Gain some inspiration on how to use a wood heart form to create a sweet ornament in this PotomacBeads tutorial. The Blooming Heart Ornament is a fun project full of color that you can use to hang in the window, from a door or anywhere you’d like to brighten up with some floral beauty.

1. Put a size 10 beading needle onto some size 8 DragonThread. Add a stop bead near the end of the thread. Bring the needle up through the back of one of the holes in the filigree laser cut heart form. Pick up a lucite vintage style flower. Add a Czech flower cap bead to the middle of the resin flower bead. Pick up an 11/0 seed bead and sew back down through both of the flower beads to the back of the wood form.

2. Watch the Blooming Heart Ornament tutorial to follow along with Anna as she shows you how to decorate the wooden heart form and shares different design ideas for you to create your own unique heart ornament.

3. When you have filled the laser cut beading form, bring the thread ends together and tie off. Use a thread burner to burn the edges flush into the project. Decide how you would like to hang the beaded ornament. Create a loop out of 11/0 seed beads large enough for your desired use.

The Blooming Heart Ornament is a quick project that you can have a lot of fun with. Create a floral bouquet with beautiful Czech glass beads and vintage style lucite flower beads to decorate your house or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
