Cut out the shape...Tape the back corners to create a funnel like shape..Take a shiny ribbon ..Fold it several times and cut into  triangles.. Stitch the triangles together and to the angel shape..Roll the napkin and put it in the gap behind the head!! Voila!

Make paper trees and add stars will have the name of guest. Download the pattern here. Slit the pattern in the middle black line.. Fold in such a way that the part where there is green arrow should be inside and the red arrow one outside..
