Pretty Beaded Heart Pattern




Just in time for Valentine's Day, this cute little heart can be made in less than an hour. Add it to the center of a necklace or bracelet. You could also put it on a chain for a very simple necklace. So grab a handful of beads and start making a pile of hearts for all yourself and all your friends.

 
A = Miyuki 8° SEED bead, 58 beads
B = 4 mm Fire-polished crystals, 33

Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12 beading needle. I used Fireline 6lb. crystal.  
Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 8" tail and begin at step #1.

1. Pick up 1A, 1B, 1A, 1B, 1A, 1B, go with thread forward thorough the 1A, 1B, 1A, 1B, 1A beads as shown.
