Instructions
- Using a head pin, load 1-2 glass flower beads to create the under slip of the Angels skirt (cupped downward), or your choice of skirt. Then slide on one Spiral Bead Cone (unless using Marguerites), one Coiled 5mm Bead (body), one set of Angel Wings, a single round 6mm glass bead (face) and a crystal rondelle for the halo.
- Place your round nose pliers, horizontally, above the top bead on the head pin. Bend the headpin to a 90-degreeangle. Turn the pliers so they are now vertical in the angled section. Bring the tip of the headpin up and over the top jaw of the pliers so the wire is now facing downward. Turn the pliers so they are horizontal again. Continue to bring the tip of the headpin around the barrel so the wire is now formed in a loop and the end is back out at a 90-degree angle.
- Remove the round nose pliers, grip across the loop with the chain nose pliers. Grip the tip of the headpin with the flat-nose pliers and wrap the headpin around the straight length of wire below the loop, making approximately three tightly wound wraps.
- Using the side cutters, trim any access wire, then press in the cut end with the chain nose pliers. (Carefully as not to crack the beads)
- Using Chain nose pliers, open the loop on the bottom of the ear wires. Slip the loop above the angel onto the open ear wire loop; close the loop to secure the dangle. Repeat steps 1.) through 5.) to complete second earring.
