Everyone has favorite hobby, hobby. Someone likes to sing, someone is fond of history, someone likes to weave various things, and someone, in general, is immersed in religion and self-knowledge with his head, soul and body. And what if we combine the last 2 points: weaving and religion ...

Yes! That's it! Today we will talk about the rosary, which has become popular among people of different religions. We will tell you about their origin and purpose, as well as describe in detail how to make them yourself.

In the view of many people, the rosary is an obligatory attribute of some religion. It is known that they are used to count bows during prayer. You can often see on the street, for example, a Muslim with a rosary. Some of us even associate them with people of this religion. But this is a stereotype. This product takes its origins from a completely different cult.

The rosary originated before our era in India. It is from its northern part buddhist rosary moved to the hot Middle East, from there they got to flourishing Europe, and then spread throughout the world. They are widely used among representatives of various faiths such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.

If you look at the rosary through the eyes of a person far from religion, then in appearance they are all somewhat similar. After all, they are all made of beads and tassels. But in fact, they differ in the number of beads, links, the type of separators and the symbol of the religion to which they belong. By the way, few people know that no matter what the rosary is - Muslim, Tibetan, Orthodox or Buddhist - they must be made exclusively from natural materials and in compliance with certain rules. In this case, this attribute will serve talisman for his owner. Marine natural material for the rosary - coral. Rosaries are made of beads, and wicker. There is a special scheme for weaving a rosary.

The Buddhist rosary can be considered the most ancient and famous. They are made from beads strung on a thread and or fishing line, and connected in a circle. At the same time, it is considered that number of beads, must be a multiple of 9. Most often, the rosary consists of 108 beads. And there are 2 explanations for this:

This is the amount of earthly desires that spoil the soul;
Multiplying the number of planets and the number of signs of the zodiac; or the number of quarters of the moon and lunar constellations, it turns out: 9 * 12 = 108 and 4 * 27 = 108.

Hindu rosary - or mala, japa mala - is a tool for counting mantras. Usually they contain 108, 54 or 50 (according to the number of letters of the Indian alphabet) beads.

Orthodox rosaries usually contain 33 grains - according to the number of years the Savior lived on earth.

Flip rosary is one of the varieties of the classic, characterized by a specific elongated shape. They are a flat ribbon, on which small rectangles are strung, separated from each other by compact balls. Most often they include 13 such elements, but there are options with 8, 10 or 12 components. The most common rosary with 13 parts.

If we are talking about Buddhism, then we cannot do without the symbol of the feminine and masculine principles, which is located at the end of the rosary. This symbol represents the birth of life. Tassel for Buddhist- How cross for christian, which means beginning and end, birth and death. Even for Buddhists, it means eternal life and a reminder of the meaning of life and the performance of religious rituals.

We make Buddhist beads with our own hands

Modern people use them as an accessory, emphasizing the image or just for calm the nerves, sorting through the beads in his hands. The rosary can be a wonderful gift or souvenir for your family and friends.

How and from what are Buddhist rosaries made? :

As mentioned earlier, doing beads made from natural materials. They come in every taste and color: from various types of trees, stones, precious metals, organic glass and even bread.

The material is selected based on the purpose of the future owner:

If you want to scare away evil spirits or get rid of a bad influence, then juniper is best suited;
If you have any obstacles in life, then the rosary is best made from pearls or rock crystal. Also, this material is suitable for increasing immunity;

The rosary could also be used as a real weapon. Exist rosary with metal grains, which are flexible edged weapons of shock-crushing action, in technology close to combat chains.

The rosary has a specific structure:

beads;
Separator beads at certain intervals;
Thread or thick fishing line;
Knots between beads;
Guru bead;
Tassel.

So, to make the rosary correctly, we need 107 beads (preferably the same size), threads, ropes (for a brush), one bead that is larger than the rest, and also scissors and glue.

Let's start manufacturing

To collect the rosary, first you need to take 107 beads and string them on a thread (if you don’t have a silk thread, you can use a fishing line or any other thread, only dense and pre-treated with soap);
At the same time, after each bead, we tie a knot (symbolizes the connection with the universe and helps to concentrate on meditation);
After being strung, you need to thread the ends of the thread through the guru-bead (a larger bead);
We fix the resulting structure with simple knots;
We fix the brush in the same way.

The most important attribute is the end of the rosary. Christians - cross with tassel, for Muslims stone with tassel, but Buddhists have two tassels with beads.

In order to make a brush, we wrap the threads around three fingers (you can wrap anything, the main thing is to get a neat circle from a bunch of threads as a result); winding, remove the formed dense ring; we tie one side with threads, cut the other in half; since the tips of the brush turned out to be uneven, you need to cut them a little, thereby trimming the “tail” with scissors; but at the same time, you need to leave one thread longer on each tassels in order to attach one bead to them; we fix them with knots; for strength, you can also fix the knots with glue (if necessary). And voila, the product is ready!

