3) The string that came out the left side of bead #1 should pass back through the hole in bead #2 from left to right and the string which exited bead #1 on the right should be passed through bead #2 from right to left.

4) Repeat step #3 for the 8 remaining beads.

5) Once all ten beads are on the string, knot the two loose ends of the string together.

6) Finally we'll attach the cross in the same basic way we attached the medal to the other end.  To do this, pass the knotted end through the loop ring (hole) in the cross then pass the opposite end of the string (the end with the medal and beads on it) through this loop and pull taught.

Your sacrifice beads are now ready to use.

To use:  Start with all the beads at one end.  Each time you make any "sacrifice" slide one bead down to the opposite end.  By keeping the beads with you all the time, it will serve as a reminder to make sacrifices to honor Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for us.
