The Pocket Rosary

It's very easy to make your own Pocket Rosary! All you need are the following materials:

  • Small Crucifix
  • Medal of the Blessed Mother, e.g. a Miraculous Medal
  • Saint medal (optional)
  • Leather bootlace
  • 15 beads

Notes
We use 6.5 x 4mm mini pony beads and leather bootlaces. Tools are not required, however needle-nose pliers may be helpful when sliding the beads onto the leather bootlace.
