If you love unique jewelry, then a clover necklace is just your kind of craft. Clover flowers are red, purple and white. Clover makes sturdy flowers that are great for making a beautiful, natural, handmade necklace. Find a sunny, overgrown space in your lawn and throw down a blanket. Making a clover necklace is a perfect way to spend a sunny summer afternoon.
Instructions
- 1
Lay your picnic blanket out on the grass, near a flowering patch of clover. Clover tends to flower all summer long and the flowers vary in color, from a rosy red, to purple and also white. Clover flowers are round with several tiny petals and grow from stems that are separate from the clover leaves.
2Decide how long you want your clover necklace to be. Some people like to wear a choker necklace and others like a very long one. Sometimes, you can make a long necklace that converts to a shorter one simply by looping it in half and double-hanging it on your neck.
3Pick several clover flowers and begin to craft your handmade necklace. You can braid the strands of clover stems together easily. Begin with three long stemmed clover flowers and secure a knot around the flower bases using one of the fibrous clover stems. Braid it normally and add a new stem to one section at every turn, like in a French braid.
4When you have reached the desired length, loop the clover necklace all the way around and secure to the place where you began, making a complete circle.
