Four Leaf Clover Charm

Starting with four green heart beads, it's easy to create a lucky four leaf clover pendant from The Bead Studio, perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Step-by-step photos help you with the process if you are new to beading. Make two for a set of earrings or turn one into a bracelet charm.

Materials:

• Round-nose pliers
• Wirecutter
• Chain-nose or crimp pliers
• 3 1 1/2" Headpins
• 4 Glass Heart Beads (We used 6mm Emerald)
• GS Hypo Cement (Or any clear drying glue)

Steps:

1. With 2 of the headpins add a heart, trim wire and make a small loop with the tip of the roundnose pliers, as small as you can.
   
   
    
2. With the remaining headpin add one heartbead, the 2 looped heartbeads and the last heart bead, making sure all the points are facing the center.
   
   
    
3. Wire wrap the the end of the headpin to make the pendant.
   
   
    
4. Place down on a flat surface and glue the center of the clover to keep the beads in place. Before you glue consider how you will use the clover and direct the loop acccordingly.
