TUTORIAL:

With this tutorial you will learn how to make a beautiful Angel that can be used as a Christmas Ornament or displayed on a stand. She is small and delicate measuring about 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches (6.35cm). Angels have beautiful symbolism and anyone would enjoy having a gift of Love and Peace this Holiday hand made by you. I will be teaching you how to build the foundation Angel and details on how to form the Halo, Head, Hands, Arms and Wings. How you embellish your Angel will be up to you. I have given you several detailed options and examples in this tutorial. For the simpler version this Angel can be cost efficient and fast to make by using whatever wire and beads you already have. I will tell you exactly what I did and how I did it but I will not be teaching you the details of the embellishments, that will be up to you depending on what materials you choose to make your Angel with and how you choose to embellish her. You will need to know some basic wire techniques to accomplish some of the embellishments I did. This Angel does not need to be just for Christmas she can be decorated for any Holiday or occasion.
