Well it says Valentines Jewelry in the title, but really heart shaped beads can be worn at any time of the year. That is why it is so great to learn how to make this great polymer clay bead shape.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many cool ways to make heart beads too. Coming up on Friday Jaunary 15th at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> will be the Heart Shaped Beads video tutorial (Volume-020-2).<\/span><\/p>\n

In it I will show you how to create two different styled heart beads with tons of variations. You will also learn how to add your own polymer clay cane slices if you want to make a millefiori heart bead, just in time for Valentines Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would love to see more in your valentines series. That combination is an amazing piece for sure. I really like the way you combined those pieces together and came up with a unique, one of kind heart shaped bead. Keep up the great work. <\/span><\/span>~Drew-G<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hello Cindy. Boy do I look forward to Fridays now thanks to you. I can’t wait to see what you will post next. And I’m never disappointed! This week is no exception. Another finger dancin video I must say. Cause you know the minute I see your e-mail in the inbox my fingers start itchin for some clay. And I luuurv your purple heart shaped bead! I’d join the army if they gave me one of those! The Fimo army that is. Only extruder guns here, lol. Do you ever make a bad video? Probably not right? No chance of maybe a hidden blooper reel or two? Just askin, hee hee hee. XOXO <\/span> <\/span><\/span>~Jaime-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy your tips as with all of your posts, are very helpful. I have found that there is no “right” way to do something. It all just depends on how you yourself see it and what is easier for you to handle. Like the heart pin I made. I made it my way and I like it. Thank you and your DH for all that you do for us. <\/span><\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Linda-G<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love the heart shape beads… they are perfect for giving to the people we really love. <\/span> <\/span><\/span>~Jane-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The following two comments are not specifically about heart beads, but they do make reference to Valentines Day… so I decided to slip them in here too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think it is the instant gratification that polymer clay gives me more then any other medium. Although some techniques require hours and sometimes days of effort and concentration, I love to be able to sit down and within minutes become inspired to create something new and unique. For instance, I never create a “Valentines Line” but last week I spent the evening at the clay table just playing with my little girl and the next I know I have more then 20 pieces with a distinct Valentine’s Day theme! <\/span><\/span>~Shannon-L<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For Valentine’s Day, my husband decided to take me shopping (early) for all the polymer clay supplies my little heart desired. I’ve been designing jewelry with vintage pieces coupled with new beads… and I stumbled upon the idea for creating my own beads last week.\u00a0 Been reading all I can find on the process, and came upon your site this evening. My head is pleasantly spinning! I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight! Your work is amazing, Cindy, but even more amazing is your willingness to teach. Your site is better than chocolate. And I really, REALLY like chocolate. <\/span><\/span>~Bonnie-B<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
