Creating paper plate angel toppers is a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your Christmas tree!

You can use a smaller paper plate for the head and decorate your angel with paints, glitter, and even a small piece of gold or silver ribbon for the halo. Once your angel is all decorated, you can sit her on top of the Christmas tree or hang her as a beautiful decoration among the branches. Want to add more festive charm to your tree?
