What You Need:
• Heart-shaped cookie cutter
• 16-gauge wire
• Assorted beads (make sure the holes are large enough to accommodate the wire)
• Needle-nose pliers
• Ribbon
 |
Step 1: Make a thankful list. Include the people and things for which you are thankful. Step 2: Choose one bead to represent each person or thing on your list. |
|
Step 3: Cut a length of wire that is approximately four times the diameter of the cookie cutter. For example, the cookie cutter we used was 6 inches in diameter, so we used a 24-inch piece of wire
|
 |
Step 5: Using the needle-nose pliers, take the end of wire that is part of the heart shape and create one loop around the heart to secure it. |
|
Step 6: Now comes the fun part! String a couple of your beads on the remaining wire. Pull the wire across the heart. Loop the wire around the heart. Continue adding beads and pulling the wire across the heart until you are done. |
 |
Step 7: Loop a piece of ribbon through the heart to wear it as a necklace or make it part of the decorations in your room. |
