Shamrock/Clover Earrings

DIY clover earrings/ st patrick day earrings
    I love Spring, as I am sure many of you do. One of the first signs of Spring in our family is the annual corn beef dinner on St Patrick's Day. I have very little Irish in my side of the family, but my husband's wonderful mother is mostly Irish and she makes a terrific feast for us all every year. So to celebrate the Irish in all of us, however small, I bring you these fun earrings that you can wear all Spring long. 
Tools
  1. Round nose pliers
  2. Flat nose pliers
  3. Wire cutters
  4. File
  5. Bic style pen with cap

Materials
  1. 4” of 20 gauge wire
  2. 12” of 18 gauge wire
Directions
Shamrocks
  1. Cut 18 gauge wire into two 6 inch pieces
  2. File end of each piece of wire
  3. With round nose pliers create a small loop on one end of each 6 inch piece of  wire.
  4. Place loop face up under pen cap
  1. Wrap wire just under half way around pen
  2. Using flat nose pliers bend wire back away from loop ​
  1. Place back under pen cap
  2. Wrap wire around pen till wire almost meets
  3. Using flat nose pliers bend wire back again
  1. Now Bend wire with flat nose pliers into a 90 degree angle
  2. Do it again using the tip of the tool
  3. Bend again  to finish making shamrock stem
  1. Place under pen cap and wrap wire till it almost meets itself
  2. Using flat nose pliers bend wire back
  1. Place under pen cap and wrap wire around till it meets the beginning loop
  2. Leave on pen and wrap tail around under the beginning loop
  1. Trim excess tail and close loop
  2. If you wish to adjust the loops now is the time
  3. Repeat all the steps 1-18 to create other shamrock( feel free to use thw first one to help you  make them close to the same, but remember they will most likely end up slightly different and that is perfectly ok)
  4. You may gently hammer the shamrocks  to flatten them, just do not hammer the top loops where they connect.

Now follow the fish hook ear wires link and assemble them onto the shamrocks to complete your earring so you can enjoy them. If you want to add some green go to this project and create the bead link to place in between the shamrock and the ear wires. Have fun and may these fun earrings bring you happiness.
