You can make anything your heart desires with Artbeads Designer Wire Cynthia made a sweet heart shape then added beads by wire-wrapping them onto the heart frame. Dakota Stones gemstones and beads from an Artbeads Designer Blend come together beautifully. She even finished the necklace with Artbeads Designer Wire by creating an S-hook clasp with a touch of blue to match the color palette of the beads. Learn how to make this necklace in our Artbeads Shaped Designer Wire Artbeads Cafe episode, or follow our step-by-step instructions.
Cut a four to five-inch piece of 18 gauge square Artbeads Designer Wire in Antique Copper. Use round nose pliers to make a simple loop at both ends of the wire. Grip the wire with your pliers at approximately the center of the wire. Then, fold the wire in half at the center point. Straighten your simple loops if necessary so that they both lay flat and are on the inside of the fold. Use Wubbers or the shape of a marker or pen to round the ends of the wire into a heart shape. Manipulate the wire as you like until the heart is the desired shape.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
