Last year on October 11, the Feast of St. Therese, I felt the inspiration to improve my Sacrifice beads and make them better than ever. It took a little time to find the parts I needed and bring my ideas to fruition but yesterday, at last, I unveiled several new design variations.
My first design was to add a toggle clasp (shown above) Since after all, if the beads are not easy to carry, who can use them? This toggle clasp makes it very easy to attach your Sacrifice beads to a belt loop, a key chain, or a purse.
My second design variation was to make these sacrifice beads into a bracelet form with 10 beads and a St. Therese medal, and a small magnetic clasp. This is also a very practical way to keep your beads with you throughout the day. The clasp is tiny and unobtrusive, yet allows you to pull your bracelet on and off without effort.
After making that bracelet, I had another design inspiration. Since there was so much extra cord that was loose in a bracelet length, why not make it into a full rosary bracelet. In other words, after adding 10 Hail Mary beads, I tied a knot and add 5 movable Our Father beads. This way, you can move the Our Father beads to count which decade you are on. It also occurred to me that this would make a masculine looking rosary bracelet for the guys. So I removed the St. Therese medal and replaced it with a single crucifix. My idea being that men would like a smaller, simpler medal.
I felt affirmed with my new ideas because each of my designs was purchased within hours of listing them for the first time. I am excited to continue to offer these designs, as practical and beautiful for adults as for for children....Oh and on that last note, I will soon be offering these beads in Sacrifice bead kits to be used for Little Flower groups.
