TIPS:
* Cut the tabs off the back of the Arte Metal leaf heart. File the cuts smooth.
* Add the eye pin to the 14mm rhinestone-ball bead and form a simple loop. Attach the tassel to the bottom loop. With a jump ring, attach the top loop to the Arte Metal pendant.
* Cut the suede lace in half.
* For each side, fold the cord in half and string on the beads as pictured; adjust bead placement.
* Use fine wire (24-gauge), bent in half and twisted, as a needle. Just untwist the wire to remove it from the cord.
* Finish the cord ends with crimp-ends, using jump rings to attach the magnetic clasp
to the crimp-end loops.
* Use jump rings to attach the cords to the Arte Metal pendant.
