Instructions: 1. Glue the crystal heart on the bottom of the rectangle of stiff stuff (basic textile white) with jewelry glue, holding the tip at about 1.5 cm from the edge. Let the glue dry before you start working. 2. Embroider a pearl loop around the crystal (about 3mm), placing the first pearl at the center of the heart, as shown 3. Proceed this way: thread two pearls in the needles, work into the stiff stuff rectangle on the side of the heart, to allow enough room for the pearls. 4. Go back to the center of the pearls with the needle, and add two more. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you get closer to the tip of the heart. You should have a total of 10 pearls in place. 6. Lock in the Rose Peach bicone from the tip of the heart, sewing downwards and coming back into the base, so that you can also process the other side. 7. Sew in 9 more pearls on the side of the crystal, as shown within steps 3 and 4. 8. Sew in a 4mm Pink Coral pearl on top of the crystal. Thread in the pearl and a golden rocaille, and fix it to the textile base. Sew out of the textile base next to the Pink Coral pearl, so that you can already start a new loop. 24| April-May | RitzyToo! | RitzyToo.com
