roman Emperor Augustus, who conquered Judea, decided to conduct a population census, which every resident of Judea had to take in the city of his birth.
Therefore, Mary and Joseph went to their homeland - to the city of Bethlehem, located somewhere 15 km from the capital of Judea - Jerusalem. The path was quite difficult, however, on the evening of January 6, Mary and Joseph reached Bethlehem, which was crowded with people wishing to take the census. All the hotels were occupied; out of despair, the Virgin Mary and Joseph decided to spend the night in a country cave, in which sheep usually slept at night. But that night the cave was empty, to the delight of the travelers.
It was in this very cave that the Savior, Jesus Christ, was born from Mary. The difficult life path of Jesus began not in a royal mansion or even in a house, but in an ordinary cave, on hard straw, which clearly characterizes the sacrificial life of Jesus Christ for the sake of saving us mere mortals, sinful people.

In that country there were shepherds in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Suddenly an Angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were afraid with great fear. And the Angel said to them: Do not be afraid; I bring you good news of great joy, which will be to all people: for today a Savior has been born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord; and here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly a large army of heaven appeared with the Angel, glorifying God and crying: glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!
When the Angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to each other: let's go to Bethlehem and see what happened there, which the Lord told us about. And they hastened and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in a manger. When they saw it, they told about what had been announced to them about this Child. And all who heard were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary kept all these words, writing them in her heart.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem and said, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?” For we saw His star in the east and sewed it to worship Him. And behold, the star that they saw in the east walked before them, when it finally came and stood over the place where the Child was. Seeing the star, they rejoiced with very great joy, and, entering, they saw the Child with Mary, His Mother, and, falling down, they worshiped Him; and having opened their treasures, they brought Him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
When they departed, behold, the Angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream and says: get up, take the Child and His Mother and run to Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod wants to look for the Child in order to destroy Him. He got up, took the Child and His Mother by night and went to Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod.

This is the Christmas story that happened many years ago in Bethlehem.

Vytynanki is a type of handicraft when figures are cut out of paper. They are glued to windows or used to decorate a room by attaching them to strings. The art originated in China in the 7th century after the invention of paper. Since then it has developed and came to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. People use stencils when preparing for holidays: Christmas, Easter, birthdays. Preparing for the celebration improves family relationships and brings adults and children closer together. Paper produces openwork patterns, three-dimensional pictures, and funny New Year's scenes.

To prepare stencils you will need white paper, a stationery knife, nail scissors, and a simple pencil. Ready-made cuttings are found online and printed. If you want to get creative, you can draw the pictures yourself by hand and then decorate the room with them.

There are two ways to stick pictures to the window.

Option 1

Prepare a soap solution, wet one side of the stencil with a sponge and attach it to the glass. Subsequently, the protrusions are easily removed, and the glass is washed with clean water or a special window cleaner.

Option 2

Take toothpaste and dilute it in water. Dip the stencil in clean water and stick it to the window. Wet a sponge in a solution with toothpaste and blot the glass next to the glued snowflake with it.

You can first spray water on the window; such places will be more transparent. Wait until the solution dries and remove the snowflake. The result will be an unusual pattern - a transparent silhouette of the stencil, and around it a matte white color. After the holidays, toothpaste is easily washed off with clean water.

Wedding

To decorate the room, wedding-themed stencils are glued to the windows: bride and groom, wedding rings, fluttering doves. Protruding hearts will become relevant. They decorate not only the windows, but also the room itself.

Autumn leaves

Stencils of finished leaves can be found online. But it’s much more interesting to make them with your child. You need to collect beautiful fallen leaves on the street. At home, it’s good to straighten them, put them in a book for 1-2 days and press them with a press.

Attach the leaves to the paper and trace along the outline. Mushrooms, nuts and other attributes of autumn are also used as autumn protrusions.

Ballerina

Delicate and graceful silhouettes will emphasize the festive mood. Usually the ballerina is depicted during a dance movement: standing on one leg with her arms raised or making a graceful bow to the audience.

Summer

The summer theme is represented by vytynankas associated with the warm season. Usually these are stencils in the form of berries and fruits: strawberries, raspberries, pears, cherries, apples. You can decorate the windows with images of flowers; they symbolize the onset of summer: daisies, roses, dandelions, peonies. Droplets symbolizing rain are used as summer vytynankas.

Letters

Typically, stencils of letters on windows make up words and small combinations of words. The inscriptions symbolize the onset of a holiday or other special event. For example: “Happy Birthday!”, “Happy New Year!”, “Merry Christmas!” Signatures on the windows can be used to congratulate people living in neighboring houses on the holiday. In this case, the letters are glued in a mirror manner.

Digital

Numbers, like letters, symbolize some significant number. Most often, numbers are hung on windows before the New Year. They indicate the onset of the next calendar year, for example: 2018, 2019.

Sometimes numbers are glued to windows for children's birthdays (adults are unlikely to be happy with such a gift). Usually this is a short caption: “The little princess is 10 years old,” “Our boyfriend is 7 years old!”

Colors

Flowers are universal stencils, suitable for any event. They can decorate a room for no reason. The choice of vytynanka depends on the mood and preferences of the creator. These can be delicate roses, field and modest cornflowers or exotic edelweiss. If desired, make a garland or wreath of small flowers.

Patterns of vytynankas for the New Year

Decorating the house and thinking through the New Year's pattern is one of the important parts of preparing for the celebration.

