The making of beads has been a tradition in many cultures since the beginning of time. Although used for adornment, beads can also have spiritual and cultural significance. Beads are still very important in Kenya and Tanzania today. Not only are they used for personal adornment and some tribal ceremonies, they are one of the exports from the region. The oldest beads were made of stones and shells, but as civilization advanced, so did the materials used for beading. Today, most of the beads are wood, glass or ceramic, but in recent years the rolled paper beads have also been added to their exports.<\/p>\n

Here is a tutorial for making your own rolled paper beads. Because the beads are rolled on straws, they will have a large center hole making it easier for children to roll and string. If adults are making the beads, beads can be rolled around items as small as toothpicks.<\/p>\n
