Good Luck Charm

Posted on March 29th, 2010 by admin in Make Pendants | Comments Off



The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common, three-leaved clover. According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, especially if found accidentally. According to legend, each leaf represents something: the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.

It has been estimated that there are approximately 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover; however, this probability has not deterred collectors who have reached records as high as 160,000 four-leaf clovers. Here is a great way to make your own four leaf clover and make your own luck along with it.

24 gauge copper sheet 2 inches square

Tin one side.

Trace the design on the untinned side of the sheet.

Saw to pattern.

22 gauge brass 2 inches square

Tin one side.

Flux the tinned surface of both metals.

Hold the metals together with cotter pins.

Place on a screen and hot plate until the solder melts.

When cool wash with pumice powder and a brush.

Saw the brass sheet even with the copper design.

File and emery the edges smooth and even, then polish with a burnisher.

 

By following the same procedure other and more personal charms can be made
