Step 2
Choose the length of chain you want to use by measuring your collared shirt or cardigan – mine was about 5” long. Use your pliers to attach a jump ring to one end of the chain and loop it through the hole in one of the glittery hearts. Close the jump ring with the pliers. Repeat this with another jump ring, the other end of the chain, and the remaining glittery heart.

Hot glue the lapel pins onto the back of the hearts and then hot glue googly eyes onto the glitter side. Your charming glittery hearts are ready to accessorize any collar! Needing a lovely card to make an amazing gift?

Download and print the gift cards onto cardstock. Choose whichever design you like best! Print both sides, or print the front and back designs onto different sheets of paper and then glue them together. Following the templates, poke holes by pushing a needle through the gift card. Pin the two hearts in and fill in the back of the gift cards.
