Beaded Heart Shaped Pendant

after making bracelets, i was having some beads left.. and some leftover wire..

so from all these leftover materials i made a heart shaped pendant.

for making it we need

-crystal beads (preferably red/reddish)

-seed beads (i was having greenish beads left, so used them)

-wire (approx. 2 feet)

for getting started, we need 5 crystal beads and 16 seed beads.

i have arranged then in a particular manner (please refer picture)

take one crystal bead and pass it through a wire and keep it at center

now pass 2 seed beads from each end of wire

now take one crystal bead and pass it from one side of wire and then pass other end of wire through the same bead as shown

now pull both ends of wire tightly to make a loop as shown

again put 2 seed beads from both ends of wire then crystal bead and then make loop in the same way

make such 4 loops

to give the curved shape, i have arranged beads in a particular pattern (refer image)

in this pattern we are taking 2 seed beads on outer side and i seed bead on inner side

now follow the same procedure and make loops

we will be making 3 such loops

for giving extra curve now we are taking 3 seed beads on outer side and 1 seed bead on inner side

follow same procedure and make loops

we will need 2 such loops

again we are going to make 2 loops with 2 seed beads on outer side and 1 on inner side

this one is little tricky part

pass 2 seed beads on outer side wire

pass one crystal bead on inner side wire

now take 1 crystal bead and pass it through one side of wire and pass another side of wire through same bead and make loop

for making other side of heart we need to follow same procedure

firsts 2 loops (2 seed beads on outer side and 1 on inner side)

next 2 loops (3 seed beads on outer side and 1 on inner)

next 3 loops (2 seed beads on outer side and 1 on inner side)

and finally 4 loops ( 2 seed beads on each side of wire)
