choir singers

Table angels made from paper plates are always a hit, but this year I’ve added another design to the family - Christmas Choir singers.  They’re very cute in their little choir robes and look especially good when created with faces of those you love.

you will need:

Uncoated round white paper plates
Choir singers template (PDF download here)
Lead pencil
Scissors or sharp bladed knife
Photograph
Double sided tape or glue
Gift ribbon decoration and tinsle

how to:

1.First you will need to down-load your pattern (see above) and print it out.  Rub over the back of the design firmly using a lead pencil.  Then turn this over and place it onto the paper plate and draw around the outline to transfer the image

2. Using sharp scissors, or a craft knife if you prefer, cut out all of the shaded areas, including the two lines on either side

3. Push the plate from the back to create a skirt, than slip the two lines together to form sleeves.  Stick these down and secure at the front with double sided tape or glue

4.  Give your choir singers faces using photo cut-outs stuck down with double sided tape or glue

5. Add a decorative gift ribbon for a hat and a length of tinsel for a scarf.  Cut the printed written message from a Christmas card for ‘carol’ music and secure with tape
