Angel Earrings:
I saw these on another website and thought they would be easy to duplicate. 
2- hematite ear wires
14- 18 gauge, 5/32in anodized aluminum jump rings (2 black, 4 light green, 8 light purple)
4- hematite head pins
4- 13mm bugle beads (black)
Instructions:
Before you begin, make dangles with the head pins and bugle beads. http://www.how-to-make-beaded-jewelry.com/headpin-loop.html

| Step 2 |
Step 1- Open the green and black rings, close the purple rings.
Step 2- Weave 4 closed purple rings onto an open black ring and close. Separate the small rings; leaving a pair on the top and a pair on the bottom.
Step 3- Weave an open green ring onto 1 pair of purple rings; going from the right ring back to front and the left ring front to back. Before closing add the ear wire.
Step 4- Repeat step 3 with the bottom pair of purple rings. Before closing the green ring add 2 bugle dangles.
Experience Level: Beginner
Approximate Time: 20 minutes
These are cute enough, but I don't really love them. I just wanted something that was quick and easy to do. I don't like the bugle beads very much. They are cheap plastic ones, but they are all I had on hand and I didn't feel like going out to get good ones. I might just head over (tomorrow) to the good bead store and look for some metal dangles to hang from these. Hopefully they will have something that looks better.
