Discover the timeless art of paper bead making! Originating in the Victorian era, when women crafted jewelry from wallpaper, this creative tradition continues to thrive around the world, especially in parts of Africa, where it’s celebrated for its color and beauty.
In this fun and festive camp, we’ll give new life to old materials—books, magazines, newspapers, flyers, and even junk mail... transforming them into vibrant handmade beads. Using simple tools, campers will design and create their own paper beads, then combine them with colorful commercial beads to craft necklaces, chokers, and bracelets.
Perfect for holiday gift-giving, these one-of-a-kind creations are sure to delight moms, grandmas, aunts, or anyone special!
All levels welcome. Appropriate for kids ages 9 - 14 years old.
