Christmas Bazaar Crowd Pleaser

Every year I make dozens of pairs of Angel earrings for our Church Christmas Bazaar and they always get sold out. I try to make each pair unique, which can be a challenge when making dozens. The Christmas trees are also popular.
Components:
Angel earrings:Teardrop crystals, 4mm crystals, rondelles, Angel wings, ear wires. Christmas trees: 4 mm crystal cube, margarita crystals of varying diameters, 4mm crystal round.Read the comments (or add your own)

dolllady aka Pam says:I love the different wings on your angels. I have made angels using larger beads as far angels for family and friends. I also made the tree earrings. I found some small yellow stars for toppers and small brown cubes for the trunks. They are so fun to make.

Althea A says:Thanks, everyone! I can put these together quickly but it’s challenging to figure out how to make each pair of angels unique since there’s no point to being handcrafted if they are identical. I do have 10 different types of wings and many colors of crystals.