Not so long ago, the rosary was considered an exclusively religious attribute, but today's fashion trends have made them one of the most original and unusual accessories that are in demand not only among women, but also among men. Such decorations can be easily made with your own hands, without having specific skills and abilities.

Traditional flip-over Orthodox rosaries can vary in the number of beads, the type of materials used, and finishes. This allows them to be used as decorations that can go with clothes of different styles. Since the design is quite simple, it can be assembled practically from improvised means.

Plexiglas product

The whole process of making jewelry is rightfully considered a real art, because the author of the creation can use a huge number of techniques that will allow you to create your own small masterpiece. How to make a plexiglass rosary?

This will require the following materials:

Weaving a pigtail in this case is completely optional if you do not know how. It will be enough to string the beads on a nylon thread. True, the manufacturing process of the product itself is quite laborious, since you have to deal with small details.

Manufacturing process:

Using a hacksaw, cut out the required number of beads of the same size from a sheet of plexiglass;
The size of all links should not exceed 1 × 2 cm;

bread product

How to make a rosary from bread? This may seem very strange to some, but such designs can be easily made even from ordinary bread.

This will require the following set of products:

There are two methods for creating bread products from which you can choose the best for yourself.

To make a rosary according to the first method, you need to follow the following sequence:

Add granulated sugar to the bread crumb. This is done so that the links do not crack over time;
The bread is then kneaded by hand. After about an hour, it will turn into a pliable mass, making it easier to work with;
Divide the plastic mass into several parts and form small balls of the same size;
Before the links harden, string them onto the thread.

In fact, the whole process will take you no more than an hour and a half, but the product will turn out to be short-lived.

In this sense, the second way to create an accessory is much more preferable:

Orthodox rosary

How can you make an Orthodox rosary with your own hands? To assemble a product designed to count the prayers and bows read during the service, you will need not only a thread with beads, but also a cross with Christ's crucifix. This is what a traditional Orthodox attribute looks like. It is optimal to use pine as a material for creating beads, since it is the best to process.

To make an accessory, you will need a fairly serious set of tools and materials, namely:

thick fishing line;
mini drill;
polishing paper;
wooden blanks;
alkyd varnish;

Manufacturing process of wooden rosary:

wickerwork

How to make beautiful flip rosary from soutache? To make such a product, approximately 6 m of material will be required. This is enough to weave a rosary for 50 knots. Weaving is quite complicated, so you need to be patient to create jewelry. The whole process of weaving soutache threads is shown on the video, thanks to which a non-professional will be able to assemble a rosary of 33-50 knots.

At the same time, the number of knots in the rosary is not chosen by chance:

A 30-knot product with 3 beads symbolizes the years of Christ's life on earth;
At 50 knots - reminiscent of Pentecost;
70 knots are woven in honor of 70 apostles;
At 100 knots - the classic and most common version of the rosary used by monks.

To make a beautiful accessory, you can use almost any materials at hand: the more unusual they are, the more original the decoration will turn out.

However, it should be understood that the rosary is primarily a religious attribute, so it is not advisable to throw it away, drop it or keep it in the dirt.

If earlier the rosary was exclusively a prayer attribute, now they can also act as a fashion accessory. Interestingly, the rosary is found in different religions. They may differ in materials, number of beads, appearance, finish, but they are used in the same way - they are sorted out when reading prayers. They are distinguished by a simple shape and design, so making a rosary with your own hands is not difficult.

The classic rosary looks like beads made of round beads, but there are also instances with oval, square and flat beads. You can make a rosary for yourself - they perfectly calm and allow you to concentrate, and you can also make them for a gift, in which case it will be unusual and exclusive. If you make a rosary using natural stones, then they can act as a talisman. Only in this case it is necessary to choose a stone for beads from among those suitable for you according to the horoscope.

In this article, we offer several options for making rosaries from different materials.

Wooden rosary

For their manufacture you will need: a wooden blank, stain and varnish, fishing line, a small drill, a needle, sanding paper.

A soft wood that can be easily worked, such as pine or spruce, is well suited as a material for wooden rosaries. First, a stick of the desired length and diameter is cut from the workpiece with a suitable tool on wood. The dimensions of this stick will determine the size of the beads in the rosary.

The wooden stick is marked into segments equal in length to the size of the beads, and the block is sawn into separate pieces. In this way, small wooden cubes are obtained, from which beads for the rosary will subsequently be made.
A thin drill is inserted into the mini-drill, with which a hole in the center will be drilled in each wooden cube. The drill must be guided exactly in the center and stand level so that the wooden bead does not split. After all the cubes are drilled, they can be filed or sanded to smooth out sharp edges and remove bumps and roughness.
The prepared cubes are covered with stain, which will give the tree a beautiful dark shade, and dried. If desired, you can decorate the beads with various symbols, which are first applied with a pencil, and then engraved with a special tool - a wood engraver. After that, the beads are varnished. This will protect them from mechanical damage and cracking.
Then the beads are strung on a thin fishing line of the desired length. You can alternate wooden beads with beads made of another material, such as ivory or glass. At the end of the fishing line in the rosary, they usually hang some kind of decoration - a fringe tassel, a cross, a symbol, a large bead - which designate the pommel of the rosary.
The fishing line is tied tightly, while it is important that the beads are strung freely and x can be moved to the side.

