Christmas jewels - dancing angel drops

By Spotlight

The party season will soon be upon us.

This is the perfect opportunity to have some fun with beads.

We’ve created easy to make earrings. New decorated head pins add instant detail to any pair of earrings. Angel wings and angel charms lend themselves to the season’s festivities. Wear them yourself, or create some very individual gifts.
