Beads out of Recycled Paper

by

triple swirl necklace: Bead for LifeBead for Life is a non-profit organization that helps eradicate poverty by supporting and training Ugandan women. They transfer recycled paper into beautiful beads giving themselves an income and helping the environment.

This triple swirl necklace that’s shown here is my favorite. It comes in five different colors and is only twenty dollars. They have been overwhelmed this year with their bead parties which include beaded jewelry, a DVD about the beaders, African recipes and price lists. It would be a fun party to have in the new year anyway since they’re booked up until then.

You can still buy individual pieces of jewelry or donate though. Read more about BeadforLife on their website. They have some inspiring stories and some beautiful beads.

    The teachers used to teach us how to make beads from recycled papers. But being school children, we always made things that were too ugly to be worn, LOL.
