This iridescent yellow ceramicMexican ex-voto heart bead can be used to create a wide range of DIY costume jewelry!
What is a heart-shaped ex-voto? An ex-voto is a symbol of faith and gratitude. It is used to express thanks for a wish that has come true or a grace that has been granted. Very common in Mexico, heart-shaped ex-votos are hung on the walls of homes, in churches, or in stores to serve as good-luck charms.
How do you make beaded jewelry?
Add your heart-shaped bead to a good-luck bracelet inspired by Mexican heart ex-votos. To do this, you’ll need a jewelry pin. Be careful: make sure the head of the pin doesn’t go through the hole in the earring.
Make a charm bracelet: mix and match the beads of your choice on elastic thread (Rondelle beads, gemstone beads, pearl beads, etc.) along with your heart-shaped bead. Finish with a surgeon’s knot, and you’re all set!
