Make a Mala Bracelet

Make your own prayer bracelet, called a Mala using thread, beads, and a tassel.  Prayer beads are a traditional tool used to count the number of times a mantra is recited when praying or meditating.  Many religious practices use a form of mala. This mala will be in the Buddhist/Hindu tradition of 27 beads.  Instructor: Mallory Zapf.
