Prayer Beads - Prayer Craft With Kids
A fun craft for Sunday School or an at-home craft to make with the kids.
Yield: 1 prayer bead rope
Cost: $5
Equipment
- clipboard optional
- Scissors
- scotch tape
Materials
- Cording - I used twine, but hemp cording is also a great choice
- Beads - The colors I chose were white or clear, green, blue, white or clear, black, brown, orange, red, purple, and gold or yellow.
- Cross necklace charm
Instructions
- Cut the cord to the desired length. I wanted mine long enough to fit into my son's journal, so mine is pretty long.
- Wrap a small piece of tape around one end of the cording to make it stiff for beading.
- Starting with the cross pendant, thread the cord through the hole on the top of the cross and tie a knot to secure.
- Trim, if needed
- Starting with the gold or yellow bead, start adding beads above the cross.
- I worked my way backwards with my colors starting above the cross with gold, purple, red, orange, brown, black, white or clear, blue, and green.
- Finish the pattern with one more white or clear bead, tying a knot around it to secure it
Notes
Based on Psalm 23
