A heart is one of the easiest shapes to bead well: a bold silhouette in one or two colors that reads clearly even at a small size. This design uses a single red with a few lighter Blush beads for a subtle highlight, so it stays crisp and quick to build.

- Prefer to tweak it? Open the maker, recreate or import the shape, and change colors, size or details — it recounts the beads live.
- Fuse with parchment and a warm iron per your bead brand’s instructions, and let it cool flat.
