Pasta angel craft instructions – noodle instead of ball

Incidentally, Mrs. Jäckel, a very dear customer, gave me the idea for the angels. She wrote:

“Hello Mr. Depenau, now I would like to send you a warm Advent greeting with my self-made pasta angels. All parts of the figures, except the head and the decoration in the hands, are made of pasta. I bought the skirts from you. They are Coralli pasta. This year I made and gave away or sold 100 of them. As you can see, your delicious products are not just good for the palate”

Pasta angel – The crafting accessory

• Hot glue gun
• Gold paint and brushes
• Wooden beads with a hole (one bead per angel)
• thick gold thread (or other thick string) for hanging
• Glitter and gift threads
• possibly a thin sharpie

Pasta angel – pasta shapes

• Tortiglioni
• Farfalle
• Heart pasta curoricini
• Croissant noodles
• Ditalini pasta

Pasta angel – The crafting instructions

Step 1:

Paint the pasta and the wooden balls with gold paint. If you like, you can also work with glitter.

Step 2:

Now cut the gold thread into strips about 15 cm long and knot them into loops.

Step 3:

Pull the loops through the wooden ball so that the ball sits on the knot.

Step 4:

Attach a tortiglioni noodle to the ball with hot glue.

Step 5:

Attach the farfalle wings to the body of the pasta angel using hot glue. Croissant noodles can be used to glue on arms. A heart-shaped noodle on the angel’s belly is a fun detail. Arms up, arms down, backwards or forwards – there are so many different variations.

Step 6:

For the hair: Small Ditalini noodles make a cute curly hairstyle. With Farfalle, the angel gets a bow hairstyle, but you can also glue tinsel into funny hairstyles.

Step 7:

You can draw cute faces on the little angels with a thin Sharpie.
