A set of instructions to make Rosary Beads!

Instructions

  1. Small 2

    What You Need: 6x 6mm White Glass Pearls 53x 4mm White Glass Pearls 0.8mm Silver Plated Wire 4x 4mm Silver Plated Jump Rings Fine Silver Plated Chain Rosary Connector Cross Charm

  2. Small 3

    Make a simple loop of either side of all 59 beads

  3. Small 4

    Working with the 4mm pearls, open the loop and join to another pearl and close the loop until you have 5 strands of 10 beads and 1 strand of 3 beads.

  4. Small 5

    You need 14 short lengths of chain. I usually count out a certain number of links (5 in this case depending on the size of the beads Im working with).

  5. Small 6

    Using 12 of the pieces of chain, attach a piece to each side of a 6mm pearl by opening the loop and securing it closed again. You have now 2 pieces of chain left.

  6. Small 7

    Attach the final 2 pieces of chain to the rosary connector using jump rings

  7. Small 8

    Using a jump ring attach the chain connected to one of the 6mm pearls to the bottom of the connector. Attach the strand of 3 4mm pearls to the end of the chain and again another 6mm pearl.

  8. Small 9

    Next join a strand of 10 4mm pearls to the chain of the 6mm pearl and continue around until all of the beads are connected together. Attach this to either side of the connector.

  9. Small 10

    Using a jump ring attach the cross and charm to he chain.
