Holidays, how few of them there are, and yet sometimes the soul so lacks romance. That is why, in a completely miraculous way, in February there is such a holiday as St. Valentine's Day.
According to the customs of this holiday, lovers and people who have sympathy exchange small notes with confessions in the form of hearts, the so-called "valentines".
Valentines are bought, made from chocolate, cardboardand other materials, in our master class we offer to make valentines from beads. Beads are a rich, delicate material that will give your message even more romanticism.
Moreover, the shape of your valentine can be any:a keychain, a pendant, just an element in home decoration, in general, as your imagination wishes. In order to determine in what form exactly you see your message to a person who is not indifferent to you, look at photos on the Internet and in relevant handicraft magazines.
Here are two versions of master classes, in which, using step-by-step schemes, you can make unique compositions with your own hands.

Valentine's bead in the technique of a square bundle

To work needed:

• large beads, for making the heart itself;
• any beads of your choice, with which you will decorate your composition;
• fishing line thickness of 0.20 mm;
• thin needle;
• satin ribbon and chain, also for decoration.

To create valentines from beads master classWill use the technique of a "square bundle" or as it is also called a "square bar". The main element in the scheme is a cube. So on a photo the scheme of "a square plait" for weaving our heart looks:








You start the weaving process with 15 of these cubes.Do not forget about the tension of the line, so your columns should be tight, and not too sluggish. Then weave a column of 14 cubes, while forming a right angle. So the sides of your product should have the same dimensions, but remember that the first column of one side is the last for the other. The elements are also connected by means of common cubes.

Now we turn the product at a right angle,directing it towards you. We bring the ends of the column towards us, connect them and sew them, keeping the right angle of the composition. And now we have a heart. In order for the construction to be more durable, you can additionally secure it with beads.
These decorative beads can be largersize and distinctive from the main color of the heart. If you want to make your Valentine more original, replace the beads with chopped ones, so your heart will not only be elegant, but also sparkle.
We draw your attention to the fact that if you doYou still haven't managed to make the composition tighter, but you can still fix it. To do this, tighten the finished heart with a fishing line and decorate it with beads.
So the main part of your product is ready, but you should think about the presentation. For this, you can use a satin ribbon, a chain and larger beads.
Alternatively, you can make two hearts, different in size, which are sewn together with a satin ribbon. The ends of the ribbon are decorated with a bead and large beads.

So the beaded valentine “Me and You” is ready!

Delicate hearts with wings

This master class on creating a very delicate and romantic composition is suitable for especially loving natures.
For this heart, you will need:

• beads, medium size;
• transparent glass beads, 2 mm in diameter;
• fishing line or thread;
• If you want to attach the composition as a keychain or pendant, take some more connecting rings.

Immediately, we note that this master class is not simple, only those who have already had experience with beads and its complicated circuits will be able to cope with it.
Our entire composition will be woven on one working thread. We start, as in the diagram, with the first link. To do this, first we collect 3 faceted beads and three simple beads, then we close the ring.

Next we weave four more links, in each ofwhich contain the same number of beads and seed beads. The sequence of their alternation should be as follows: bead - bead - bead - bead - bead. We weave each of the newly formed links with the previous one.
The diagram is given to you, first of all, so that you can constantly control yourself during the work. When the last link is completed, you need to pick up one bead and pass it through the bead of the first link.
Compare your result with the diagram and photo of the finished product.
Next step: pick up one bead, then one bead and one bead again. With a set of such beads we pass through the beads of the previous link and then again through only woven links.
We weave each new link of our heart strictly according to the pattern. And now, when you have come to the execution of the eleventh step, our pattern, you can finish weaving the first part of the heart.

Next, the second half of the heart is woven.So in your diagram you will already have the outlines of the first half and your new links. For convenience, it is always better to have a visual diagram in front of you. Therefore, it is better to redraw or print the photo from the article.
Our heart will be completely ready at step 27 of our diagram.
Wings will add a special romanticism to our product. We will also make the wings with our own hands from beads. In our work we will use only one thread.
For the wings, we will take beads of a larger diameter. This way, the wings will have a thinner shape at the base than at the edge.
We begin weaving the edge of the wings from the eighth step of our diagram. From this point on, the main part of the wing begins to be present in the overall picture of weaving, which you can also follow in the diagram.

Afterwards, the wings are woven into the designated places. Rings and a chain will help to complete the composition. With the help of these decorative elements, we will give the product a finished look.
This way, you can make a unique pendant or a romantic, one-of-a-kind keychain from a heart with wings.
Place the finished products on a light background andtake a photo to share your creations with others. If our simple patterns and DIY tips came to your aid, then share your impressions and add your comments.
We are sure that your loved ones have never received such wonderful valentines that you made with your own hands. Enjoy the process and the warmest emotions!
