Upcycling DIY: Monte angel for the winter time

The angel is a very popular craft motif, which is equally popular with young and old. During the Advent and Christmas season, the family home can be beautifully decorated with angels as loving Christmas decorations to create an extra festive atmosphere. Angels are also very popular as guardian angels all year round and are often used as lucky charms.

A unique angel can be made from the Monte Drink bottle. So the bottle can be reused even after it has been enjoyed. The Monte Angel is a great craft idea at any time of the year!