Rosary with knots

These rosaries can be made from different beads. Wood is considered the best material, but other beads are also suitable. All beads must have a central hole for threading. For these rosaries, you need one larger bead, it will be the main one. In order for it to stand out, you can take it in a different shape or from another material. The sizes of beads of a rosary are unprincipled, but beads with a diameter of 7 mm are considered the most convenient.

Rosary from bread

For these rosaries, an unconventional material is used - bread. They require bread, sugar, and manual dexterity to make them. It is better to take white bread from wheat flour of the second or third grade, and only the crumb is used.

There are two ways to make beads for a rosary.
First way. Bread crumb with the addition of sugar is kneaded in the hands. Sugar is added so that the beads do not crack. Moreover, the higher the quality of the bread, the more sugar should be. It is necessary to knead the crumb for a long time, at least an hour. After that, it becomes like plasticine. Some people think that water can be added to make the bread mass more plastic, but this is not so, water will only reduce the strength of the product. When the bread mass becomes plastic and it will be easy to sculpt various products from it, you can begin to form round beads. You can make beads of a different shape, and if you add dyes to the bread crumb, you can get colored beads.

The second way. This method allows you to get more durable products. Sugar is added to the bread crumb, and then the mixture is brewed with boiling water. The mixture is left in a warm place so that it begins to sour, and then the crumb is rubbed through cheesecloth. The resulting mass should dry out a little. At the same time, it must be mixed periodically so that it becomes like plasticine. After that, products can be sculpted from the bread mass. Since the mass is characterized by increased strength, therefore, the central hole in the beads of the rosary must be made immediately, before they dry out. When stringing the rosary, it is necessary to choose their length individually so that it is approximately the length of the palm.

Thanks to the appearance on the market of many new materials, tools and technologies, everyone can make something original, exclusive with their own hands. Thus, the distribution of plexiglass opens up great opportunities, which allows you to create a wide variety of useful objects. For example, the rosary. Yes, real rosaries can be made from plexiglass, and of good quality. And for this you need to first learn more about the material.

A little about organic glass beads

The manufacture of flip rosaries has been known to us since the time of the Union. Moreover, very often, plexiglass served as the material for their manufacture. And all thanks to its availability and excellent performance.

After all, for the rosary, light material was needed, which is not difficult to touch in one hand. At the same time, it is important that when the rosary falls, they do not break and are not damaged. Organic glass fits perfectly into these criteria. At the same time, the material did not erase the thread on which the elements were strung, and was also not damaged due to impacts against each other.

Since a person always wants variety, simple rosaries quickly got tired, and then the craftsmen came up with the idea of painting them, as well as decorating them in various ways. For example, the material could be boiled for hours in Zelenka. An original design method was also invented - with an internal thread. It was done in this way. The product was cut in half, irregularities were created inside with a cutter or other tool, paint of different colors was poured into them, then the halves were glued together again - a three-dimensional product was created with colored elements inside.

Plexiglas elements popular then: roses, spiders, card suits and others. To create a truly original and beautiful little thing, the craftsmen, who were few, had to go to this for more than one year, constantly creating something new.

If we consider the rosary, then when they are made from plexiglass, there are only a few requirements: an attractive appearance and comfort of use. These tasks need to be set for yourself when creating a rosary.

Material

Plexiglas has long been known for its excellent characteristics:

Waterproof, resistant to chemicals, ultraviolet, low temperatures. Since the rosary has to be used in different conditions, including weather conditions, this quality is very useful.
Strength. Of course, without this property, it would be impossible to create durable products, so the manufactured rosary will be practical.

Ease. Another important parameter, otherwise it would be inconvenient to throw the product in one hand.
Thanks to transparency, you can achieve original visual effects when creating products.
Environmental friendliness. Plexiglas beads are completely safe to use.
Ease of processing allows you to create products of the most ornate forms.

Instruction

First you need to arm yourself with a hacksaw or a jigsaw to cut pieces of plexiglass, which will be links in a flip rosary. The average dimensions are 2 cm wide and 1 cm long. The extreme links should be heavier, so they are made somewhat larger than all the others.

How to determine the number of links? To do this, determine the size of the palm.

In order to get the links of the original colors, it is worth using colored plexiglass, which will give the product the desired effect. As already mentioned, transparent plastic can be boiled in brilliant green or iodine, and custom elements can be created by cutting them in half, filling them with paint and gluing them again.

To turn classic beads, you need to process the material on a lathe. The diameter of the beads should not be more than 1 cm. Or you can take a plexiglass rod, make a hole in it and cut it into several elements that will be links in the flip rosary. You can supplement them with a cross, which is also made of plexiglass, like the main elements.

It remains only to string all the links, having received an exclusive rosary. The product is ready.

In addition to the photo, you can additionally watch a video instruction on how the process is carried out.
