This little beaded shape has so much creative potential. In the picture you see here, I’m using it as a mini photo frame for a picture of my husband and me. It’s attached to one of my 12” x 12” scrapbooking layouts. If you’re curious about what the entire layout looks like, you can click here to see it.

I’m thinking this design would also work well for making ornaments, appliques, and many other things.

Once you’re familiar with the technique for making this heart, you can adapt it for crocheting similar shapes of your own imagining. I also have a pattern for a beaded snowflake made using the same technique.</p>
