How Do You Make A Ladder Rosary?
For centuries people have used rosaries as tools for prayer and meditation. Composed of a series of beads arranged on thread, cord or chain, rosaries come in many shapes, sizes, styles and materials. A ladder rosary is a special type of rosary. It is distinctive because its beads are positioned between two lengths of chain rather than strung onto one length of chain. This design gives the rosary a ladder-like appearance; consequently, this type of rosary is also referred to as a “Jacob’s Ladder” or a “Stairway to Heaven.” Cut 1 foot from your length of sterling silver chain using wire cutters. Set the foot-long portion of chain aside. Cut the remaining 4 feet of chain in half so that you have two chains measuring 2 feet each. Lay these two chains side by side on a piece of cardboard; they should run parallel to one another with about 1 inch of space between them.
