MAGNETIC HEART CLASP

You can use any magnetic clasp for this design as long as it has a CLOSED loop on each side. You can find the heart clasps used in the tutorial here.

BEADING THREAD

I like nylon beading thread best for this project. I use Miyuki beading thread in smoke with the stainless steel color clasp and tan with the gold color claps.

BEADING NEEDLE

I use two types of beading needles for this project. A big eye beading needle and a standard size 10 beading needle.

TOOLS

You will need a pair of scissors to cut your thread and a ruler to measure the length of your thread and necklace length.
