Catholic Scapular Crafts & DIYs

The scapular is made from brown wool rectangles, and it's worn around the neck. It was given to St. Simon by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. It's a sacramental with history dating back to the Old Testament, and Our Lady makes promises to those who wear it, including "Whoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire". That's a pretty awesome promise. Click here to read more about it. Here are some scapular crafts to help you celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel coming up on July 16!
