A Little Christmas Cracker

Here's a perfect little gift to make for loved ones and it just the right size to fit in a Christmas cracker or to hang in an organza bag on the Christmas tree!

In September, I visited the Big Bead Show at Epson Race Course and discovered a stall selling these beautiful little angel key rings.

They are so easy to make and the components are quite inexpensive.  You just take a long head-pin and thread on a small silver spacer bead, followed by a large, pale pink teardrop miracle bead, then a metal angel wings finding and finally a round, rose pink miracle bead.  Cut the head-pin to the correct length and using round-nose pliers make a loop at the end (make sure that wire meets the other end closely, so there is no gap).  Open the loop and add a small amount of silver chain.  Finish this with a silver lobster clasp or key-ring................and voila............you have a beautiful angel key ring!

Enjoy!

All of the above components can be found on ebay or if you don't have time to make these, they are available to buy for £3.50 each in my Folksy shop.
