Strips of paper are carefully rolled up, dyed, dried, and then strung together to create this beautiful Cascadia Necklace.
Patti, our Widows Program Coordinator in Uganda, tells us that in order to get the bright pigmented color onto the paper beads, the widows must dip the beads into the dye and let it dry seven individual times. The women string up clothing lines all around their villages and hang up the paper beads to dry.
What a detailed process for these incredible necklaces! Head over to our Cascadia Earrings (rafikifoundation.org) and find your necklaces matching earrings!
The last time we got these in, they sold out in two days! Hurry and get one while they last!
Created with strips of paper in Uganda are these colorful Ugandan Paper Wrapped Bowls. What better way to reuse paper than to turn into a handy container for knick knacks?
Due to the way these bowls are made, we do not recommend storing food or consumables inside.
Each bowl is unique and different since they are made out of paper. The pictures show the general color theme of the bowls. We tried to group them as close to the pictures as we could, but each bowl varies from the one another.
These small bowls measure about 5.5 inches across the top X 2.5 inches tall and 3.0 inches across the bottom.
