Fun St Patrick's Day Jewelry Tutorials to Make

Posted: 03 Mar 2013 05:24 AM PST

You don't have to be Irish to join in the fun for St Patrick's Day. Make yourself something green or check out these great jewelry tutorials for inspiration! Be sure to look up the links below for past featured tutorials.

Jenny Rohr's polymer clay and ICE resin shamrock brooch tutorial (above) over at Craft Test Dummies is a beauty!

Linda over at Craftaholics Anonymous blog shared this zipper shamrock brooch tutorial. Easy and quick to whip up for the day!

Hiromi who writes the Harujion Designs blog, created a fun yarn crochet lariat style necklace tutorial. I liked how she used beads to the design. These also helped add weight to the necklace. She demonstrates how to wear the necklace in different ways on her blog post. If you're not fond of yarn necklaces or cannot crochet, convert over to chain and shamrock charms! If there is a will, there is a way!

The Split Pea shamrock pendant tutorial is a fun craft for the whole family. The original blog post by Dana over at Dana Made It shows many, many uses for the basic split pea shamrock designs. You'll have to make the sewn plastic shamrock "bag" smaller. Instead of split peas, you can fill it with all sorts of green beads. Another bead stash busting idea!
