Hi Chey,
I've made those! They make cute Christmas earrings.
I got the beads for them from Halsey Trading, too. I just used some little GF or sterling beads for the heads.

Thanks for all of the help. Earrings are a bit smaller than I had in mind, but it's a great idea! I am confused as to what to call the 3 different beads that I need. I spent a few minutes tonight checking out Ebay, but can't find any of the "wing" beads and the others were called at least a couple of different names. So any help with that will be appreciated. Also, how do I know what size beads to get? I guess I really would like my angels to end up being at least 2-3 inches long. Thanks again!

Hi Chey...
Go to the following website and click on "Angels". There you will find a coin next to the angel to give you a reference point to size. Looking at beads on the internet is deceiving, so I hope this helps. I don't know of any way you would end up with 2-3" angels, though.
I knew I had seen them somewhere in the foggy past... :)
I have some of these beads on my site:
Thank you all for the ideas/help. I will be checking it all out over the next couple of weeks as time allows and will let you know how things go!
