Materials:

For the small heart, about one inch high:

• 1 yard 4 lb. FireLine

• Approximately 65 size 15/0 seed beads
(I used Miyuki Bronze 15-0457. Can be purchased online at FireMountainGems.com (although for some reason, they call them metallic dark gold instead of bronze), WhimBeads.com and FoxdenDesigns.com)

• 25 garnet size 3mm fire-polished beads
(I used Czech Garnet. Can be purchased at FireMountainGems.com)

• 14 bronze size 3mm fire-polished beads
(I used Czech Light Bronze. Can be purchased at FireMountainGems.com)

• two 2-4mm open jump rings

• two 8- or 9-inch lengths of chain with clasp

For the larger heart, about 1 3⁄4 inches high:

• 2 yards 6 lb. FireLine

• Approximately 65 size 11/0 seed beads
(I used Miyuki Lt. Bronze 11-0457L. Can be purchased online at FoxdenDesigns.com. Or Miyuki Bronze 11-0457 from WhimBeads.com)

• 25 garnet size 4mm fire-polished beads
(I used Czech Garnet. Can be purchased at FireMountainGems.com)

• 14 bronze size 4mm fire-polished beads
(I used Czech Light Bronze. Can be purchased at FireMountainGems.com)

• two 4-6mm open jump rings

• two 8- or 9-inch lengths of chain with clasp

You will use the same directions for the small heart and the larger heart, just different sized beads. Since the beads used in creating the larger heart are bigger, you may wish to start with the large heart first to get an idea of how the pattern works.
