You’ll need the following tools and materials to make this triple heart lariat:
1: Pliers. I used my flat nose pliers and round nose pliers for this design.
2: Three pieces of chain, two that add up to be long enough to fit around your neck and one small piece around 6cm long. I used this silver rolo chain.
3: Three small jump rings.
4: A lobster clasp.
5: Three small glass heart beads. I used these yellow floral glass beads.
6: Two eye pins.
7: One head pin.
Follow these steps to make your love heart lariat:
1: Add one of the jump rings to one side of one of the long pieces of chain.
2: Add the lobster clasp to this jump ring.
3: Close the jump ring to secure the clasp in place.
4: Add another jump ring to the second long piece of chain. Close it to secure it onto the chain.
5: Clip the two pieces of chain together.
6: Join the other ends of the necklace using the last jump ring and slide on the smaller chain before closing the jump rings.
7: Set the lariat aside.
8: Add a bead to each of the eye pins and the head pin.
9: Bend each pin to form a right angle and then curl the top into a loop using the round nose pliers.
10: Attach the three charms together to form a chain.
11: Attach the three hearts to the bottom of the lariat chain, close the top loop to secure the beads in place.
Now your triple love heart lariat is finished and ready to wear! So cute and fun!
