  Making The Patterns

  Step 1: Fold a small piece of paper in half.

• 

  Step 2

  Step 2: Draw half a heart on the folded edge and cut it out.

• 

  Step 3

  Step 3: Measure a 1/4" above the dip in the heart and mark on the fold.

• 

  Step 4

  Step 4: Move the heart up so the dip is at the mark and trace around the curve.

• 

  Step 5

  Step 5: Connect the two open sides with a ruler and pencil. Cut out the heart.

• 

  Step 6

  Step 6: Repeat steps 3 thru 5 with the elongated heart you just cut out. Then cut out the new heart.

• 

  Step 7

  When you're done the 3 hearts will look like this:

• 

  Step 8

  Step 7: Fold a the pattern for the smallest heart in half again and make a hole on near the top with an awl. When you open the heart again you'll have 2 evenly spaced holes.

  Step 9

  The Necklace
  Step 1: Use the patterns to trace and cut out three hearts on the back of small leather scraps.

• 

  Step 10

  Step 2: Cleanly cut out each of the hearts.

• 

  Step 11

  Step 3: Arrange the 3 pieces in order of size with the largest is on the bottom, then the medium and the smallest on top. (You can put a little bit of double stick tape on to the backs of the two smaller pieces to temporarily keep everything in place.)

• 

  Step 12

  Step 4: Lay the pattern over the smallest heart and make holes through the leather by placing an awl into the two holes on the pattern.

• 

  Step 13

  Step 5: Insert jump rings into the the holes. Attach chain on to each jump ring and close. Finish by attaching a clasp to one of the ends of chain.

• 

  Step 14

  **As another option for finishing the necklace you can place one hole though the leather near the center top and string with a waxed thread. Adding a bead or two should give the extra weight needed for it to hang right.
