beaded jewelry from st. mary kevin's


The beads are handcrafted from recycled magazine paper. First the paper is cut into long strips and then rolled tightly to make a bead. Then the bead is varnished for sheen and durability. Finally, beads are selected for matching hues and then strung together to create bracelets and necklaces.

Michael and Rosemary sent lots of pieces that the teachers and children at the St. Mary Kevin community have made. They began this project in December. I am still waiting to get prices, but thought it would be fun to give readers of the blog a glimpse of the colorful and fun jewelry from St. Mary Kevin Orphanage Motherhood!
