How do you make a crystal beaded heart?
It kinda looks like this:

I want to make it out of fishing line though and that one in the picture is made with wires and I have two colors I'm using. The beads I have are rounded. The directions from how that picture is made is different from how my friend showed me, and I want to continue with how my friend taught me.
I don't know

Use Attractive Crystal Beads To Create Dashing Jewelry Pieces
It's quite straightforward to produce your own custom-made jewelry patterns using Swarovski crystal beads and clear flexible beading wire. You can fetch these crystal stunners at your neighborhood art and craft shop or from online bead providers. Insert a crystal prism for a dazzling necklace or hang down teardrop crystals on vibrant beaded earrings. You can generate these uncomplicated design modes effortlessly and speedily, with no prior experience in making jewelry required.
Unite a teardrop gemstone prism and Swarovski crystal beads to create a necklace that fits very well into different situations, whether an outing in the evening or a day at the workplace. You'll feel the necessity of a lucid flexible beading wire, more for clearness than suppleness. Think about interchanging the beads with dual tones, vogues and sizes, besides the sparkler prism pendant. Both 4 mm and 6 mm beadings suit well for a necklace strand with crystal beads. To create an 18 inch necklace, cut 22 inches of wiring and wind the prism to the middle. You can craft both ends of the necklace at the same time by sewing the beads one after another on one end and then the other.
Interchange the beadings, starting with your darkest tone next to the prism in the middle, till both sides are made full up to 2 inches from the endpoints of the wire. Affix a magnet clasp for doing on and off quite easily; wind a crimp bead to begin with, after that the clasp. Wind the wire back down through the tucked bead and the opening few beads at the last part of the thread prior to the closedown of the crimp bead using a pinching pair of pliers.
You can also create plain earrings out of crystal beads using French wire collection of tools, headpins and round-nose pliers. Interchange 4 mm beads with complementary seed beads in line with the length of the headpin. Form a ring at the finishing point of the pin applying round-nose pliers and clasp them on top of a French earwire. This straightforward pattern is well-suited for a 1 inch headpin; however you can also create more extended drooping with both lengthier headpins and ending beads with side holes to hang at the finish of your headpin. It is easy to produce the dropping; just wind the headpin through the side of your end bead and after that twist the headpin in a perpendicular angle before winding more number of crystals.
Moving forward, you can make a crystal bead bracelet with 3 strands using interchanging 6 mm rondelles and 4 mm rounds from the Swarovski ensemble. Opt for complementary shades of the same color for this crystal beadwork, such as lilac and purple or fuchsia and pink. You can form an outstanding dissimilarity with black and white or sky-blue and opal. Compute the length of lucid flexible beading wire you require and make three strands out of it. Keep in mind to add extra 2 inches, so you can attach the strands to the three-opening clasp. Wind two strands precisely the same, starting and finishing with the 6 mm crystals. These will be your strings on the sides. For the middle strand or string, start and finish with the 4 mm crystals. You can make use of tucked beads or knots to affix the strands to the clasp firmly and tightly.
