Made with recycled magazine paper by a women’s co-op in Uganda.
Fully biodegradable and water resistant.
In addition to having a financial impact on a community far away from the Crescent City, these paper beads aim to broaden the appeal of unique, handmade and environmentally sensitive Mardi Gras throws. The artisans are offered a fair wage that is well above what they would normally make, leading to an improvement in not only their lives, but the lives of their children and families.
Atlas Handmade Beads, a New Orleans small business, offers beads and bracelets made from recycled magazine paper.
Bead paper and tag are biodegradable and compostable.
