A Rosary made out of Legos?

I was searching for something to make for my godson's 1st Holy Communion. He's been crazy about Lego's for quite some time but I had a feeling he's kind of growing out of the Lego stage. I decided to search the net and see what other creative people had done w/Legos. I found some great Lego bracelets and very cool cufflinks but I was smitten with this fabulous Rosary made out of Legos. I really liked the concept of snapping the Legos together to help keep track of where you are when praying the Rosary. I also like the fact that Legos are appealing to younger kids and if that encourages them to pray the Rosary, I'm all for it! Since there was no time to purchase one of these beauties, I had to make one myself. Luckily, my teenage son still has 2 huge tubs filled to the brim with Legos. I made mine slightly different based on the Legos I found and I used only one Lego to separate the Mysteries as I thought this would be more in keeping with traditional Catholic Rosaries. Here's my take on the Lego Rosary.

To keep the cross pieces together I used Gorilla Glue.

I also used 1mm imitation leather cording to string the Rosary together.

Since the Legos I chose to use were the round ones, there was no need for lots of drilling. I only had to drill holes in 2 Legos. I drilled the "4-pegged" grey Lego and the 1-pegged Lego which was the top of the cross.

The very best part was my godson's comment when he saw the Lego Rosary... "Wow! That's the coolest Rosary EVER!!" I think it was a hit! If you're in need of a Rosary, I do suggest getting one from Memento Moose. They are great!.
