I am still very new at making rosaries but I have found it both challenging and relaxing already!  It is a beautiful thing to do, and I'm glad I tried it and haven't given up.  I'm also very glad I've met you - everyone is so friendly and helpful. 

I just came to the Church this Easter Vigil and I fell in love with the rosary. I wanted to learn how to make them, so I did!

I'm an electronic bookkeepr, live in a house that's way to big for just my husband and myself with two dogs and four canaries.  My husband is not well.  I feel an intense call to make rosaries to give away.

I started making rosaries a little over 4 years ago.

I wanted to make a special gift for my niece's First Communion and theRosary was calling me. :-)

I just started making mission rosaries last year. I have quite a few ready to send out.

I find making mission rosaries very relaxing after a busy day.

 

Hi,

 

I am really interested in rosary making.  I would like to know more about this hobby.

 

I've always loved rosaries.  Tried making beaded ones but didn't come easily.  STarted making cord rosaries and now I carry cord with me everywhere and supply a local military chapel with both camouflage and colorful rosaries!  Glad to meet you all!

I feel so blessed that Mary has instilled it in my heart to make rosaries and mission rosaries.  I have prayed on what my place in our church could be, I have tried various ministries and a few I have stuck with.  Rosary making is a natural fit for me.  I love creating beautiful pieces of art work such as a nice rosary for Our Lady.  They are my jewels to her and jewels for other people to pray on.  If a nice looking rosary makes someone want to finally pick it up and use one, so be it.  I have given away all of the rosaries I have made previously, but have prayed on a way to make mission rosaries and get them out there.  My husband and I started them after seeing OLRM on the web.  I knew I had do more.  With the support of the K of C at our church, this is becoming a reality.  My new group starts next week officially and it has over 160 people.  Mother Mary is awesome!

This group is my inspiration.  I recommend it to everyone who is interested in Rosary making.  Thank you all for being who you are.  You are all truly a blessing.

Givng to others, what a wonderful feeling

I have been making Rosaries and Jewelry or over 10 years as a hobby. in December of 2005, i wa preparing to make a ew Rosary for my oldest daughter, I becameaware of the need for Rosaries on the Battlefield. Being homebound from an auto accident and a huge supporter of the Military, making Rosaries for the Battlefield was a natural fit for me. My daly goal is 12 Rosaries per day. i usually do this first thing in the morning, Then work on my Rosaries and Chaplets on order. I also make Heirloom Wire Wrapped and Semi Precious Rosaries as custom work and for sale. The proceeds are used to support what my husband calls my "Soldier Habit"  I plan to soon offer Rosay Making supplies and components for other Rosary Makers.

My name is Angelina, and rosary making is my hobby. I was born a cradle Catholic in a small village in the Philippines. When I started beading at the age of 7, I used sea-shells for my rosary beads. My grandfather used to scold me because I would use his fishing line cord to connect my shell rosary.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

Overtime, my beading hobby flourished and I attended various beading classes to further my interest. I discovered another way to make rosary by using wires to form chain rosary. My father's magnet coil wire became my new chain wires. My father could not believe that I used an engine wire copper coil to make my chain wire rosary.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

At 16, I moved to the city and started serious beading. In the Philippines, there is a church every corner like convenience stores in North America. This proved useful when I began selling rosaries.

 <o:p></o:p>

I learned to use real beading materials like tiger tail stringing wires, Nymo thread for Pearls and beading wires of #18, 20, 24, Sterling Silver. I also discovered the expensive gemstones, rocks and other precious minerals. I have had my share of mistakes, mismatch beads, twisted chains, broken crimps. But I kept improving and refining my techniques and abilities, I am now a 31 years old, a student of Environmental Science. <o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

After all this time, I am still beading and doing research, learning more about my faith and the rosary.  <o:p></o:p>

I "re-verted" to the Catholic Faith through the traditional Latin rite when pregnant with my first child.  One of the first things my mom gave me when I began practicing my faith was a beautiful Swarovski crystal rosary she had purchased.  I dutifully taught myself how to pray it in the car, to and from work.  Funny, growing up I remember seeing a rosary in the house but never knew what it was or what it was used for. One day at Mass shortly after my reversion a young boy gave Father a handful of mission rosaries he had made.  It struck me like a lightning bolt--my lifetime love of making things could be channeled into making the rosary as well as praying it!  I've been hooked ever since (and have quite a supply of beads to prove it!)

 

I started with the mission rosaries and soon it blossomed into the mission wire rosaries, custom rosaries, twine knotted rosaries, crocheted rosaries--you name it, I'll try it.  I love the challenge of repairing rosaries and finding that exact match of a missing bead.  It's a disease. 

 

A few years ago I began a Rosary and Scapular Makers Guild at our church outside of Denver.  I sell all kinds of rosaries and rosary-related supplies (e.g. handmade rosary hangers)  in order to buy mission supplies to supply the needs of our local apostolates that spread this devotion of our Lady.  It has been a wonderful outlet for my habit.  Now that parishioners know me as the "Rosary Lady", I am able to begin selling custom rosaries to help support my growing family. 

 

How blessed we are to have the Rosary--and to spread its devotion!

I'm so glad I found this site! I've gotten to the point where I can make a twine rosary in about 20 minutes - if you have any questions feel free to email me!
