We use these recycled glass beads in some of our designs and it is so cool to see how they are made! I would love to see more "behind the scenes" videos like this in the future

So cool to see the process...I hope they are able to get paid very well for making all of these by hand! I would feel very good about buying these and the money going to the people of Ghana.
