  Step 1

  Start by cutting 15cm of 1mm wire, and make a loop in the middle of about 2mm, with the ends of the wire coming out with an angle of 90 degrees between them.

• 

  Step 2

  Make another loop of the same size with the wire coming underneath, making sure the wire goes over this time and lies flat next to the other length.

• 

  Step 3

  Now make a third loop of the same size on the opposite side using the other length of wire, and bring it underneath so the two lengths of wire again come out at a 90 degree angle from each other.

• 

  Step 4

  Make a larger loop of approximately 7mm further up the wire on one side, and leave the wire length going out to the side.

• 

  Step 5

  Repeat on the other side, making sure the two loops are equal size and meet in the middle without overlapping and no space between them.

• 

  Step 6

  Take a short length of 0.4mm wire, and start wrapping it around the two wires where they meet underneath the cleft of the heart.

• 

  Step 7

  Wrap the wire around 6-7 times, and finish each end of by wrapping it around one of the base wires and cutting of the excess.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut each of the base wire lengths down to the point where they meet the edge of the heart.

• 

  Step 9

  Using a pair of round nose pliers curl each end upwards to achieve a horseshoe shape on either side within the heart. Your basic heart is now done.
