Valentine’s Day is coming up. Do you have some pretty jewelry to wear? This is the perfect necklace to change out all month. The beauty of it is that the heart is timeless and you can really wear it year round.

So grab those beading supplies and join me as I make an interchangeable Valentine’s day Necklace. Yep I said “interchangeable.”

Supplies:

Instructions:

1.  Figure out your color scheme and gather various beads in your colors.   Insert a headpin through your bead and make a basic loop with your round nose and chain nose pliers.  

Don’t know how to do that?  

Here is a video tutorial on how to make basic loops.

2.   Make a bunch of those and then grab a small length of chain.  

Open your basic loop and add those to the small length of chain, close your loop with your chain nose pliers.  

I added two beads on each larger chain loop and then one in the smaller chain loop.

3.  When you are done adding all of the beads open up the end of the chain and add a lobster clasp onto it.  

Now you have one interchangeable cluster of beads.

4.  Grab your heart and add a jump ring and a length of chain onto each side.

I like mine longer so it hangs lower.

My chain is 25” long which allow me to slip it over my head so there is no need to add a clasp.

5.  Now add your lobster clasp onto the bottom of the heart.

When you feel like changing it out then undo the lobster clasp and add a new cluster.

I am a big fan of beaded clusters, however, you can add any drop pendants you want to this necklace.  

Since it is interchangeable the sky is the limit.

  2. I never can get headpins to look good, they never curl right for me. So I'll just look at yours because they're pretty. 🙂

  3. How pretty!! I like bead clusters too. 🙂 You have a lovely piece there. 🙂

    This is gorgeous, I love, love it and I am completely charmed (no pun intended) by it. To go the extra step and collaborate with the etsy seller is fabulous! Nice hustle and you leave me no excuse not to whip one up myself!
    You're creativity is inspiring and I thank you!

  15. Oh I love this! Thanks for sharing. I have a lot of beads that I love but only have one or they don't really match anything totally. It would be great to put a bunch on a chain and still be able to wear them. 🙂

  16. I love your necklace! I actually bought some necklaces in a similar design for my nieces for Christmas. They loved them so much, I decided to order some supplies so I can make some for my shop. Hopefully mine will turn out as pretty as yours!

  17. This is so pretty! I love the idea of an interchangable necklace! One of these days I am going to learn to make jewelry! 🙂 M*
