Directions:
Step 1:  First, we'll assemble the center dangle.  Onto an eye pin, place 1 S/P Round, 1 Ruby Heart, 1 S/P Round, 1 Pink Heart, 1 S/P Round, 1 Ruby Heart, and 1 S/P Round.  Using a wire cutter, cut off the excess eye pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using flat nose pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using a round nose pliers bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop.

Step 2:  Onto a head pin, place 1 S/P Round, 1 Ruby Heart, 1 S/P Round, 1 Pink Heart, 1 S/P Round.  Finish by making a loop as described in step one.  Repeat for a total of two dangles.

Step 3:  Open a jump ring and insert all three pieces from Steps 1 and 2 and close jump ring.

Step 4:  Onto a head pin place 1 S/P Round, 1 Ruby Heart, 1 S/P Round.  Finish by making a loop.  Repeat for a total of two head pins.  Repeat one more time, but with a pink heart.

Step 5:  Open the end of the large eye pin section from Step 1 (the end without the jump ring) and insert all three head pins from Step 4 and close.  Your center dangle is now completed...just put to the side for now.

Step 6:  Cut a 20" piece of Softflex. String one crimp bead, create a loop through one end of the toggle clasp and back through the crimp bead, crush the crimp bead. Cut the tail.

Step 7:  Onto the Soft Flex, string (through the top of the heart) 1 Ruby Heart, 1 S/P Round, 1 Pink Heart, 1 S/P Round.  Repeat a total of 12 times.  String on 1 Ruby Heart, your center dangle through the jump ring.  String on 1 Pink Heart through the bottom (all hearts will now be strung through the bottom).  String on 1 S/P Round, 1 Ruby Heart, 1 S/P Round, and 1 Pink Heart, 1 S/P Round.  Repeat a total of 12 times.

Step 8:  String your Soft Flex through a crimp bead and the opposite end of the toggle clasp.  Loop back through the crimp bead and crush.

Step 9:  Open a jump ring and insert the Made with Love charm.  Loop jump ring into the end of the round section of the toggle clasp and close the jump ring.

Step 10:  Put on your new necklace and enjoy!
