Shamrock Necklace
Make a pretty necklace to wear on St. Patrick's Day.

You need:

Alternate stringing pearl beads and gold disks beads onto a piece of monofilament. String  the same beads through a necklace memory wire until you fill about 1/3 of the necklace.

Then, stringing only onto the monofilament, string on one pearl bead, one gold disk, one clover bead and one gold disk. Wrap around the last gold disk and then string back through the same clover bead, gold disk and pearl bead. Pull snug. Alternate stringing on a couple more pearl beads and gold disks on the memory wire and on the monofilament.

Then, stringing only on the monofilament, string on one pearl bead, one gold disk, one large shamrock bead, one pearl bead and more gold disk. Wrap around the last gold bead disk and then string back though these same beads in the opposite direction. Pull snug. Alternate stringing on a couple more pearl beads and gold disks on the memory wire and on the monofilament.

Then, stringing only onto the monofilament, string on one pearl bead, one gold disk, one clover bead and one gold disk. Wrap around the last gold disk and then string back through these same beads. Pull snug. Alternate stringing on pearl beads and gold disks on the memory wire and on the monofilament until the rest of the memory wire is filled up. Use a needle nose pliers to bend the end of the necklace to hold beads in place.