There are two ways to cut a stencil:

• Enlarge the picture on the computer screen. Place tracing paper or other transparent paper on the monitor and transfer the drawing. Then cut it out - this will be the stencil. The method is convenient if it is not possible to print the image.
• For the second method you will need a printer. You need to choose the picture you like, download it from the site and print it. Using a utility knife or small scissors, cut out the protrusion.

Christmas trees

This is one of the main symbols of the New Year. You can cut out Christmas trees of different sizes by “planting” a spruce forest on the window. It is convenient to glue the protrusions using a soap solution, then everything is easily washed off with water.

Snowflakes

Snow and snowflakes are popular vytynankas, companions of New Year and Christmas. Snowflake stencils are downloaded from the Internet. Those who wish can do them themselves. To do this, take a sheet of white paper, fold it into four or eight parts, and use nail scissors to cut out openwork patterns.

Houses

Small and large silhouettes of houses on the windows are complemented by falling snowflakes, Christmas trees, and deer rushing to wish children a Happy New Year.

Keys

Stencils in the shape of keys are also suitable for other holidays. When choosing vytynanki, it is important not to be afraid to fantasize. You can glue the outlines of large barn keys, small and elegant golden keys to the glass.

At Christmas

After the New Year, children and adults decorate the house for the Christmas holidays. Not only Christmas trees and snowflakes are chosen as examples of work, but also biblical themes. For example, they depict the Star of Bethlehem, a sheep pen, and the baby Jesus.

Winter patterns

Openwork patterns are made up of snowflakes of different shapes. You can get creative and cut out unusual designs on a large sheet of paper, then glue it to the glass.

Stencils are usually made from paper. This material is easy to attach to glass. The paper washes off quickly and leaves no marks. To decorate rooms, they also use other available materials: cotton wool, threads, white pompons. But they make voluminous protrusions. They are hung on threads from the ceiling.

This category includes any contours: animals, birds, people, trees, inanimate objects. You can cut out the protrusions of animals: silhouettes of hares, foxes, bears. Animals can be placed in a mysterious forest; to do this, additionally cut out several trees.

Asterisks

Excellent stencils symbolizing New Year, Christmas and other holidays. The stars look spectacular in the evening. If you also glue Santa Claus in a sleigh to the picture on the window, then in the dark you will get the feeling of being in a fairy-tale place.

Deer

In Catholic tradition, Santa Claus flies to children on a sleigh drawn by reindeer. Gradually, animals became firmly established in the symbolism of the New Year; the Russian Father Frost fell in love with riding reindeer. Animal sleds will complement the winter holidays.

Christmas angels

Angel figurines are becoming popular. They are glued to windows to decorate the house for Christmas. On both sides of the Christmas tree are attached figures of angels soaring on wings. Sometimes they hold flowers or Christmas wreaths in their hands, or play a musical instrument.

Bells

Small bells have always been associated with holidays. When thinking about the stencil, don’t forget to add a bow to the bell.

Tree branches

Stencils with Christmas balls or other toys are placed on the branches. Branches of spruce or pine trees are prepared as protrusions. They are more suitable for the New Year theme.

Father Frost

A wizard with a big white beard and a bag of gifts will decorate any window. Next to Santa Claus they glue the Snow Maiden, forest animals (hare, wolf, fox), and a carriage drawn by deer.

Month diagram for cutting

It’s easy to make a stencil for the month yourself, without downloading pictures from the Internet. Draw a circle using a compass. You can circle the bottom of a plate or mug, choosing the right size. Then draw another line, giving the month the desired shape (waxing or waning moon), cut it out and attach the stencil to the window.

Windows in children's rooms are decorated with funny cartoon characters, fairy-tale heroes or other funny figures. Older children cut out stencils on their own and stick them on the windows, thinking up unusual plots.

Preparing for the holiday is a family event; joint decoration of windows and rooms brings adults and children closer together.

Smeshariki

Kids love to watch cartoons; they will be happy if their favorite characters “settle” in their room during the New Year holidays.

The mysterious Nyusha, the homely Kopatych, the dreamy Krosh and other characters from Smeshariki will make excellent company. Stencils with cartoon characters can be painted and hung not only on the windows, but throughout the room.

Fairy-tale heroes

The choice of stencils depends on the child’s preferences. Boys will enjoy robots, Spider-Man or another hero saving the world. Girls will love beautiful princesses or soaring fairies with a magic wand. You can come up with a festive plot, depict heroes in an enchanted forest or a winter city.

Air balloons

Vitinankas with balls are suitable for decoration for any holiday - New Year, a child’s birthday, last bell. The stencils are easy to cut and can be done even by preschool children. You can also release real balloons into the room; they will emphasize the holiday atmosphere.

Images of animals that the child likes are selected as stencils. These can be domestic animals: cows, goats, cats, dogs. Or wild animals: wolves, foxes, hares.

You can choose the symbol of the year according to the Eastern calendar as the main animal. This year the dog stencil is in demand. Next year will pass under the sign of the Pig, so piglets will be able to decorate the windows of any room.

Birds

Soaring pigeons, graceful swans, mysterious owls, even red-breasted roosters will appeal to babies and older children. Parents can suggest cutting out a lot of birds and hanging them on strings throughout the room. In the twilight, the kids will think that a flock of magical birds has settled in the bedroom.
