Hearts
There are two different styles of hearts in a standard style press, currently available from Zooziis. We also offer hearts in our Texture Tools Collection, as well as a super cute Heart Drawer Knob!
The Lovin' tools are puffy hearts with the mandrel running left to right. They are made with the bottom of the bead in the bottom of the press and the top of the bead in the top of the press.
It is a cute, puffy heart! I love this shape!!! Once you make the basic shape you can stylize to make it personal, as hearts should be!
What you NEED TO KNOW: I recommend a razor tool. You can purchase one here. You could use a butter knife or other tool that has a similar blade. But if you need one, you can order it now and I'll include it with your tool!
The Sweethearts are thin, flat and have a slight facet on the edges. The mandrel groove runs top to bottom. If you firepolish the facets on the edges you will get a rounded soft edge.

Small: 15mm hole to hole and 15mm tip to tip x 12mm thick at the thickest point.
