Creating a beaded heart centered inside a filigree leaf pendant necklace involves combining beading techniques with jewelry assembly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make a beautiful beaded pendant necklace:
Design Your Heart
Plan the design for your beaded heart. Choose beads of various sizes, shapes, and colors to create a visually appealing heart shape.
Create the Beaded Heart
To create the heart shape, string the chosen beads and leaves onto a length of beading wire. You can arrange them any way you like or follow a beading design. Once the design is to your satisfaction, use the wire to form a closed loop.
Prepare Filigree Leaves
Insert the flat-headed pin into the filigree leaves. With the beaded heart placed inside.
Create the Base Loop
Leave about a half-inch of the pin above the foliage. Bend the pin back toward the beads with round-nose pliers to form a loop. Bend the pin again at a 90-degree angle, but this time in the opposite direction, to form the top of the heart. This will form the opposite side of the heart. Wrap the excess pin around the straight portion to form the loop.
Trim Excess Pin
Use wire cutters to trim any excess flat headpin, ensuring a neat finish.
Adjust the Shape
Make sure the loop at the top is centered and that both sides of the heart are symmetrical by carefully adjusting its shape with your fingers.
Insert the Heart Bead
Attach the heart-shaped bead’s hole to the connector’s bail. Ensure that the bead is in the middle of the bail.
Add A Necklace Chain
Thread the necklace chain through the clasp bail connector and close it securely. Make any final adjustments to the pendant and chain.
