DIRECTIONS

  1. Begin by sliding two 10MM Marguerites, one 8MM, and one 6MM Margue-rite (skirt), a coil spacer, and an Angel Wing spacer,  for the Angel's head and halo slide on the 6MM round, and the rondelle spacer onto the head pin.
  2. To create a wire loop at the top of the Angels halo, use your chain nose pliers to bend a 90* angle just above the halo.  Trim off some of the wire tail with your side cutters, so that you have approximately 1 centimeter left to form the loop. With the tip of the wire and the middle of the round nose pli-ers, bend the wire up, over, and around, so that the end touches the elbow at the 90* bend you put into the wire previously.  Note:  Your instinct will be to roll the wire under, but you should be rolling the wire up and around, so that your loop looks like a little lollypop.
  3. For the Bookmark, use a 6mm jump ring to attach to the bookmark form.  Gently open the jump ring to the side (this will be easier to close and won't compromise the integrity of the metal ring), slide Angel and Bookmark onto the jump ring and close.
  4. For the Earrings, gently open the loops of the fishhook ear wires (in the same way you open the jump ring), slide the Angel dangle onto the fishhook and close loop, repeat for other ear-ring.
