Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new bracelet is one of my favorite seed-bead-only designs, and I’m posting it in time to make for Valentine’s Day! Because it is made of only seed beads, it is light weight, thin, and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations, and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!
Materials
You need 11/0 round seed beads in two colors for this bracelet, TOHO or Czech, as long as both colors are the same type. You will also need two 6/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the clasp.
In the samples shown below, the silver hearts framed with red, and the white hearts framed in pink were made with smaller Czech beads, where 11 hearts in the first row makes about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Simply add hearts to make it longer (each heart adds about 1/2-inch). The gold hearts framed in grey, and the red hearts framed in silver were made with TOHO (larger) seed beads. With TOHO seed beads, 10 hearts in the first row made about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Each heart you add will add slightly more than 1/2″ to the bracelet.

Добрый вечер!
Большое спасибо, всегда очень красивые украшения, носибельны, хорошо лежат и хорошо смотрятся!
Have made 3 of these so far. Thanks for sharing! Your diagrams are superb! Thank you for publishing this pattern.
I do have a problem with row 2 step 5. My clusters of 3 between the two clusters of two seem to ratchet around the top of the top row and no matter how loose (or tight) I sew, they curl up . Do you have insight on how to remedy this for me?
Thank you again for such a simple, easy, and fabulous bracelet pattern.
