How is Jewelry Made from Recycled Saris?

Worn cotton saris in India are repurposed into quilts, creating a traditional textile called "kantha." With the distinctive running stitch pattern, the saris are given a second life. Scraps from these quilts are then used by WorldFinds artisans to make jewelry! Each bead starts with a scrap of wood salvaged from a local furniture factory. Once the wood beads are wrapped in colorful kantha fabric, they are ready to be transformed into necklaces, earrings and bracelets! Click here to learn more on our blog.
