Beadery Holiday Beaded Ornament Kit, 1.125-Inch, Littlest Angel, Makes 24 Ornaments (BOK-5669) , White

Exactly as expected

Cute but so small and hard to handle to assemble. if you have any limitations choose something else.

These tiny angels are cute as a button, but BOY are they tedious to make! And when you're done, they're not very stable, even though I wired them as tightly as I could. The "skirt" bead tries to spin around and won't stay in place, making the whole angel get twisted and wonky. I noticed that another review mentioned gluing a rhinestone to the back where the wings meet, to both hide the ugly wires and to add stability. I might try that. I realize the kit is supposed to make 24 tiny angels, but it's not really that great a value for the money, because the beads are so tiny and so few are needed. Having to add a rhinestone to the back of each one to have a presentable finished product just adds even more to the cost. The circled angel in the photo is one that I put together. As you can see, the "skirt" bead doesn't want to lay flat. Super annoying. :-( (P.S. I'm a highly experienced crafter. Would definitely not recommend this kit for new crafters, kids, anyone with poor eyesight, or anyone with limited patience. There were a couple of times I almost threw it in the trash!) Update: I decided to return the whole kit. As cute as the angels are, they're just not worth the aggravation. :-(

Really pretty and fun to make. They are a little smaller than I had expected but it’s fine because they look great anyway.I’m an experienced beader and wireworker and I don’t think I could recommend this kit to people who have trouble with small details or to children. These are extremely fiddly and you need some patience especially for the wings.Speaking of wings, which are the hardest parts to attach, in my humble opinion the wings look better with the fuller side facing the front. I’ve tried both directions and I like the curvy part facing me when I look at the angel head on. Also, I glued a small rhinestone between the wings to conceal the wire and to make the wings sturdier.Getting a string through the head was very challenging so I made a wire needle and threaded some silver floss through. I’m some cases I couldn’t fit anything through the head so I passed the needle through the top two beads on the halo and it looks really pretty either way. I was left with a lot of leftover beads and not enough pearly heart beads so I used some other beads I had for the body. The kit did make at least 24 though.Great kit, probably one of my favorites but like I said, definitely NOT for those with limited beading experience. But that’s just my very humble opinion.

Little Angels , I read all of the review about how tiny these were & a few said how hard it was to make .but I liked the picture of these angels & I have been making beaded ornaments for years , so I got these anyway to see if I can use them with another ornament. My 1st angel I made was exactly as the picture , cute butsimple looking . My 2nd angel I changed the head bead to a pretty pearl pink 8mm bead & that made a Bigdifference on how beautiful the angel looked. I also make beaded wreaths , the center of my wreath is approx.2 1/2 inch wide circle , I used the wire leftover from the back of the angel & hooked it to the top of the wreath,the angel , looks like it was flying in the middle of the wreath , WOW , it was beautiful . I showed it to many of my friends& they said I should be selling them , they gave me lots of orders & now I have to buy more of this kit .Thank you , this is now my favorite ornament to make .

Really tiny. I've made 4 so far and they are very cute. You'll need good eye sight and patience (or a magnifying glass). With little items and beads such as these, I often use a little "Sort Kwik" on my finger tips for traction. They are plain and their size limits any additional embellishments. You have to try things. Think outside the box. Take the tiny angel with you to a craft store and compare options. Something thin like 1 or 2 strands of DMC embroidery floss would probably be best as a loop for hanging. I always look at each one and reshape so it looks like the "perfect" one in the picture.

They are cute and the obvious, hard to handle being so small. I was missing pieces to make the complete 24 the kit is to make. Some of the beads you can find at a local craft store but the heart bodies and wings I was unable to locate. I used a metallic embroidery thread as opposed to embroidery floss to hang them with. I would recommend getting a jewelry beading needle to help inserting the thread to hang with. I just purchased another kit and they did not include the wire to make them with. I have contacted the company but no response.

I bought this kit to make with my visiting sis. finished product was sooooo tiny and small.

They are really pretty but a lot smaller than I was expecting.

Fiddly at first, but once you get into the swing are quick. Small, dainty

Beautiful little angels

very pretty but a few pieces missing

These are very tiny, You almost need a magnifing glass or one of those things you put over your head. I have done a few and I really do love them. You have to be really patient with them. It can be difficult to thread the beads on the wire. This kit with the 24 angles would look good on a Christmas wreath as the only decoration.Have fun, I sure have.
