More recently, the rosary was considered an exclusively religious attribute, which was used in many world religions to account for prayers and maintain rhythm. So, for example, when making Orthodox rosaries by their own hands, woolen threads are usually used, which, thanks to the complex weaving, form round beads. In such beads, a cross with a brush should be placed at the junction of the ends of the threads. Often used and beads of wooden beads, strung on a string, with a wooden cross. The number of beads usually varies from 10 to 1000, but most often there are 100. If we talk about, for example, the weaving of Buddhist beads with our own hands, then the classic number of beads is 108. In this case, beads are often used from jade, coral, lapis lazuli, wood of different rocks, even the bones of animals. Connects the edges of Buddhist beads to 1-2 brushes.

Rosary can be bought in church shops, specialized stores. But you will agree, the beads made by the hands are much more symbolic. Well, we'll tell you how to weave rosaries with our own hands.
Master class: rosary with your own hands
It seems to us that when we ask ourselves how to make a rosary correctly, we first of all need to follow our desires: what material will be beads, how many will be, their color, etc. We suggest that you make rosary beads with your own hands. To do this you need the following materials:
- beads;
- thread, better silk and dense;
- pliers;
- clamps for beads;
- scissors.
So, let's start making the beads with our own hands.
- We cut off the thread of the required length and conduct the treatment with wax in case you did not have a silk thread at your disposal.
- We make a brush for the rosaries of the same thread. Around the three fingers it is tightly wrapped. Then we remove the tangle and we bandage it from one side. On the other hand, we cut - we get a brush. We cut it with scissors to even edges.
- Now it's time to go straight to the rosary. We thread each bead onto the string. When you are finished, we recommend that you once again pass the thread through all the beads. Do not tighten the thread very tightly, leave free 0.5-1 cm.
- Fit the clamps on both ends of the thread.
- Then thread the loop of the brush through the threads and fix the clamps again.
- We fix them with pliers. At will, you can skip a cross or a large bead in front of the brush.
- Cut off the extra thread. Done!
