I have another tutorial again and this time it's making wire heart earrings ♥ Wit the same steps you can also make pendants and charms. All you have to do is make the heart shape bigger.

Cut about 9cm wire and make a loop at the center with a round nose pliers. Bend the wires up, making sure the wires are of the same length.

Then with a round object, in this case I used a pliers' handle make a curve by bending the wire downward. Do the same for the other wire.

After bending the wires you'll see that is starts to shape into a heart. Adjust the wires, if needed and then make a loop at both ends.

Then fill the heart with bicones. You can also use round beads if you like. With a thinner wire, first wrap the heart frame at least 2x and then slide in a bicone and then wrap again.

Continue wrapping until you fill the heart frame with bicones.

Then with the extra wire slide in a bigger round bead and wrap the other end onto the heart frame to secure it. Cut off excess wires.
