this was featured on the daily candy the other day and i liked it so much i wanted to share it. BeadforLife is a network of women in Uganda who create jewelry made of colorful recycled paper – from magazines, calendars, pamphlets and cereal boxes. so not only is the BeadforLife jewelry pretty, purchasing it supports hard-working people in an impoverished community. you could purchase the jewelry online or in the stores in Uganda or Boulder, CO.

These are really some wonderful pieces of jewelry.
i have one of these necklaces! it’s from “paper to pearls” and it’s teal paper so the beads look like turqoise. great post!
yeah – i love the color. thanks for stopping by robert!
nice lara! that’s awesome that you have one of these. i love the fact that they are made from recycled paper too.
I really do love these – paper beads have gone a long way since my mother taught me how to make them some 25 years ago!
I love these! I am lucky to have one brought from Uganda. Thanks for pointing them out!
