L th th next 1 beads @ bottom
cross 1 bead (at this point you are done w/ this part and you can thread the wire through some beads and then tie a secure knot.. right over left, left over right, right over left)

Now you need a 50 cm long string
Thread Through 2 beads on the top side of the heard (heart facing you sideways)

cross 1 bead on L
R th th 1 bead on R
1 bead on R
cross 1 bead on R
L th th 2 beads on L
cross 1 bead
now you can thread your wire through some beads and tie a knot
and you are done..
ok if you want  your heart to have more strength and shape.. when the top part is open add some larger beads to the inside before you close it up.

   now to make the loop at the top:
string about 10-15 cm of wire through 2 beads at the top middle of the heart.
add about 3-4 bead on the R & L side of the string and cross 1 bead. Re-thread both side back down the rest of the beads and 1 side back to the other side and tie a knot.
  Now you are done and ready to BLING!
