Hello there!
Welcome 🤗 to my Conner once again. You know what time of the year it is; it's Love in the Air o'clock, and I am super excited to share with you my latest beaded heart jewelry.
I can say this is my favorite beaded heart so far, and I named it a Heartwarming Heart because, believe me, my heart beat faster while I was beading this to tell how excited I was during the whole process and how much I loved the end result. What can I say? It's a matter of the heart, lol. I put all my heart into it for the person I'm making it for (myself😊) and for all my Hiver friends who will be reading this; I hope it brings calmness and love into your hearts. ❤️ And I wish you a beautiful Valentine's Day.
This heart can be used for earrings, pendants, or stitched to a backpack or even clothes. The sweet part is that the process is quite simple, anyone can do it. Come along and let me show you how.
Materials used
To bead this heart, I only used white and red seed beads, pliers, scissors, earrings hooks, a beading needle and 0.3 fishlines.
Step-by-step process
I used a brick stitch method to stitch this heart; the first stitch in a line always starts with two beads, followed by one bead to complete a line.
Step 1:
I threaded 150 cm fishline and I put one white and one red bead on it, leaving a 50 cm tail, then passed my fishline through the beads twice to make sure it was secured.
Step 2:
I started to stitch the line with red beads until I had 14 beads on the line.
Step 3:
Starting from the second thread line, I stitched five red, five white, and three red beads on this line.
Step 4:
Starting from the first thread line, I stitched three red, one white, four red, one white, and four red beads on this line.
Step 5:
Starting from the second thread line, four red, five white, and three red beads are stitched.
Step 6:
Before starting a new line, I had to. Increased the previous line by adding one red bead to the side of the line. Then turn the bead to the other side and stitch red beads throughout the line.
Step 7:
On this line, starting from the first thread line, I stitched three red, one white, and seven red beads; the seventh bead was added by the side of the line, as you can see in the fourth and fifth photos.
Step 8:
In this step, starting from the first thread line, I stitched eight red, one white, and two red beads.
Step 9:
Here, I brought out my fish line on the second bead and stitched two red, five white, and three red beads.
Step 10:
I brought out my fishline on the second bead and then stitched red beads throughout the line.
Step 11:
I brought out my fishline on the third bead and then stitched it with red beads throughout the line.
Step 12:
I brought out my fishline on the third bead and then stitched it with three red beads to end this side of the heart. And as you can see, I have a half-part of the heart. Awesome, right?
Step 13:
Here, I started to bead the other half part of the heart. I carefully passed my fishline until it came out on the second bead of the first line we started earlier and then stitched three red, five white, and five red beads.
Step 14:
Here, I let my fishline come out on the second bead, then stitched four red, one white, and eight red beads; the eighth bead was added by the side to expand the line.
Step 15:
Starting on the first thread line, I stitched four red, five white, and four red beads.
Step 16:
I brought out my fish line on the second bead and then stitched red beads throughout the line.
Step 17:
Starting from the first thread line, I stitched four red, five white, and three red beads on this line.
Step 18
Here, I brought out my fishline on the second bead, then stitched two red, one white, one red, one white, two red, one white, and three red beads to make this line.
At this point, my fish line was about to be exhausted, so I tied knots, passed the remaining fish line until the work was secure, and then trimmed off the excess.
Step 19: I brought out the tail of the fishline I left earlier on to the second bead and stitched three red, three white, one red, one white, and two red beads.
Step 20:
I brought out the fishline on the second bead and then stitched the line with red beads.
Step 21:
I brought out the fishline on the third bead, stitched the line with red beads, and ignored the last thread line.
Step 22:
I brought out the fish line on the third bead, and then I added three red beads. This completes the heart shape. I carefully passed the excess fishline around, tie the knot and trimmed off the excess fishline.
I simply repeat all the steps above to make two more hearts. Two for earrings and one for the pendant.
I love that it feels comfortable to wear and fit perfectly on my ears.
So, what are you waiting for? This love season, surprise that special woman in your life with this special beaded heart.
Have an amazing Valentine's Day. This is my entry into Jewelry community Valentine's Contest and I invite my friends @lecia89, @ozd and @repayme4568 to participate.
