How to Make a Salvation Color Bracelet

You can buy plastic pony beads at any craft supply store.

Salvation bracelets, also called witness bracelets, are made with colored beads that represent certain tenets of the Christian faith. The bracelets can be made with elegant glass beads for an adult, although it is most commonly known as a children's craft, with plastic pony beads. Each bead should be discussed if doing the craft with a Sunday School or Vacation Bible School class. Each bead color can also be tied to Bible verses, and these can be read aloud during the making of the bracelet. Many commercially available bracelets are shipped with a small paper that explains the meaning behind each color.

Things You'll Need

• 10 inches leather cord
• Yellow pony bead
• Black pony bead
• Red pony bead
• White pony bead
• Blue pony bead
• Green pony bead

Instructions

1. Tie a knot approximately 3 inches from one end of the leather cord.

2. Slip a gold or yellow bead on the cord. This bead represents heaven. Explain the meaning of the bead if making the bracelets with a class.

3. Add a black bead and explain that it stands for sin. Follow it with a red bead for the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ.

4. Drop a white bead on to the cord for the purity of Christ, and for the purity of a Christian after his salvation.

5. Thread a blue bead on the cord to represent the Holy Spirit, and a green bead for the everlasting love of Jesus Christ.

6. Tie another overhead knot, and slide it down as close as possible to the green bead. Tie the two ends of the leather cord together to secure the bracelet around your wrist.
