Learn how to make heart-shaped bead charms with this step-by-step photo and video tutorial.
Hello crafty friends! I have a fun and simple bead craft to share with you today. I will show you how to turn any round beads into the cutest heart shaped charms.
You can use these cute hearts to make cute earrings, key chains, pendants or anything else you can dream up. You only need a few supplies and once you learn how, you can whip up these sweet pies in less than 30 minutes.
Let me walk you through exactly how to make them. Here are the supplies you’ll need:
Required materials

You can use any size or style of round bead for this craft, but I recommend a fairly thin jewelry wire because you will need to be able to thread the wire through the bead holes several times to be able to complete the design.
The larger the bead you use, the larger your finished heart will be.
Instructions
This is definitely one of those projects that is hard to describe but easy to understand once you see someone do it, so I recommend scrolling down to watch the video tutorial.
I will do my best to provide written instructions as well! Here is a snapshot of each step.
I also drew a diagram for each step because I think it’s easier to see what’s going on. The different parts of the heart are illustrated in different colors to help you understand the different steps.
