Step 2: Print a simple picture of our lady. Trace the image, or outline of the image, onto tissue paper. Pin the tissue paper onto what will be the back, middle section of the case.
Step 3: Using a simple backstitch, stitch on the outline of our lady. When you are done, carefully rip away all of the tissue paper.
Step 4: Pinup the bottom to create a case shape, with the top flap open. Blanket stitch up the sides, around the top, and down the opposite side.
Step 5: Apply a snap
And finally, insert rosary, carry with you always… and quit making excuses about why you didn’t find time to pray the rosary!

I love the rosary case. My daughter is working on her Girl Scout Bronz Award and this will fit perfectly. Her goal is to teach kids at her school the rosary. She is assisting the adult with the rosary club and is researching working with the kids in RCIA.

You must have one amazing daughter! Good luck to her!

Dear Nancy,
I am so glad that you discovered my blog. I’m looking forward to following you and your sister. I love the Catholic Mom bloggers that I have discovered. It feels great to find an on-line community that has our faith in common!
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed, Sunday.
Valerie
P.S. I love the felt rosary cases you designed. I think my daughter would love to learn how to make those. She is always wanting to make things for her First Grade teacher and Principal. (She goes to nearby Catholic school.)

Dear Nancy,
That is a great idea and one I will keep in mind as our children start to look of Christmas present making ideas.
Thank you for dropping by and leaving such a nice comment. I hope you will think about coming by on a regular basis.
God Bless

Very nicely done! I especially love the stitchwork. You can offer a rosary for me this Lent–for strength of faith. My husband is no longer Catholic, and my faith is a bit shaky these days.
Nancy says
I will definitely hold this in my heart as I pray…without an husband’s support everything is so hard.
