Instructions

Step 1

Align the four 7" wires with the twisted wires on the outside, straight wires on the inside and use the 1/2 round wire to make a bundle 1/2" from the top. Wrap 5 times to secure the wires.

Step 2

Measure 1 3/4" from the top wrap. Using the half round wire, make 3 wraps. Then measure 2 3/4" from the top bundle and make 3 more wraps, again using the 1/2 round wire.

Step 3

Holding the wire at the 1 3/4" wrap, very gently bend the 4 wires to make a horse-shoe. The wrap at 1 3/4" should be level with the wrap at 2 3/4".

Step 4

Thread your first bead on the twisted wire and secure with 2 wraps on the opposite side about 3/4" up from the 1 3/4" wrap

Step 5

Thread your second bead on the straight wire and secure, using 2 wraps, on the opposite side about 1/8" from the last.

Step 6

Thread your third bead on the other straight wire and secure, using 2 wraps, on the opposite side about 1/8" from the last wrap.

Step 7

Thread your 4th bead on the twisted wire and secure, using 2 wraps, just under the bundle of wires at the top.

Step 8

Flush cut the extra wire at the end of the bundle so that 1/4" of extra wire shows. You will use this to glue to the butterfly in the next step.

Step 9

Glue the angel's skirt to the front of your wings with E-6000 glue. Wait at least 1-1/2 hours for the glue to dry before going on to the next step.

Step 10

Now for the halo. Take the 3" piece of twisted wire and form around a round object. I found a round pencil was too small so I used an empty tube that holds seed beads. Use something about the same size as your cab or button. Now twist.
