The heart bead was created in Blender from a plane with Catmull-Clark subdivisions. The plane was distorted into half a heart shape using the grab tool in sculpt mode. Next, the mirror modifier was added to create a symmetric heart. The face planes were then extruded and scaled in edit mode to create the beveled edges. Finally, a Boolean difference modifier was used with a 7/8-in diameter cylinder to create the hole for the wooden dowel.
