How Do You Make A Wood Bead Rosary?
Making a rosary by hand may seem like a daunting task, but it is not as difficult as it seems. Choosing to craft a rosary yourself, either as a gift or for your own personal use is a way to connect to your faith and express your creativity at the same time. Put your felt mat on your work table or flat surface. Separate your beads, eye pins, and jump rings into their own small container–you’ll have one empty container left. Place your crucifix/cross and center piece within easy reach and your 8″ chain in the center of your mat. Put your tools to either your right or left depending upon which hand you work with. Cut your chain. With your wire cutters make fourteen 3 link sections by cutting and removing every 4th link. As you are cutting the links, place your free hand over the link as you cut to keep the pieces of the cut link from popping up or sailing off your work table. Place the fourteen 3 link sections in the empty container. Take one of the size 18 eye pins out of the container
