 You will need:
- 28 8mm beads (dress)
- 1 16mm bead (head)
- 42 3X6mm beads (halo and wings)
- 1.5 Yards 24 gauge wire
Instructions:
1) Find the center point of the wire. Bend wire into L shape at center.
2) Slide 7 (8mm) beads to the bend in the wire.
3) Slide 6 beads onto one end of the wire keeping them near the end. Thread other end of the wire back through the 6 beads and pull tight. Flatten out the rows as needed. (See Diagram 1) Flatten out rows as needed.
4) Slide 5 beads onto one end of the wire, push the other end through all 5 beads, and pull tight.
5) Continue adding beads using the same method until there is a row with just one bead.
6) Take the longer end of the wire and thread 17 3X6mm beads on it. Pass the through the row of 3 (8mm) beads and then thread 17 3X6mm beads on the wire and then pass it through the row of 1 (8mm) bead. (See diagram 2)
 7) Pass both ends through the 16mm bead.
8) Take the longer end of the wire and thread 8 3X6mm beads. Take the other end of the wire and form a hanger loop. Take both ends of the wire and wrap them around the wire just below the halo.
9) Cut off any extra wire, adjust the wings and SMILE!
