Step 1:

Make a simple loop on one end of the memory wire

Step 2:

Place the beads on the memory wire in the following order:

6mm round bead, 5 rivoli beads, 6mm round bead, 5 rivoli beads, 6mm round bead, and continue the pattern

Step 3:

Continue adding beads in the pattern in Step 3 until you have used 12 of the 6mm round beads

Step 4:

Cut the memory wire down to 0.4 inches (or 1 centimetre)

Step 5:

Make a simple loop and now the wreath is completed

Step 6:

On the 3 inch headpin, place the 8mm round bead, the angel wings, the 6mm round bead, and the daisy spacer (as shown)

Step 7:

Make a wrapped loop and be sure to tuck in wire (after the excess wire is cut)

Step 8:

Open one of the jump rings and place it through the wire wrapped loop of the angel

Step 9:

Attach the angel with the open jump ring to the 2 looped ends of the memory wire and then close the jump ring

Step 10:

Attach the other jump ring to the 2 looped ends of the memory wire

Step 11:

Make a simple loop on the 4 inch wire

Step 12:

Using something round, form a circle with your wire.  I used a small 1 inch plastic container but you can also use a peg from the WigJig.

Step 13:

There should be approximately 0.4 inches (or 1 centimetre) of wire left at the bottom.  If not, cut any excess wire. 

Step 14:

Form a simple loop and attach it to the top jump ring.  Be sure to close the simple loop

Your Christmas Wreath with Angel is now complete
