Metallic Bead Angels

  • Step 1Cut a length of beading wire (approximately 15cm long).
  • Step 2Thread 15 beads onto the beading wire, bend to make a circle and twist the loose ends to secure.
  • Step 3Cut 5 more lengths of beading wire (approximately 25cm long). Thread each piece of wire through the third bead in the beaded circle you have just created.
  • Step 4Twist to secure the wire onto each bead.
  • Step 5Thread 5 beads on each wire strand.
  • Step 6Gather the 5 beaded wire strands in the centre and thread 2 more beads on all of the strands.
  • Step 7Split the strands into the 2 bunches. Thread 8 beads on each bunch to create 2 wings.
  • Step 8Bring the wire together in the centre again and thread a small wooden bead onto your angel to create a head.
  • Step 9Thread 1 last bead onto your angel to create a halo and twist to secure the last of the beading wire.
  • Step 10Use a marker to draw a face onto your angel to complete!
