I’m not sure this is the right place to post this so if it needs to be moved, you have my blessing. 😉

My gf is graduating from the University of Dallas next month and I wanted to give her something very special for her graduation. I decided to try my hand at rosary making. I had never made one before but I picked out the beads, the center and the crucifix. It probably took me a total of 5 or 6 hours to complete it, not including a bunch of test runs with extra eye pins and such.

It did not turn out like a professionally made rosary, but I think that is kind of the point. It isn’t nearly as bad as I feared it might turn out.

She is probably going to be moving away for a year or two. We have been in a long distant relationship since the beginning, around 1.5 years now. It is always nice to have things reminding us of each other. I use her rosary for my daily prayers.

It isn’t a bad first try for someone who hadn’t even prayed a rosary a year ago. Let me know what you think…
 
It’s really pretty, I think your gf will love it. It’s such a sweet and meaningful gift.
 
It’s lovely. 🙂 That is a very well thought out gift, and that is what makes a gift worth giving. It’s MUCH better than something bought last minute from a store. 😉

👍
 
What a nice thoughtful gift! And made by your own hand. She’ll love it.

My husband, who is Protestant, bought me a Rosary for my birthday one year, I was so touched. I LOVE IT! It was waaaay out of his comfort zone, but did it out of love for me.

She’ll treasure it. 👍
 
You did a fabulous job, I think she will love it. It is a very thoughtful gift.🙂
 
Wow! What a thoughtful gift, what a great job! It is beautiful! God bless!
 
You done good. I got into rosary-making from my wife, and I think it’s a really cool hobby.

First of all, thank you to everyone for the praise.

Second, it was a really neat experience. I think it was a spiritual experience making something that has such awesome significance. Knowing that it will help my gf in her faith is a great thing. I think I will find out more reasons and excuses to make them. Might even jump into different kinds.
 
What a beautiful and thoughtful gift! I made myself a rosary and then made one for my daughter (who is not Catholic - yet). My daughter from another mother (my daughter’s dear friend) who was raised Catholic asked me to make one for her and so I have–it will be her birthday gift.
