Supplies Needed:
- 2 x 60” cut lengths 0.5mm Crystal Elastic Cording

- 80 x Faceted Glass Beads (1 strand)
- 1 x J-Hook Clip
- Beading Needle
- Scissors
- Superglue (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Taking one of your cut 60” lengths of cording, thread on one glass bead placing it in the middle of your cord length.
2. Following the pattern diagram, add on your beads, weaving your string through as you go. As you work make sure you keep your string pulled tight.
3. Following the pattern, make 2 heart shapes.
4. Place your hearts beside each other on your work surface.
5. Take your 30” length of cord and thread a bead onto it, placing the bead in the middle of your cord. Starting at the bottom point of your hearts, take one end of the cord, and thread it up through the bottom bead of one of your flat heart shapes. Repeat this step with your other cord, starting in the same spot on your second heart. Continue weaving new beads to connect the pieces together. Make sure you refer to the pattern below.
6. When you arrive at the top rounded edge of the heart, thread on your hardware.
7. Continue weaving all the way around your heart until you meet the place where you started.
8. Tie a tight knot and trim your ends. You can also use superglue on the knots for extra security.
