I just recently learned how to make wire wrapped rosaries but would love to learn the single caged or double caged method…can anyone refer me to a website or book to see the technique? I live in Georgia and would really love to find someone to show me. Thanks for your help!
If you are looking for a part, have a special rosary making story or just want to share information, please post it here. We have thousands of readers who will be happy to help.
We recently received the following question from one of our rosary makers - Deborah from Columbia, MD
We have a disabled son and are interested in starting a small business with him that might give work to other disabled individuals. He is autistic. Do you have any information on this or contacts within the businesses that you serve who have similar circumstances or who have started similar business efforts? Any information you might be willing to share would be greatly appreciated. God Bless You.
CCD Rosary Making, Altar Rosary Societies, First Communion Classes
Many of our readers are CCD instructors and teach their class "How to make the rosary". The children then get to keep their rosaries and extras are donated to the missions, hospitals, shut-ins, etc. Altar Rosary Societies often make rosaries for their fellow parishioners. First Communion Classes frequently make their own rosaries with Chalice Centerpieces to commemorate their First Communion. Our readers would love to hear your story.
Many people make rosaries with cord. Some use metal parts made of base metal, sterling silver or gold. There are hundreds of different types of beads available. Some readers even make rosaries from Job's Tears which they grow in their gardens. Tell us your story please.
