Hearts of Love
Designed by Christy Gallaher.
Create these fun heart designs for Valentine's Day or any time you want to share a little love. Use as a hanging decoration, a suncatcher, a Valentine, or a favor.
Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Light Pink - 68
Red - 121
Raspberry - 399
White - 89
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.
You will also need:
3/16 inch Ribbon: red, white
Small bagged candy
Step 2
Download the PDF of the Hearts of Love Project Pattern. You will use the large and small heart pegboards to create your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the pattern.
Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. Let the design cool.
Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.
Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.
Step 5
ASSEMBLY:For the large heart, create a hanger by running a length of ribbon through the openings in the heart and tying the ends in a knot. For the small heart, use a length of ribbon to tie the heart to the bag of candy as shown in the photograph.
