Tools and supplies: first, we're going to start with the chain nose pliers, Caesar chain those players, their larger on one end and smaller on the other. They come in really handy. Next you'll need to to ball and bars like this. You'll also need a halo, which is, Ah, normally called a bead spacer, and then you'll need a couple of beads that you'll use for the head. So this is the head that I'm using. Its a little Swarovski crystal. Next, you'll need some angel wings. These air easily obtainable there, also called beads spacers, but they look like angel wings, and then you'll need the body. The kind of body that I normally choose here is a drilled bead that is going all the way through the length of the bead. It makes a much cleaner body than if you were to use another kind of feed. Next, you'll need a French year wire. These come pre ist in pre assembled, with a little spring on them, a wire and then an opening to be able to attach it all together. I prefer French air wires over any other kind of year wires, and I know you can make them yourself, but they're so inexpensive. If you're to buy these on eBay, Uh, just go ahead and buy him and bulk because you'll use them in a lot of designs. This entire angel that I'm going to be creating cost me maybe $3 supplies to make about 30 30 earing. So about £15.15 pairs. So if you do the math, you could make a lot of money on these at craft fairs, So now let's get started. 3. Assembly: Now I'm going to a simple the first bead with the ball and, uh, of your stick here, you feed it through, stay through the triangle bead. Next you do the angel wings and you put those through the hole face down, like so. Then you grab this little Swarovski bead, you feed that through, and then you finish it off with the halo. Isn't that an adorable angel? Now, for the tricky part, you grab your chain nose pliers and you bend it at 40 at 90 degrees, like so. And then you grab the the wires again at the smallest tip, and you just twist bumps. You just twist your wrist around. Thanks. So until you have a nice enclosure So here's Here's the enclosure. Straighten your body up. And now you've got your first angel. You've got this right here. It's better to open this than it is to try to open your angel home. So you just grab your wires and normally these are closed on the inside of the year wire. So you just grab it, twist it just slightly, so it looks like like that. And then you look this through and then with the opposite motion on your hand would just do this again. I'm going to do the second year ring, so that way you can see it again, but in normal speed, just to see how fast it is to duties. So you stick it in with the ball on the bottom, stick the angel wings on next, stick your head in, put the halo on top. This wire appears to be smaller, so I'm going to replace it. Uh, quality control, when it comes to really cheap findings isn't all that great? Uh, you're getting things from, let's say, other countries, no country in particular. But generally quality control isn't all that great. So here see the difference. This was ever so slightly larger, so I wanted just restoring it with a larger one Mr Number. It's not you. It's the findings. So don't get too angry. Just have some extras, just in case you need in Now. Now I have a little something to work with here. Someone bend it in half or been it 90 degrees twisted around to make the whole close the whole and straighten angel like So grab this. Open it, stick it through. Whoopsie close it up again. And look how fast it was to make these two beautiful angels. Now, as a variation, I want to show you some additional types of findings you can do for a completely different looks. You can use a cone like this and then use a much larger angel wing like that and then go for really bigger a big head like that. So see, that's a totally different look. Or you can use Ah, Swarovski crystal or a very lightweight Lucite bead for the body. And you couldn't use the same wings. Let's see, just bring it over here like so and then make use a darker beat for the head and he wanted to. You could even use these pretty little be clear Swarovski be that air flat on one side as a halo. So see completely different look. So here's the finished product. I hope you enjoy taking this jewelry making class. And if you did, please check out my other videos. I'm going to be showing you how to make earrings and rings and pendants and so much more on skill share. Thanks again. Bye bye. 4. Pricing earrings: 5.
