St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and that means that the lucky clover (one of my favourite shapes) is going to be celebrated!
The four-leaf clover shape has become trendy in jewelry, and I thought that this time of year would be a great opportunity to show off a little bracelet that can easily be created in under 15 minutes!
Supplies needed to make your own lucky clover bracelet:
- Lucky Clover Connectors (I used white clovers).
- Shiny Gold Circle Connectors.
- Gold Findings (small jump rings, a head pin and a clasp).
- Gold Beads (to make a charm).
- Jewelry Pliers (I used two flat nosed, wire cutters and a rounded-nose pair).
I paired the gold circle connectors with the clovers when I was mapping out my bracelet. I thought that the circles could signify the “gold at the end of the rainbow.”
If you’re my husband, you’ll roll your eyes at this. If you’re me, you’re going to love how fabulously this is all coming together and will undoubtedly laugh with glee as you put together your lucky clover bracelet.
Using two pairs of flat-nosed pliers, I attached the sets of connectors using small jump rings. Remember to open and close the jump rings using the pliers, as it ensures a snug closure.
After attaching a clasp to the bracelet using jump rings, the bracelet was finished in minutes!
But as I looked at it, I felt like it needed a little something else. I wanted a little dangly charm.
I had a clover connector left over from the bracelet, so I decided to use that. I clipped off one eye from the clover using my wire cutters.
Then using a headpin and two gold beads, I created a little dangling charm. I think that Adrianne did a fabulous job of showing how to make a charm in her post. Head HERE to read how to make a charm, if you don’t already know how.
And as quickly as I began, I was finished!
This lucky clover bracelet is one of my favourites, I have to admit. It’s quick, beginner-friendly, and is also festive in an understated way. You can wear it for St. Patty’s day and show off your love of green beer and luck – but then you can also continue wearing it through the spring and summer as a lovely little dangly bit of flashiness.
The clover connectors come in various colours, too – you can go green, black, red… and more! Try this simple bracelet and see how easy it is to make your own jewelry pieces!
