Make this necklace for your friend who has three children and makes it look
like a walk in the park. Three floating hearts hang from a strand of leather
above a small envelope locket. Inside the locket is a metal note saying ‘I
love you’ but you could replace it with a picture of those three sweeties.
No children? The hearts could easily be you and your sisters, or those three
puppies you love to come home to.
Finished length 17 inches, adjustable
Line up both sections of leather in on fold
over end. Crimp end tightly with your chain
nose pliers. Finish other end of leather
cording with remaining fold over end.

locket

Using your chain nose pliers open a 3x4 mm

one of the loops on the envelope locket and
around the 18 inch leather strand. Repeat
with remaining oval jump ring on the other
side of the envelope locket.
Using your chain nose pliers open a 5 mm
jump ring and thread it through one of the
small puffed heart charms and around the
16 inch leather strand. Repeat to attach the

Using your chain nose pliers open a 5 mm

the fold over end and through the end of
the chain section. Close securely. Use your
