[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rosary Making Question ....

[Eileen Scrivani]

LA:

It's not that a rosary is difficult to make.  You are correct it pretty 
easy, but the beads have to be in a particular sequence and it would be 
important to the person saying the rosary as to what bead they are on tells 
them what prayer needs to be said.  So I did not look closely enough and 
failed to take off 1 extra mystry bead and the following 5 seed beads so 
because of that little error I will have to cut the wire and restring the 
entire piece.
