Wearing bead jewelry is a great way to look, chic and fashionable and now its also environment friendly. Instead of using beads, it can now be made from paper. In fact, Marva Masai is doing just that; she makes bead jewelry out of paper and sells them under the name Mejoi Wearable Art. She uses colorful pages from magazines and newspapers to roll into tiny tubes and barrels as a form of bead making.
To make each bead, she rolls a small piece of paper onto a narrow object, like a toothpick or skewer, and then adds a ceramic-like finish with a clear top-coat made by Plaid. After drying, the beads are then strung together along with purchased beads made of different materials such as glass, crystals, semi-precious stones and pearls. The bead jewelry items made by her are ethnic looking necklaces, bracelets, earrings and anklets. Masai says that most of her customers are older women who like paper bead jewelry made by her because it is affordable and lightweight.
Masai started making jewelry since she was six years old but she did not start making paper bead jewelry until three years ago. Her necklaces average a price of about $20 or $60 and she makes around 200 beads every day.
