How to Make Rainbow Faith Bead Bracelets
Rainbow faith bracelets are a fun way to share your Christian faith. They are also sometimes called witness bracelets (because they can be used as a witnessing tool when sharing your faith) and salvation bracelets (because they can be used to share Jesus' plan of salvation). Each color bead on a faith bracelet represents a different part of the process of following Jesus Christ. This article will explain how to make the bracelet, use it to explain your faith to others and pray a prayer of salvation with those you share your bracelet with.

You may also choose to use symbolism for the knots in the cord. The first knot is sometimes said to represent that God loved each one of us and planned our lives before we were even born (John 10:10). The final knot may symbolize that when we die, we will stand before God in judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
