Thank you for making this tute Anne. I haven't had a chance to make it as yet but the instructions look far easier than other versions that I have tried. Can I email you if I get lost please?

Ive made it now and I love it to bits. So much so that I've ordered more crystals to make more of them. Thanks Anne.

I love this pendant! I have to say it has taken me a few attempts to get it right (my fault though, not reading the directions properly) and I did end up putting in a bead that isn't supposed to be there (again my fault, I was all excited cause I had very nearly finished that I added a bead at the top of the heart just before closing it up lol, only i didn't realise till i had glued all my knots.) I will definitely be doing this one again, just have to stock up on beads first :) Thanks anne for a great tute!

I really love this puffed heart. I found it on a website during Octobers Breast Cancer awareness and was offering the video on making it...I watched it but didn't have beads at the time. When i went back to make it, I found out it was only free for that month so I missed out :( But YAY I found it here (not free but at least at a place that I can trust)!!! :)
But I have to ask, you wrote you can use faceted round beads..does that really work? Do you have a picture with the rounds used? Maybe its just me, but it seems it just wouldn't look properly.

You're right, round beads wouldn't fit together as tightly because they don't have the same corners to fill in the spaces. I don't have a photo, but you can get the idea with pictures of right-angle weave with round beads. Thanks for trying my tutorial and I'm glad to hear that you love it! Anne
