Step 2: Bend the wire and create a “V” shape using your nose

pliers approximately at 8cm (3 inches) from one end of

the wire.

Step 3: Fold the wire with the help of a pair of flat nose wire

pliers. One end should measure 10cm (4 inches) and the

other end should measure 8cm (3 inches).

Step 4: Separate the wires again and pinch the folded end, shown in arrow to create a pointed end. This will be the bottom of your heart.

Step 5: With the 8cm (3 inches) wire, create a curved/looped

corner using a mandrel or any rounded object as a

guide. In this tutorial, we used the end of the nose

pliers.

Step 6: After creating a curved corner, extend the wire

downward, towards the pinched bottom of your heart.

Step 7: Do the same for the side. The end of the wires should

meet together.

Note:

The heart frame should have an uneven shape; one side

bigger than the other.

Step 8: After shaping your heart frame, place the heart frame

on a steel block and use a hammer to flatten and harden

the wire by hammering throughout the frame slowly.

Step 9: Bring up your 0.3mm (28 ga) wire and cut 40cm (16

inches). Wrap one end onto the 20 ga wires at least 2

times like shown in this picture.

20 ga wires.

Step 11: Wrap the wire with the bicone crystal and then wrap

again 2 times after the bicone crystal.

Step 12: Repeat Steps 10 & 11 and wrap at least 4 or 5 crystals.

Step 13: After wrapping two times after the last bicone crystal,

flip your heart. Weave the wire by leaving a space, a few

centimetres and wrap again once.

Step 14: Continue to weave the wire by leaving again a space and

wrapping once.

Step 15: Repeat Steps 13 & 14 until you’ve wrapped one side of

the heart. You now have created your first line of loops.

Step 16: Continue to weave your 2nd line of loops by weaving

over and going all the way around your 1st line of loops.

Step 17: After weaving your 2nd line of loops, weave the middle

part, going zigzag and through the left and right loops to

cover the empty space like shown in arrows.

Secure by wrapping neatly onto the heart frame and cut

off excess wire.
