It's very easy to make a rosary. All you need are the basic tools, which are:
- 59 beads (6mm or 8mm)
- Eye-pins (16mm for 6mm beads or 20mm for 8mm beads, I also found 18mm eye-pins are also useful for both type of beads.)
- 1 crucifix (about 4-5.5cm in length)
- 1 rosary centre
- 3 jump rings (for the rosary centre, 5mm Open Jump Rings, or 6mm split rings) plus an extra jump/or split ring for the crucifix
- Chain or pre-cut chain (about 4 chain links, 3x2mm)
- 1 rosary pliers
A beginner may take up to 3 hours to make a rosary, but after a few goes, it will only take about 1 hour to make one rosary from my personal experience. If you are making it with Swarovski crystals, I suggest the 5000 type beads.
