Crafternoon: what do you do when you have no green for st Patrick's?

by Kathy Ruth

Answered

Having discovered that I no longer have anything green to wear for St. Patrick's Day (don't ask!), AND not being able to get out to shop before then, I made some St. Patrick's Day jewelry to wear.

I used some heart-shaped beads I had from a Goodwill store find and some foil-lined green glass seed and round beads left over from some Christmas ornaments I made as gifts.

I used ring-sized memory wire for the pendant and bracelet and green raft wire to form the shamrock charms.

  Thank you! I did forget to add that I based mu charms on a tutorial by Erin Siegel (erinsiegel.com) but I used heart-shaped beads instead of puffy ones and green wire instead of the gold-colored wire.

  I am willing to sell my creations! The bracelet does run small (I ended up giving it to my daughter) but I could make a type that doesn't use this memory wire.
