Mzuri Beads are top quality recycled paper beads, handmade by a cooperative of women in Uganda.
The beads are made by cutting triangular strips from recycled magazines and posters. Each strip is rolled one by one around a needle and held in place with a dab of glue. Once the beads rolled they are strung up, varnished and left to dry for 3-5 days. They are then finished and left with a glossy and water resistant finish.As these beads are handmade from a vast selection of printed matter, there is often a variation from one bead to the next.
