Tools and materials Time: 1 hour Difficulty: 4/10
- large beads (or small beads, bicones;
- fishing line for beads;
- bead needle.
Step-by-step weaving instructions
A distinctive feature of this pendant model is that it can be made from both large beads and beads, including bicones. In any version, the heart will look interesting and attractive. A good idea for a keychain or pendant for a holiday.
Step 1: weave the first cross
The weaving method is incredibly simple, it is a cross that has already become familiar to us. This is how it looks schematically.
Step 2: make several rows
This is the style in which we weave several rows.
Step 3: Round the top of the part
As a result, you will get something like this, which resembles a heart in its shape.
It is noteworthy that the workpiece consists of small squares, without curves, and it will not be difficult to repeat it. The only exception is the upper parts of the heart, but this point is clearly visible in the diagram.
Step 4: connecting two parts
You will need two of these blanks in total.
Now we collect them, our voluminous heart. This is also extremely simple to do - we just take flat hearts and sew them along the edge line. Since during the stitching process we use the remaining bicones, the final row for our keychain is formed.
By the way, it is not necessary to use beads or beads of the same size that we used to form both blanks. You can choose a smaller option, this will not spoil the final version at all. Rather, on the contrary, it will make it more interesting and unusual, especially if you choose a material of a different color scheme.
Step 5: Attach the Loop
Now all that’s left to do is attach a beaded loop to our ready-made heart. This way you can painlessly tag the keychain to its rightful place - the keys, on the rearview mirror in the car, or even on the phone. And there is no shame in giving such a product; your friends or acquaintances will appreciate the souvenir.
Such a voluminous beaded heart will be a good souvenir for dear people. Therefore, share this master class and weaving pattern with your friends, so that they too can please their loved ones with a gift.
You can weave a wonderful heart-shaped gift from beads for Valentine's Day. This does not require any special skills, so even a novice needlewoman can do it. Below is a diagram that shows how to make a beautiful heart from any high-quality beads; study it carefully before work.
Let's try to weave a beautiful heart from beads with our own hands
To weave a heart you will need to prepare:
- Large Czech beads;
- Wire 0.3 mm;
- Beads 4 mm;
- Round nose pliers.
You will make this heart using the monastic weaving technique.
Take a wire, the length of which will be approximately 120 cm, and fold it in half. String two beads and place them exactly in the middle of the wire, then insert one bead and thread the second end of the wire into it towards the first end of the wire. It will turn out like this:
Then put a bead on each end of the wire, and in the third, thread both ends of the wire towards each other and tighten. The result was a cross made of beads.
Repeat this action according to the pattern until number eight. Here's what happens:
Then make a spread for the second row of your heart. To do this, put 2 beads on the right wire, and 1 on the left, and thread it through both ends of the wire.
According to the pattern, weave seven crosses to the end of the row. To get an unfinished cross in the last link, you need to string two beads on the right wire, and then thread both wires into the last one.
On number 16, make an increase, put two beads on the right wire, and on the left one into which you thread both ends of the wire - you will get a turn to the left.
Continue weaving in the same way, but on the left use the already strung beads from the first row. Weave the next 7 steps and turn upward. To do this, thread the wire into two beads of the previous row at once and take 1 new one, thread both ends of the wire through it.
Weave until the end of the row, then make an incomplete cross of 3 beads. Secure the wire and remove any residue.
Weave the second one in the same way.
When both sides of the heart are ready, connect them with a separate piece of wire equal to 60 cm. Connect all the outer beads.
After finishing the heart a little, fill it with beads for volume, then complete the connection of the heart, secure the wire and hide the ends inside. So the souvenir is ready.
You can also give the heart as a wedding gift or as a decoration if it is made in the form of a pendant. Such jewelry work requires your perseverance and patience. But what happens in the end will please both you and the person to whom you are going to give this gift.
Deeds of our hearts in a simple lesson
If you delve into the very essence of weaving, it will not take much of your time. For this heart you need to purchase:
- Red large beads;
- Beads for any decoration;
- Fishing line;
- Needle.
This photo tutorial is based on the square post weaving technique.
Manufacturing should begin by weaving a column consisting of 15 main cubes, after which weave another column at a right angle, but it is already one element smaller.
Once you have made the required number of columns, you can connect them in the shape of a heart. To do this, match the ends of the work and sew them together.
For decoration, use any beads that harmonize in color, attaching them along the edge of the finished heart, between the main beads. As a result, you can get this gift:
DIY heart tree with diagrams and description
What is required for this:
- Blue and white beads;
- Wire (0.7 and 0.3 mm);
- Wire cutters;
- Gypsum;
- Scissors;
- Floss threads;
- Vase-stand;
- Glue.
