Shamrock Charm Craft

February 7, 2018

We actually made this Easy Shamrock Charm Craft a year or so ago – at the same time, I was making all my Polymer Clay rings (you may remember the 4th Jewelry Ring???).. working with Polymer Clay is a great for slightly older kids and there lots of fun and easy jewelry projects you can make from FIMO. Gorgeous Good Luck Charms to make yourself. These are super quick and easy Polymer Clay Shamrock Pendants to wear on St Patrick’s Day. Or to make for as a BFF gift on St Patrick’s Day. It is a great addition to our other mostly Paperย St Patrick’s Day Crafts for Kids on Red Ted Art. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

How to make a Shamrock charm step by step instructions

  1. Make sure your polymer clay is nice and soft by molding it between your fingers to soften it.
  2. Begin your DIY Shamrock Charm by making 3 equal sized green balls – about twice the size of peas.
  3. Flatten one ball – pinch the bottom into a triangluar corner and with a toothpick turn in the top to make the centre pit of a heart.
  4. Make three of these green shamrock hearts.
  5. Gently squeeze these 3 hearts together into a shamrock shape.
  6. Now make a little green polymer clay stem for your Shamrock Charm and again gently connect.
  7. Smooth down your 4 pieces to make them look like one piece of polymer clay.
  8. Insert your charm hook.

    Wow..lovely green and nice idea. I have plydoughs lying around…can i use them and color them? Will they be hard enough too for a pendant kind of use? I m not sure…will find polymer clay soon and try this certainly as my LO loves to wear different chains n pendants:-)
