Designer Tips

Add chevron and seed beads to headpin and follow instructions with 1-step looper, to make loop. (Optional, as you string them: To prevent the rotating of the chevron beads in the arrow, add a drop of Hypo Cement and allow to dry.)
String "Love" bead on eyepin with the existing eyepin loop at the top. Due to the shape of a heart, it will be easier to make the loop with the tool, on the other side of the bead.
Swarovski's "Love" beads are no longer available for the DIY market, but we still love this project! We'll try to keep some alternates in stock, but our selection of heart beads changes seasonally. The original design was made with an 8mm heart bead, and other 6-12mm hearts would also work.
