- 1). Cut a length of craft wire to the desired length. Use wire snippers to cut the wire from the spool. The bracelet will need to slide over your hand once it's bent into a heart shape. Leave 1 inch of extra length. If you're unsure how long the wire should be, opt for about 10 inches; it can be cut down if necessary.
- 2). Bend the wire into a heart shape, with the dip in the top center of the heart at the middle of the length of wire. The ends of the wire will be twisted together at the bottom of the heart to form the point.
- 3). Thread the beads onto the wire. Use solid pink or solid red, or use assorted colors or patterns, like alternating pink and red beads. Leave at least 1/2 inch of exposed wire at each end.
- 4). Twist the ends of the wire together to form the bottom point of the heart. This will also secure the beads on the wire. The twisted section should be about 1/2-inch-long. If necessary, cut off excess wire with wire snippers.
- 5). File the tips of the wire using a metal file. Refine the heart shape by gently bending the wire.
