An Angelic Day

What can you make with some wire, safety pins, beads, wooden heads, crowns and pliers?



How about some adorable angels?

A guy I used to work with made these and he also made bells using different beads.  His grandmother had shown him how to make them and he in turn showed me.  Each one takes about 1/2 hour to make.  I use an assembly line type of method when I make these.  I make all the skirts first and then the wings and arms, etc.  It is much more efficient that way.  If you hang them a Christmas tree and put a white light under their skirt, they really light up.  They are also nice to put on presents with ribbons instead of the common bow.
