Bead and Wire Angel

7. You’ll notice the wings are probably slipping around a little. In order to make them tighter, I crossed them so that the left wing went right and the right wing went left. Then I took my flat nosed pliers and flattened all the wire that make up this part in the back. This helped tighten up the wings, and since this part is in the back, you won’t see it from the front. For a final touch, I also recommend pushing the wings back just a little. You can use your fingers again since the wire is soft enough.

8. Now, you just need to add a little ribbon so she can hang from her halo, though she can also stand up. In fact, a reader told me she made this same angel but much larger and used thick aluminum wire so she could use it as a center piece for her table.
