The Smiley Symbol Bracelet

Need a friendly reminder? This 90s throwback will have you remembering all the good times with this smiley face bead bracelet. Check out the other symbol bracelets here, including the matching kid version!

Each bead is made from paper by women in the Horn of Africa. They use colored paper or recycled magazines and measure, cut, roll, and varnish each strip of paper to make a beautiful, unique, bead. Once the beads are dry they are then shipped to the USA and assembled into jewelry by women who are Afghani refugees who are working to provide for their families.
