Handmade Pocket Rosary: Dried Flower Petal Beads, Personalized Medals

🌿 Pocket Rosary — A One-Decade Rosary Created with Your Own Dried Flowers

This Pocket Rosary is a one-decade rosary, finished with 1 to 3 medals rather than a traditional center medallion, and lovingly handcrafted using your own dried flowers. It transforms meaningful blooms from weddings, memorials, anniversaries, and life’s most cherished moments into a small keepsake meant to be carried close.

Each Pocket Rosary includes 10 Hail Mary beads, individually handmade by me using your dried flowers and clay, making every bead as unique as the blooms themselves. You may choose a traditional Our Father bead or a custom-made resin one using your dried flowers.  You can choose 1-3 medals (hard-to-find saints may incur an additional cost, but that will be discussed with you before I would purchase those).  A wider range of medals are readily available in silver.  Gold and especially bronze medals can be harder to find in a specific saint and may incur additional cost.  You could also substitute a charm or two of a favorite hobby or something that evokes special meaning instead of a medal. We can work that out after you order.

After you place your order, you will receive an email with shipping instructions and a few simple questions. Your answers help me understand the story, intention, and feeling you want this rosary to hold, allowing me to design a piece that truly reflects your memories. You will choose the color of the Our Father bead, which will be created using semi-precious stones or faceted glass. If you prefer a more subtle or masculine look, I can also use a solid bead or wood. For an additional cost, the Our Father bead may also be created using your dried flowers preserved in resin. Each Hail Mary bead is carefully hand-rolled, so no two are exactly alike, and all beads are sealed with an acrylic finish for added durability.

To protect your keepsake and minimize the chance of breakage, every joint is wire-wrapped by hand using tarnish-resistant wire.

Only a few petals are needed to create your rosary. Half a handful is plenty — and one handful can create 3–5 Pocket Rosaries. Multiple colors are welcome, and including a leaf or bit of greenery adds gentle contrast. Any unused flowers are always returned with your completed piece.

Once your dried flowers arrive, creation typically takes 3–6 weeks, depending on my current workload. Timelines may extend during major holidays, especially Christmas, and I usually close Christmas orders in October.

This Pocket Rosary is a beautiful way to preserve the memory of moments that matter — a small piece of your story, held in your hands.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask before ordering. I am always happy to help guide you through the process.
