Beyond the obvious - made of brown wool - is there anything else I need to know for making my own scapulars?

I have one made already, it is hand embroidered on one end, and the other end has a small vintage medal stitched on it, to help keep it weighed down in the front. Most women I know like to have a small medal in the front to keep it from popping out of their blouse/top. I will make some without medals as well.

Any ideas/suggestions/pointers welcome.

Thanks! 🙂

Make a Brown Scapular

I’ve been wanting to make my own for a while now. The hardest idem for me to find is the wool material. Then I don’t have any money to spare. I read some where that the scapulars the Carmelite Nuns wear only has a small red cross embroidered on them.

Good luck. Show us some pictures if you can. If you need a host for pictures posting pm me.

I bought dark brown suiting wool. It is 100% wool, and a very nice weight. I think it was $22 a yard, but a 1/4 yard will make a LOT of scapulars, so it didn’t cost that much. I also found the cording as well - both at JoAnn Fabrics.









Didn’t have time to mess with photos last night, so here they are now.

Thank you :o I think it looks pretty rough myself, but not too bad for a first try.

I am going to get these center pieces for the medal on some of my future attempts:



I like using a center piece because it has three tacking points. 👍 Otherwise a pendant medal will just flop around and get caught on things.
