Every evening before bedtime, Dad leads the rosary in our children’s bedroom. We turn off the lights and a candle illuminates the current mystery we’re meditating on.
Our rosary display is homemade, neat, & easy to make.
I used:
- The booklet: “The Rosary – Roses of Prayer for the Queen of Heaven” which includes classic images of all 15 rosary mysteries
- 6 standard size photo album insterts
- One document holder with clips from the $3 bin @ Target
- Clear tape
- white adhesive labels
- Scissors
- 3M Command strips
Since this is a project dealing with sacred images of Jesus & Mary, I decided to avoid making this an arts & crafts project with my little ones and worked on it on my own.
1. Open the rosary booklet to the middle and remove the staples.
2. Separate the pages.
3. Cut out the pictures of the mysteries (simply cut on the creases). Organize them into the 3 rosary categories.
4. For each rosary category- tape together two photo album inserts side-by-side so they form one longer rectangle). 
I chose photo album inserts because a) I already had them b) They look nice without too much work c) They are temporary and I can safely take the mysteries out and reframe them at a later time.
5. Use a piece of cardboard to reinforce the middle part where the inserts join so that it’s not flimsy in the middle where they meet.
6. Turn the pair of album inserts over to the non-taped side and carefully peel back the clear plastic.
8. Place the 5 mysteries side by side so that they are centered on the album inserts. The 5 pictures from the rosary booklet I used fit perfectly onto the 2 photo album inserts.
9. Replace the plastic very carefully. Take your time as you lovingly cover those beautiful mysteries.
10. Cover the holes of the album inserts with cut-up pieces of white adhesive labels so that it will look neater.
11. Clip the finished product into your document holder. Attach two 3m Command Strips to the back of the document holder and attach to the proper place above your altar. If you light candles during the rosary, place it high or low enough for your candle(s) to illuminate it.
This is our humble rosary altar. All mysteries are kept clipped together on the holder while the current mysteries are on the front (it’s easier to keep them together this way). 
Our 6-year-old loves to move the candle and announce the mysteries 🙂
Ave Maria!
