Instant Digital Download

Many Catholic families try to say a Rosary daily, especially during Lent. I know Lent is when our family started saying a daily Rosary. It was a great way to begin a good habit! But one of the hardest things to do while saying a family Rosary is keeping young children quiet and happy while you pray. I've tried many different ways to keep my kids interested and involved. I've posted a list of ideas on my blog (www.catholicinspired.com). All were great ideas, but, as all things do, they get old and the little ones begin to get wiggly again! So here is another attempt to keep'm happy! :-)

I created these Lacing Rosaries! These are just right to keep little ones happy, involved, and interested!

This instant download contains the files you need to create your own lacing rosary set!
It has 5 downloads:

1} Instructions + all 4 Mysteries + an extra page with all 4 together
2} Joyful Mysteries
3} Luminous Mysteries
4} Sorrowful Mysteries
5} Glorious Mysteries

**The file with instructions also includes an "All 4 on 1 Rosary Sheet" (If you don't want to make all 4 you can just make 1!)

To create these you will need:
1} the download(s) from this Etsy listing
2} your printer
3} stock/heavy paper
4} laminator and laminating sheets
Note: the laminating step is not necessary, but without laminate, the lacing holes will break very easily.
5} scissors
6} hole punch
7} yarn, shoestrings, or other strings to use for lacing

Printable instructions are included.

I hope you and your little ones enjoy them!
God Bless.

Jewelry Care & Quality

Saint Medals and Charms
---
The saint medals are either oxidized metal or silver plated. These medals can get discolored but can be cleaned. A cleaning cloth is sent along to help make that process easier. If they look a bit dingy rub the dry cloth over them. Major cleanings can be done with lemon juice and baking soda.

Silver Tone Charms
---
The silver tone charms (flowers/hearts/animals/etc) will tarnish over time. These are lesser quality than the Oxidized Saint Medals & Charms. Dry cleanings (when needed) can sometimes prolong their silver color.

Stainless Steel Necklaces & Bracelets
---
SS items are strong for their size & will not tarnish. Dry cloth (included) cleanings are great! Lemon juice & baking soda cleanings can also help!

Chain: Quality & Strength

All of our Stainless Steel chains are a high-quality, non-tarnish material. They range in strength.

Oval link - 1.2mm wide - Our weakest SS chain - VERY dainty - Good for occasional wear

Oval link - 1.5mm wide - Weak Jump Rings - dainty - Good for occasional wear

Ball Chain - 3mm wide -BallChain Style Clasp -Strong - Good for 24-hour wear

Continuous - 3mm wide -NO CLASP- overhead style - Strong- Good for daily wear - nightwear for gentle sleepers.

Jump Rings: Quality & Strength

All our jump rings are a shiny stainless steel! The don't change color or tarnish!

We try to use the strongest jump rings which the chain or charm will allow. That way you are less likely to lose your jewelry.

It's super frustrating when you lose a bracelet, necklace, or charm due to a weak jump ring! We try to use the strongest jump ring that the situation will allow. (Ex. Bigger hole = thicker jump ring!)

Age Appropriate: Please Use Caution

All of our jewelry is intended for adults, teens, and children ages 7 years and up.

**We do not recommend these be worn by babies or toddlers ages 3 and under. They are made from small parts that may cause choking.*** Please keep your babies and children safe!**

NOTE: Chewing on jewelry is ALWAYS a choking hazard.

If you purchase a necklace for a child (7&up), remember to look for the strongest chains - see our "Chain: Quality & Strength" question. Children often break the thin chains. NOTE: No chain is 100% safe from breakage - Always use caution.

Our glass lockets have REAL glass and can be broken. These are not recommended for young children or toddlers. If worn (by those age 7 and up) please wear them in appropriate safe settings.

Thanks for the praying tool! Everything is a described! I printed them on card stock for their color which turned out nice! Now going to laminate them and add the ribbon (I have tons of ribbon but no site strings so I'm hoping that works!)


Turned out great - thanks!


Very pleased. Convenient that it's a downloadable.
