For each bracelet:
1 leather strip about 10 inches in length
You can substitute just about anything that will form a bracelet for the leather.
1 Yellow (or gold) bead
1 Black bead
1 Red bead
1 White bead
1 Green bead
At approximately 4 inches from one end of the strip, tie a single not. Now thread each bead in the order shown, that is, gold, black, red, white, and green, onto the strip. Tie a single not in the strip so that the beads will not fall off (at about 4 inches from the opposite end). Tie the bracelet around your wrist and you have finished.
Now for the crux of the bracelet: The gold stands for heaven, the black for sin, the red for the sacrifice of Christ, the white for purity (his and ours when he becomes Lord of our lives), the green to remind us that we need to grow in Christ. |
