Prayer Beads

For the past couple of months I have been wanting to make prayer beads. What I would like to do is get some semiprecious beads and use them.

Unfortunately I don't have the extra money at the moment to invest.

So a couple of weeks ago a friend of mind showed me some jewelry he made. He made it with old rosary beads. At first I didn't think anything of it, then the light went on. I have those rosaries from when I had the store. An I have no plans on selling them as is. So I took them apart and used those beads to make the prayer beads. I think it became a very worth wild recycling project and best use for the beads. Next to jewelry of course, let me know what you think.
