Directions:  
Step 1:  Cut a piece of the Silver Plated Wire to desired length.  You want enough to go through the heart with some left over to wrap the heart (see picture).

Step 2:  Thread the wire through the heart from the large end of the heart to the small end and make a small loop at the end.

Step 3:  At the other end make a loop and twist.  Now just wrap the wire over the heart any way you like.  To finish, thread the wire through the loop at the small end of the heart and curl the wire into a circle.  You will want to play with the wire to get it the way you want.

Step 4:  Manipulate the loop at the top of the heart so that the heart faces forward when you thread it onto the Beadalon.

Step 5:  Cut 18-20 inches of Beadalon.

Step 6:  Thread the heart onto the Beadalon. Place a pony bead on either side of the heart.

Step 7:  String, a 4mm amethyst round, a pony bead, a seed bead, a silver plated round, a seed bead, a pony bead, and a 6mm amethyst round, a pony bead, a seed bead, a silver plated round, a seed bead, and a pony bead.  Repeat this pattern 4 times.

Step 8:  String a 4mm amethyst round, a pony bead, a seed bead, a silver plated round, a seed bead, a pony bead.  Repeat 1 time.

Step 9:  String a crimp bead and one end of the toggle and then thread the Beadalon back through the crimp bead.  Snug up the crimp to the toggle and crush crimp bead.  Cut off excess Beadalon or thread through beads.

Step 10:  Repeat Steps 7 to 9 on the other side of the heart. Enjoy!
