Unique. Colorful. Fair Trade.

Meaningful and Fair Trade
Make a difference, Change a life with your paper bead purchase. All profits from the jewelry sales go to the Ugandan beaders groups that we support. On average 40% of the product price goes to the beader who made the item, another 30% goes for group projects of the beading groups, 15% is for shipping and 15% is for direct selling costs. All U.S. labor is volunteer.

Handcrafted and Creative
Our wonderfully creative Ugandan beaders hand roll strips of glossy paper into a bead shape. The bead is not painted, but becomes the color of the paper that was used. Later, the bead is coated with a lacquer so that the beads can withstand rain, snow and moisture.

Colorful and Unique
By its very nature of being hand-crafted, each product is unique and hard to duplicate. We hope the necklaces and bracelets will fascinate you and that you will want to buy many of them. But we ask that you please be flexible as to the exact color of the product. Most items are blends of many different colors and many different shades. Paper beads also come in many shapes and sizes depending on the paper used. Our beaded products are made for teens and adults.
