Perfect for your after Christmas decor, this heart uses red beads to mimic winter berries and the heart shape will carry you all the way through till spring.
Things you’ll need:
12 gauge wire
Wire cutters
String of red berry beads
Ribbon or string
Things to do:
1. Cut a length of wire about three feet long.
2. Thread the beads onto the wire. You can leave the beads strung on the thread as you wire them to make keeping them together easier and then trim the thread and excess beads off once it’s full or you can string them one by one.
3. Find the halfway point and bend in half, Using your knee or something rounded as a guide, shape the top of the heart on either side of the bend.
4. Pull the ends together and twist the wire to lock it in place. Trim away any excess wire and hang with a ribbon or string.
