Making Rosaries

While I have never been of the Catholic faith, I went to Catholic school for nine years, so I have an appreciation for the faith and their beautiful rosaries. I remember while in school, at one point I was required to get one. My mother allowed me to purchase a cheesy plastic one from the church for about $2. I so envied the beautiful crystal rosaries the other “Catholic” girls had, many of them passed down from older relatives or purchased as special communion gifts.
Later, once I learned to make jewelry, I made myself a few “just because.” There are a number of methods you can use to make your own rosary.
Here is one by blogger The View From Here where she makes a Episcopal/Anglican by primarily using eye pins.
Here’s a traditional Catholic style rosary I made where I knotted between the beads. I used a mixture of carnelian and rose quartz gemstone beads.
I have more prayer bead projects here: Prayer Bead Projects, Supplies, and Info.