The diagram of this tree is not complicated. Start by weaving twigs. Measure a 0.3 mm wire 40 cm long, string 5 beads and twist into a loop. Back off 3 mm, make the same loop again, and you need to make nine of them. Then bend this branch in half, the central loop will be the top. Twist the rest in pairs together, you should get a twig.
Make five of these branches and connect them into one thick branch by wrapping the small branches on 0.7mm wire to make it look like this.
Weave as many lush branches as you see fit. Using thread, wrap the trunk of each lush branch. The shape and bend of the branches is at your discretion. Then proceed to create the second tree. Only this time the branches should be made of white beads. Otherwise, do everything the same as with the previous tree. When all the branches are ready, they need to be wrapped with white thread.
Several diagrams on how to make a heart from beads are provided below in the material with diagrams and a detailed description of the work for beginners in needlework.
We weave a bright heart from beads as a wedding gift with our own hands
Let's study several tutorials on creating a heart. Let us consider the basis of the heart itself. Then it can be supplemented according to your taste and desire: on a pendant, like a keychain for small sizes, etc.
To create a heart for a wedding we will need the following materials:
- Red, red marble, red with purple and pink inside beads.
- Dark green with mother-of-pearl, marsh green, green and metallic inside, light green, green beads.
- Wire for frame and weaving.
- Pot, hot glue, plaster.
Mix the colors: green shades in one container, and red shades in another.
Let's draw a natural-sized heart and bend the wire according to our drawn template. Of course, you can do without a template, but it will be easier to work this way. The size of the wire for creating the frame and “branches” is shown in Figure 18.
We create a branch without taking into account the color of the beads. Place as many beads as possible onto the wire. We continue to plant until the wire is completed or when you want to complete it yourself.
First loop (Figure 4-5). Leave a piece of wire a little larger than needed with a reserve. Leaf loops consist of 5-6 beads or more. The leg consists of 5-6 turns.
When creating the next loop, step back to the height of the leg and weave until it stops. The legs are aligned, we make two turns (Figure 6-7).
The loops should be on one side, every single one (Figure 8-9).
And repeat. Figure 12 shows a loose weave.
If the leaves are close together, the branch will curl up on its own. This can be seen in the diagram in Figure 13.
The loops are arranged continuously and twist into a spiral. This is because there is a small distance between them and all the loops go only on one side (Figure 15).
Attach the created branches to the frame. You can use hot glue for this. To attach a continuous branch, about four drops in different places are enough.
Figure 18 shows the wire we used, with beads next to it. The thin wire is intended for weaving, and the thick wire for the frame.
Then we act depending on what result we want to get. Either we just leave a double heart, or we attach small hearts, or we put initials out of beads and wire.
Our product turns out fluffy and airy, since the spiral covers the base. If you wish, you can tint the base to match the shade of the beads.
Master class on creating the second version of the product
An elegant heart entwined with beaded flowers is a wonderful gift for a wedding or Valentine’s Day, or just a souvenir. A sophisticated and delicate beaded heart will decorate your interior. It is quite possible to do it yourself.
Let's start with weaving flowers. The rose is created using the loop technique using red beads. You need to prepare a stiff wire and string thirty beads on it. We wrap it in a loop and twist it a couple of turns.
We create the next loop next to the first.
At this point we create the third and fourth loop.
We continue working until there are about fifteen elongated loops in one place. We will create a flower from the bottom.
The wire at the base of the flower does not need to be twisted, because we need to add leaves for the cup there. We make them from three loops made at one point, each of which has nine green beads.
Then we combine the flower and sepals. We put the elements together and twist the wire tightly (4 pieces).
Let's give the loops a slightly flattened look. You will get a flower like this.
You can take large beads and create several small and large flowers.
In addition to roses, we need to make several half-open buds. Let's put the loops on again. Four will be enough.
Let's attach sepals to them.
We put the loops together and twist them around the axis.
Then we make the leaves using the French weaving technique. Here we will study in more detail the creation of an openwork leaf. We string green beads onto a wire.
Disconnect five beads and bend the wire in half. Twist the wire. Now we have a side and an axial side with five beads.
Then we wrap the side wire around the axis. The first tier consists of eight beads on the left side and one turn around the axis. The side wire is placed on top of the axial wire and is transferred to the right side.
We make the right side of the main tier in the same way.
The amount of beads increases as needed. We continue weaving until there is a leaf of four tiers.
