Instructions

Step 1

Gather your supplies

Firstly, we want to place all our beads into magic sorting trays so that they are easy to reach while making this piece.

Also make sure that your tools, wire and thread are accessible.

Step 2

Create the body

Take two 8mm White pearls and place them onto a flat head pin.

Next, we need to cut around 15cm of 26-gauge wire and then wrap it around the flat head pin between your two pearls. Make sure there is an even amount of wire on both sides of the pin as this is where the wings are going to be.

Step 3

Create the wings

Thread twenty-one 3mm Light Grey pearls onto the right side of the wire. Carefully bend just below the final bead so they don’t fall of while manipulating the wire.

To create the shape of the wing leave the first two beads free, create a loop using the next fifteen pearls and overlap then wrap the wire around itself after the first two beads we initially left. You should end up with two beads, then fifteen for the wing, then four pearls left for the arms.

To secure the pearls, place a size #1 1mm crimp tube onto the end of the wire, secure it into place, then cut off the excess.

Repeat this step on the left side of the angel to complete the body.

Finally, bend the excess wire at the top of the angel’s body, making sure to leave a small gap between the bottom pearl and the end of the flat head pin. Cut it to the size you want your loop to be, then bend it into a loop using your round nose pliers.

Step 4

Create the skirt

To create the skirt, you need clear Illusion Chord. Measure a piece around 13cm and place nine silver plated 2mm crimp beads on your thread. Tie both ends together so that it creates a small loop.

Now measure around an arm’s length of thread for the rest of the dress. It’s always better to have too much thread than too little.

Start by threading your chord through one of the crimp beads on the small loop we just made. Pull around 8cm of thread through as we will need this later to tie off the skirt.

For the design of the skirt, you will need to place five Light Grey 3mm pearls, three 5028 6mm Crystal AB beads, one White 6mm pearl, three more Light Grey 3mm pearls, one White 6mm pearl, three more 5028 6mm Crystal AB beads and finally five more Light Grey 3mm pearls.

Once you’ve placed all your beads onto the thread, loop the thread through the crimp bead next to the bead we initially placed the thread through.

Now you will need to repeat this step until you have gone through every crimp bead on the bead loop. Once you have done this, tie off the thread as tightly as you can.

Step 5

Adding structure to the skirt

We want the base of the skirt to be a circle, so to do that we will need to cut a roughly 20cm piece of 26-gauge wire. We will then need to thread the wire through the three Light Grey 3mm pearls separating the two White 6mm pearls. Then you will need to place three more Light Grey 3mm pearls onto the wire before threading it through the next three Light Grey 3mm pearls that separate the next White 6mm pearls.

Repeat this step until you have made it round the entire base of the skirt.

Then taking a size #2 1.2mm crimp tube, thread both end of the wire through the bead so that they cross over one another. Secure the crimp bead in place and then cut of the excess wire.

Step 6

Assemble the angel

To attach the skirt to the body, measure a 7mm piece of 26-gauge wire and wrap this around the headpin between the second pearl on the body and the bottom of the flat head pin and cut off the shortest piece.

Thread the longest piece through the loop at the top of the skirt and then place a White 8mm pearl onto the wire. Take one more size #1 1mm crimp bead, place it onto the wire below the pearl and secure the crimp bead in place. Cut off the excess.

Step 7

Finishing touches

As an extra touch, add some ribbon to the angel so it can be hung on your Christmas tree.
