Stage 1

Cut 120cm of chain. Set the rest aside for the bracelet. Cut 1m of Elasticity, and thread through each link to gather up the chain.

Stage 2

Knot one end of the Elasticity to the end link of the chain. Move the gathered chain along the Elasticity and knot the Elasticity to the other end of the chain so that it measures approximately 32cm. Move the chain so that it is bunched in the centre. Trim the excess Elasticity.

Stage 3

Thread a large heart bead point end first onto a headpin. Trim 1cm above the bead, bend into a loop and attach to the centre of the chain. Close the loop.

Stage 4

Add 18 more large hearts along 16cm in the centre of the bunched section. Add 12 small hearts so in the same way.

Stage 5

Add an accent of colour among the beads in the same way using ten 4mm green miracle beads.

Stage 6

Make two chains of five 8mm jump rings and add them to each end of your necklace. Add a trigger clasp to one end. Add extra jump rings if you want a longer necklace.

Stage 7

To make the earrings
Thread a miracle bead, a 10mm heart followed by a 4mm miracle onto a headpin. Trim the headpin 1cm above the bead, bend into a loop, attach a long ballwire and close the loop. Repeat to make a pair.
To make the bracelet
Thread your remaining Elasticity through the remaining chain in the same way as the necklace, bunch the chain together tightly. Tie the Elasticity ends together tightly and trim any excess. Add a bead to a headpin, trim and bend into a loop. Add to the bracelet and close the loop. Repeat to add al of your remaining beads to the bracelet.
This is what your finished set should look like.
