Supplies

Thread

Seed beads your choice of color

Bugle beads your choice of color

Jump Rings

Thin jewelry wire

Clasps

Ear wires

A pair of Jewelry Pliers


This set is very easy to make and can be finished in a couple of hours, depending on your beading skills. But do not worry even a complete beading beginner can  do this.


The main pieces to bead will be the hearts and here is a step by step to show you how to make them.


Your piece should now look like this.





Your piece should now look like this.





Your piece should now look like this.




Your piece should now look like this before you flip it





Your piece should now look like with the last bead still needing to be added


Once all these steps are completed trim off excess thread and your heart is finished.





To Create Earrings

You will need to make 6 hearts. 3 for each earring
6 jump rings
1 pair of ear wires

Just use the jump rings to connect the hearts together and attach to the ear wires.




To Create Necklace

You will need to make 3 Hearts
4 Jump rings
Thin wire
seed & bugle beads

Connect hearts using jump rings, adding a jump ring on the outside of the hearts to  so you can connect the chain you will make.( you can use ready made chain you do not have to make your own links)

To make links

Using wire make a small loop wrap to close loop cut off excess wire.
Add 1 seed bead   1 bugle bead   and 1 seed bead
Make a loop at other end wrap to seal and trim off extra wire.

(Make sure to check for sharp ends you do not want to get poked while wearing your necklace.)

Now just keep adding links till you get the length you want. Repeat this for the other side as well.
then add your clasp and your Necklace is done.



To Create the Bracelet

See how many hearts will be needed to go across the top and sides  of your wrist. In my case it was 7.

Make 7 hearts
9 Jump rings
Make 7 beaded links
Make a string seed beads a little longer than your wire beaded  chain

Connect hearts with the jump rings with an extra jump ring on each end.
to one connect 1 end of your wire chain link and beaded string.
at the other end of your wire beaded chain and beaded string add another jump ring
and your clasp. your bracelet is now finished.





Happy Crafting
