hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world this year for Valentine's Day I thought
it would be fun to make necklaces and I love making things out of candy I just
love like edible jewelry I just think it's super super fun so I'm going to
teach you how to make this really cute chocolate heart and it is you can wear
it on one side or the other so it's reversible this very cute chocolate
heart necklace let me show you how to make one right now for this project you
will need flat-backed candy yarn silk cord any kind of string as long as it is
non stretchy glue dots and scissors so I'm gonna be using a red and a silver
heart so that I can make it reversible now here's the thing you just want to
make sure that your candy is a flatback candy that's all you need to do to make
sure that this craft works correctly you just want to make sure it's got a flat
back to it and you want to make sure that the two sides you're gonna use
two pieces of candy and you want to make sure that those two sides fit together
nicely they fit together exactly so they're like mirror images of each other
which is exactly what you want first thing I'm gonna take five glue dots now
here's the thing you can use a low temp glue gun but I would not suggest it just
because it melts the candy and you don't want to ruin the
candy so I'm putting glue dots all over the
back basically so I'm going to start with that bottom point and then I'm
going to put one in each of the rounded parts of the heart and then I'm gonna
fill up the center in between there as well and you only need to put glue dots
on one candy so now I've got all my glue dots on and
just gonna take my cord in this case I'm gonna make it 24 inches long and I'm
just gonna lay my cord right you see how that divots in in between those two
upper parts of the heart the two loop-d-loop parts see how it's just kind
of divots in you're gonna go right underneath there and just lay your cord
right down so see you still have the top divots and you still got a little bit of
this glue sticking out of at the top of it and that's important because now I'm
just gonna take my heart stick it on top and basically my necklace is done all I
need to do now is tie it off so just gonna take my two ends I like to do a
little wrap around each other and come back and do a little figure eight just
tie off pull that tight and give it a little snip and it's done so easy so
cute and there you have it some super cute super simple jewelry that is sweet
enough to eat literally so I want to show you a couple little things this is
when you use more than one it's kind of I love it because it's kind of like
Wilma Flintstone doesn't that kind of remind you of the Wilma Flintstone
necklace I love it anyway you can do it out of other things too I want to show
you you can make it out of gold coins so that you can show your honey that you
want some money and you can even mix in things like starbursts as long as you
have got a flat back candy you are ready to roll for more fun ideas
