Beaded Angel
12x small 2.3cm safety pins
1x 12mm bead for head
1x 12mm bead cap
1x 8mm pearl for the body
12x 6mm pearls for the base
54x 4mm pearls for the dress and arms
42x 3mm beads for the wings and halo
80cm's 28gauge wire
This little angel is adorable and can be used as tree ornaments, present toppers or given as small christmas gifts.
Fill the 12 safety pins with the 4mm pearls, you will need 4 on each pin closing them as you go.
Cut 5.5 inch (14cm) or wire and thread it through the head of each pin as shown, placing a small 6mm pearl in between each pin. Secure them by placing them into a circle and securing the wire closed by twisting the ends together.
With 5 inches (13cms) of wire thread it through the ends of the safety pins and secure into a tight circle to form the skirt of the angel. Don't cut the wire.
Thread the ends through the large 8mm pearl to form the body and secure the wire and cut off any excess wire.
Cut 15 inches (40cm)of wire and thread on 12 x 3mm beads for the halo. Centre the beads on the wire and bring both ends of the wire though the bell cap and the 12mm head bead. Separate the wire and bring one end through each side of the body bead to form the wings.
Add 12 x 3mm beads to each wing wire and bring it back through the body bead to form a loop, then add 3 x 4mm beads and 3 x 3mm beads, miss the last 3 beads and thread the wire back up through the first 3 beads. Twist the wire around itself to secure. Do the same thing again for the other wing wire.

Once you make your first one, you will get the hang of it. BUT, if you have clumsy hands, like I do, sometimes this craft can be difficult. I use them as ornaments, stand alone decoration, and I also tape them to Christmas presents so everyone gets one..
