About Magazine Bead Necklaces These necklaces are made from beads of glossy paper from old magazine, calendars and brochures. Each bead has been hand rolled by disadvantaged women in Kenya. These women have formed bead making cooperatives to create a better life for themselves and their children. They use paper that would normally be thrown away because it is no longer useful (i.e. out of date calendars, colorful magazines and other similar colorful papers). The result is an almost endless variety of colorful beads and one of a kind necklaces and other jewelry. Through these cooperatives, they are able to provide for their families and raise their standard of living. Your purchase helps these women and their families. Each magazine bead is sealed to protect it while wearing, but not suited for swimming or showering.
