Woven pendant with ex-voto heart

How to weave an ex-voto heart?

In this bead weaving tutorial, our creative partner Sophie aka Elyconia, teaches you how to make this beautiful ex-voto heart pendant. This creation was created using the brick stitch technique. In the video, we take you step-by-step through the process, providing detailed explanations and teaching you how to weave this original and exclusive shape and pattern.

To make the pendant, you can download the detailed chart of the ex-voto pattern in pdf format, along with the corresponding bead colors. However, I strongly advise you to follow this tutorial in its entirety, especially when it comes to finishing the lathe with the Seed beads and multi-faceted beads, as well as the fastening and hooking points for mounting your pendant on the proposed chain. You'll have no trouble understanding and completing all the steps, even if you're new to bead weaving. However, for beginners or as a reminder, you can refer to our technical sheets to learn the brick stitch technique.

We've designed this pendant in the colors of the seasons and in shades of purple and blue, but of course you're free to create your own color combinations and adapt them to each season or event. We have a wide choice of Delica beads on the site, so feel free to make your own selection. For the chain, we've chosen to offer a choker, but you can also take a chain cut to a longer length if you wish to wear it as a long necklace, for example. It will look great stacked with other, shorter necklaces.

If you reproduce this tutorial, we invite you to share your creation with us on social networks by mentioning @perlesandco and @elyconia on your publication. We love to see the beautiful creations you make! Ready, set, create!
