The Philippines
Click here to see the Bracelet Filipino Bracelet
Crafted by: Agustina

All of these bracelets are made from recycled paper.

Each sheet of paper - be it a magazine, a poster, or even a cigarette paper - is cut into long triangular strips.  Each triangle is then rolled into a tight ball to make the shape of the bead.  The bead is then dipped into varnish to give its hardness.
