For the loop:
If using wire twist end tightly and make a loop, weave end into back of pendent to secure. Make sure ends are well woven in and have no sharp edges.
If using yarn make several chains to required size and sew ends into back.
Note: With or without a loop the heart also looks nice attached to a card for a very personal valentines card