In the fifth tier of the left side, we collect beads up to half a sheet, passing the wire through the previous tier. We string the beads again, come back, twist the wire through the axis and move to the other side.
We create the fifth tier on the right side in exactly the same way as on the left. The number of beads can be slightly reduced. The seventh tier on the left side is created in the same way as the fifth tier, but with a smaller amount of beads.
For the heart we will need five large openwork leaves and several small ones.
The number of large flowers and buds depends on your imagination. After all the parts are made, we begin to combine them into a composition. We attach small leaves to the buds, screw large leaves to large flowers. We wrap the legs of the grouped parts with floral ribbon.
Then we prepare a frame from thick aluminum wire.
We attach the prepared elements to it. We attach it asymmetrically using floral tape.
All we have left to do is work with plaster. Let's prepare an even cup. Cover it with cellophane and place the construction mixture there. You can mix sand, cement, alabaster. The result will be a very strong mixture. We place the tree there and continue to coat it with the mixture at the base. After half an hour, you can remove the tree from the mold and adjust the base with a knife.
Good day, needlewomen! How are you doing creatively? I hope everything is great! Today I want to show you how to weave a heart from beads. There are so many beautiful elements you can make from beads. Heart is one of the popular such elements that can be used as a keychain, pendant or pendant.
In the article you will learn:

What is needed to weave a beaded heart?
So, from the materials for work we will need:
- Czech beads. I took beads number 3 so that the pattern could be seen better.
- Wire No. 0.03, fishing line or thread (whoever is more accustomed to working with what). Speaking of wire, if not you haven’t read the article yet "Wire for beading" forward. From the article you will learn about what kind of wire there is and how to use it.
- Scissors.
How to make a heart from beads
Now let's start weaving a heart from beads.
I weave on a fishing line; it’s easiest for me to work with. Let's measure out a piece of fishing line or wire approximately 100-120 cm long. Fold it in half (in half). We collect three beads on the fishing line and close them into a ring. The result is a triangle like the one in the photo.
This action must be repeated eight times.
Now we need to rotate our beadwork to make the base of the heart.
Now we turn the bead weaving in the opposite direction again. We weave in exactly the same way, according to the same pattern. Only now one wall of the weave will be the beads of the first row. As the picture shows.
We remove the needle from the outermost bead, close to the weave. Now we turn around again and weave in the opposite direction.
Let's weave one more row in the opposite direction and that's it, the beaded heart is ready!
This is the beaded heart we came up with. It's not difficult at all. In order to make such a heart from beads, you do not need to have professional skills. Just want it enough and everything will work out.
Where to use a beaded heart
Use this beaded heart for its intended purpose: make a pendant from a heart, a keychain for a bunch of keys from small hearts, and if desired, such a heart can become a decor for your room.
And if you weave another such heart from beads and connect it with the same heart, you will get a three-dimensional heart.

Today we will tell you how to make a heart out of beads on wire in our new material - we have prepared for you a simple weaving pattern that even a beginner can handle.
Step-by-step master class
We begin to dive into the theme of February 14, the day that we know as Valentine's Day. Naturally, the main symbol of this day is the heart that you bring as a gift to your chosen one. But you don’t have to give your heart, but you can make small, nice attributes from beads in the shape of a heart with your own hands, especially if you spend a little time on it.
So, how can we weave a heart from beads and wire very easily today? On the agenda today is a very detailed diagram for beginners.
You can use beads of any color that you like - you can use pink, red, or even something completely unusual - purple or blue. In general, everything here is at your discretion. The wire should be thin and flexible.
Step 1: weaving a corner
We start weaving by crossing both tails of the wire piece into one bead. Second row – we cross the tails in 3 beads. In the third row the number of beads already increases to 5, in the fourth row up to 7.
Step 2: make increases
Step 3: reduce the width
And now the ranks will begin to decrease. We remember that the addition ended at 13 beads. Now 9 will be used, and then 6. This will be the last row. It will help us form not a sharp, but a semicircular crown of our heart.
This is how you have in your hands one half of your heart, which is very reminiscent in its shape of an ordinary petal.
We fasten the wire and cut off the excess.
Step 4: weave a symmetrical half
For the second half, cut off another piece of wire from the common skein, and begin to weave in the second half of the heart. The weaving pattern is the same, we add and subtract according to the description you see above.
That's all, after the last row of 6 beads, the wire is also cut, and the sharp ends are hidden.
Your beaded heart on a wire is ready. As you can see, the weaving pattern is quite simple and is suitable for beginners taking their first steps in beadwork. They can be used to decorate bobby pins, thanks to which you can create a beautiful and trendy hairstyle.
