For a person whose favorite color is green, I am always scrambling to find something green to wear on St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t look good in green, so I don’t wear it much. One day while wondering through a craft store I came across a package of dried, pressed four leaf clovers. I then realized I needed to turn these into a necklace and my yearly search for something green to wear would be a thing of the past. So with the help of my youngest daughter, here is how to create a necklace pendent, using a four leaf clover. Let’s get started.
