Lampwork Heart Bead - Horizontal

Heart beads are Super easy and super quick. This is a quick video on how I make my hearts. I prefer horizontal holes because it makes stringing them easier. I hate wiring beads. :\
Make a good sized bead, kinda fat. Make sure the ends are good, roll the bead lightly on a marver to flatten it and then heat the middle. Using a straight edge tool, (like a butter knife or razor blade) roll the bead along the edge, like you're cutting it in half . That's your crease. heat the bottom center pretty hot and roll the mandrel back & forth quickly to form the tail.
