Ceramic angel beads, blue glass and snowflake silver charms create beautiful snow-themed earrings for winter or Christmas.

Instructions:

1. Slide starflake charms into the loop at the base of the kidney wires and gently crimp shut with round-nose pliers.
    
2. String the beads directly onto the kidney wire as shown.

NOTE: You must straighten the ear wires to get the angels on. Once you’ve added all the beads, use a pen or dowel as a mandrel to reshape the kidney wire.

HINT: Bead Bumpers are used to keep the beads from moving around.
