Forest Fairy Angel Earring Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips
- Add crystals, angel wing beads and spacers to head pins and finish with a simple loop. (See Making Earrings 101 below for instructions to make loops.)
- Because the large end of the dome bead is concave, it can be tricky to measure and cut the headpin for making your loop. Press your thumb or other finger against the head of the pin, to pull it up to the inside of the dome for best results.
- Use any ear wire you like with these designs.
- These angels / fairies can be made as a pendant, by only making one.
