This first bracelet was made with the reuse of the toilet paper roll tube. I wanted the whole cycle to be sustainable, from material to production, and I went after a social project. The production is all make by Oficina de Papel, an institution that serves low-income people with mental illness and vulnerability. They also make colorful recycled craft papers. Together we managed to do this work with purpose.
