Published By DIY Beading Club
INTRODUCTION
This Beaded Heart is created using RAW or right angle weaving techniques using 2
needles. When finished, you can use it as a charm or pendant.
We have divided the heart into 3 parts. Part 1 is the diagram that shows how to
weave the heart’s sides. After weaving Part 1 the heart should look like a flat heart at
first. Part 2 is where you weave and start to shape the heart into a whole heart and
Part 3 is where you weave the heart’s top part.
The beading pattern is numbered and color coded to represent every part of the
beaded heart and the bicone crystals. The threads are colored orange that
represents the left thread/hand and blue for right thread/hand.
The tutorial is catered for intermediate or confident beginners. It has in-depth
instructions and ultra-clear, close-up photos at each step. Additionally, you can ask
me question you have on the tutorial. No more getting stuck and frustrated on a
confusing or just plain inaccurate pattern.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:
Materials Needed
74 pcs bicone crystals
Nylon thread
Tools Needed
Scissors
Cement glue (optional)
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Part 1:
Cut at least 60 cm (36 inches) nylon thread. Look for #1 on your diagram where it says “START
HERE.” From # 1, follow the numbers to determine the order of weaving your bicone crystals.
Note: Position your 1st bicone crystal at the middle of your nylon thread before weaving the rest
of the bicones.
Part 2:
After you have reached your 36th bicone crystal, refer to Part 2 diagram on how to shape your
heart into a whole heart.
In this diagram, look for the “star symbol” and the 36th bicone crystal and continue weaving
from there until you reach your 62nd bicone crystal. Create a knot then weave again your nylon
thread through several bicones before cutting the excess nylon thread. You can put a little dab of
cement glue on the knot to prevent the knot from loosening.
Part 3:
Now we’re going to weave the top part of your beaded heart. Cut again a few inches of nylon
thread and insert it on the 43rd and 45th bicone crystals. Look for the word “Start here” on the
diagram and follow the order of weaving your bicones.
To finish it, create a knot. You can again insert your excess nylon thread through several bicones
if you prefer before cutting the thread.
You have completed the Beaded Heart. Remember, there are many variations you can play
around with it. Explore and discover… you will be able to do it! Hope you like the tutorial!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to crafting. I’m a self-taught jewelry
maker. Jewelry making wasn’t really a hobby of mine, but unforeseen events lead
me to learn jewellery making. My family put up a craft store where we sell cross
stitch, beads and all sorts of crafting materials. I fell in love with the beads and tried
to create accessories only for myself. Clients liked the pieces and I started
customizing handmade jewelleries. The craft store was a success for 6 years, but
like any other small businesses we had to close it down and I was confined to
staying at home. While at home I had all the time using the internet and now working
as a Virtual Assistant, where I blog, teach jewelry making and given the privilege to
design handmade jewelleries.
