Chelsea has really put many hours of planning and preparations into this project and approached the ladies group from the Thomassin Church who chose 3 people to learn how to make paper bead jewelry. Following a day of training at the Apparent Project, we have been meeting each Thursday morning to continue learning together. Finally today we were able to put together our first necklaces and bracelets.
Next week each of the ladies will bring the beads that they will make this week at home and once they have made some necklaces and bracelets we will begin selling them to visitors. A large portion of the sale of the jewelry goes directly to the ladies who make them. These ladies are very pleased knowing that they will soon be able to make some much needed money to help support their families.

| We start with basic cardboard boxes. As you can see anything at least 8 inches tall works. |
 |
| The boxes are cut into triangular wedges which are then rolled on a stick. |
