Say A Little Prayer Necklace
I’ve made so many prayer boxes jewelry at one time but never made one with paper beads. I normally just hang the little prayer box as a pendant or as a charm with nothing in it. This time, I thought of putting a little strip of paper with a prayer, or a saying or a wish for someone you are giving it to, making it a real prayer box. I then, hand knotted each paper bead for the rest of the prayer box necklace. What is fun about this project is writing little notes into a strip of triangle paper and rolling it into a bead. Now, you always have that prayer or wish close to your heart.
I cut the strip of paper 1/4 inch at the base and 11 inches from a printer paper and wrote: “Lord help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that YOU and I cannot handle.”
Using the bamboo roller, I rolled it into a bead, small enough to fit into the prayer box.
It is a cool kind piece of jewelry, don’t you think?
It looks nice by itself or layered with another paper bead jewelry.
I have made rosaries with paper beads as well, this will be in future posts, like what Kayla is wearing above.
I love the little prayer box that can also hold mementos from some special time….
