Follow the link ... they have instructions on how to make these rosaries. 550 cord can be had at Army/Navy surplus stores and some gun shops. The beads presumably from a craft store. They specify "pony beads". Anybody know what that means? How about a source for the Crucifixes?
I think it refers to the shape of the beads.
How about a source for the Crucifixes?
The first link I provided above has a link to a supplier of the twine which also supplies plastic crucifixes (20/$1). According to this page on military rosaries, "CROSSES[Crucifixes]: Prefer all black. Prefer plastic to metal but will accept metal only for recruits in training."
Is it required that a Rosary have a crucifix? I've made versions with just a cross made of knots at the end.
Go to Michael's - they're standard beads, about 3/8 of an inch diameter, maybe 3/16 high, plastic, big hole. The bags are clearly marked "pony beads."
