Angel Wings

Make Your Own Christmas Angel Wing Jewellery – Festive, Fun & Full of Meaning

The lead-up to Christmas in Australia has its own kind of magic – like warmer evenings, fairy lights flickering in shop windows, and that unmistakable sense that it’s time to start getting creative. If you’re after a project that’s easy to make and full of Christmas symbolism, angel wing charms might just be the perfect place to start.

These elegant little wings are more than just decorative. For many people, they represent protection and love, or even a quiet connection to something greater. Around Christmas, when thoughts often turn to family, gratitude, and kindness, they can be a heartfelt addition to handmade jewellery or gifts.

Angel Wing Earrings: A Quick and Meaningful DIY

Let’s start with earrings – they’re simple to make, great for gifting, and you can easily whip up a few pairs in one sitting.

What You’ll Need:

A pair of angel wing charms (metal, enamel, or crystal-look – your call!)

Some beads in festive colours – think red, green, gold, silver, or clear sparkle

Headpins, earring hooks, and basic tools like round-nose pliers and cutters

How-To:

Thread a bead or two onto the headpin.

Add your angel wing charm.

Top with a round bead to represent the ‘head’ of your angel, and use a small bead cap if you want a halo effect.

Create a loop with your pliers and attach it to the earring hook.

Done! It’s that easy – and you’ve got a pair of earrings that carry a bit of festive cheer with every jingle.

More Ways to Use Angel Wing Charms

These charms aren’t just for earrings. Here are a few other ideas if you want to mix things up:

Necklaces – A single wing on a dainty chain makes a beautiful pendant. You can also layer it with small stars or birthstone beads.

Bracelets – Add a charm or two to a stretchy bead bracelet or link-style chain.

Brooches or Hat Pins – Attach a charm to a pin back for a festive touch to your winter hats, scarves, or coats.

Keyrings and Bag Charms – Pair a wing with a tassel or initial charm for a personalised stocking stuffer.

If you’re working with kids or making gifts for teachers or neighbours, keyrings and bag charms are great go-to options. They’re quick, thoughtful, and practical.
