    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: 4mm pearls. 11/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8). Size 10 or 11 beading needle. Wire guards (optional, for hanging). Create the First RAW Unit: String four 4mm pearls onto your thread. Tie a knot to form the first right-angle weave (RAW) unit. Add More RAW Units: Thread three more pearls and connect them to the first unit by threading through adjacent beads. Repeat to create a total of five RAW units for one side of the heart. Build the Second Side: Mirror the RAW pattern on the opposite side of the heart. Connect the two sides by threading through the beads in the center column. Complete the Frame: Add pearls at the top and bottom edges to close the heart shape. Reinforce the structure by threading through all beads multiple times. Embellish with Seed Beads: Add 11/0 seed beads along the edges of the heart for definition. Create a rounded loop at the bottom using seed beads to enhance the design. Attach Wire Guards: Add wire guards at the top for durability if you plan to hang the pendant. Use seed beads to secure the wire guards in place. Finalize the Pendant: Tighten all threads, trim any excess, and check for symmetry. Attach a chain, jump ring, or earring finding to complete the pendant.

    Appreciate free shipping. Clasps & beads are waaaay overpriced. Several tems are out of stock. Don’t appreciate offers to purchase random items when trying to checkout. The subscription kits are confusing. Monthly is self explanatory. $55 per month to receive 1 kit every 3 months??

Always something GREAT being offered!! I love the offers at the end of my cart purchase. It usually has something that I missed or just want looking for - but, I need in my life LOL
