STEP 1 - Fold the cards into an accordion shape

You'll need two identical sheets of paper. We used square origami paper measuring 14 cm on each side. It's best to overlap the sheets and accordion-fold them simultaneously. If you prefer a slightly larger angel with a denser accordion shape, you can use A4 sheets of paper. Cut two strips, approximately 15-16 cm wide, along the longer side. Then, proceed in the same manner, folding them accordion-fold.

STEP 2 - Forming the angel

When the accordions are ready, we fold the sheets of paper by 1/3 of their length to obtain the desired shape.

Next, it's time to glue the two parts together. Before doing so, place a folded string between them, which will serve as the pendant for our angel.

Next, we glue the shorter pieces to the longer one, i.e., the sleeves to the rest of the angel's robe. Finally, we spread the accordion more evenly to achieve the desired shape.

STEP 3 - Christmas tree decorations - the final touch

Once the angel's body is complete, simply add a wooden bead. We place it on the string, which is our angel's pendant. This gives the angel its head. This final touch, a delicate wooden detail, completes the whole and adds charm to the piece.
