Materials: 6 heart shaped glass beads (width = 6mm). 6 pieces of 22-guage wire with simple loop at both ends (length = 25mm) 2 earring hoops as shown in picture.
Tools: Flush Cutter Round-nose plier Flat-nose plier
How it is Done
1. Use the round nose plier to create a single loop on just one end of 4 wire pieces.
2. String these 4 wire pieces with a single heart-shaped bead each.Close the end with a loop. Make sure the loop closure is tight enough to hold the bead in place. Trim away excess length.
3. For the remaining 2 wire pieces, create a stopper at one end by bending the wire at about 1.5 mm up 180 degree. String each wire indivdually with a single heart-shaped bead. Close the open end with a loop.
4. Link the loops of 2 beaded wire pieces mentioned in (2) together. And, include the beaded wire with the stopper as the last link. Twist but don't pull the ends of the loops apart or it might break.
