I made these simple wire heart necklaces this weekend, just in time for Valentine's Day.
You just need a few supplies...
19 gauge dark wire, vintage lace, vintage photo, buttons, ribbon, mica, tape measure, beads, pliers and wire cutters.
Steps to make the heart: Cut a piece of wire approximately 8" long. Make a loop in the middle. Bend the wires down to form the heart. Make one twist at the bottom of the heart. With a pair of round nose pliers, twirl up each wire end.
Cut a small piece of lace and glue on vintage photo and piece of mica. Sew the lace onto one side of the wire heart.
Embellish with button, beads and tape measure piece. The necklace below I used two hearts.
This is a quick simple project to make for your friends.
Have a Happy Valentines Day!

Cut a piece of ribbon, about 24" long and tie each end to the top of the heart. I used sari ribbon, which has a nice soft rustic look.
Luv your necklaces - very cute and shabby!
