How to Make Mirror Rosaries
Rosaries are an important part of the Catholic faith, and as such are often kept in places where they will be seen and used every day. You can make a dimple mirror rosary to hang from the rear view mirror in your car that can provide moments of comfort during long commutes. Mirror rosaries are usually abbreviated versions of larger ones and feature only five decades, or prayer beads. This is so they do not obstruct your view while driving. If you use elastic cording, it is easy to remove it from your mirror and use it as a pocket rosary as well.

Tips & Warnings
Attach a St. Christopher medallion to your rosary, as he is the patron saint of travelers and especially suited to a mirror rosary.
