Create a beautiful beaded Valentine’s Day heart using sequins, seed beads, stitch on rhinestones, and stunning Czech glass mixes from John Bead.

In this step by step tutorial, you will learn how to cut and layer stiff Good Felt beading felt, stitch clean rows of sequins with bead stoppers, outline shapes with seed beads, and build a dimensional flower using sew on rhinestones and hot pink bugle beads. You will also see how to neatly finish the back so your piece looks polished and professional.

This project is perfect for Valentine’s Day decor, brooches, gift toppers, or handmade keepsakes. The mix of reds, pinks, and sparkling details makes it feel rich, textured, and full of charm.
