Multicolor Wax Bracelet, Thailand

Multiple strands of brightly colored wax, expertly knotted at various intervals, create a
whimsical design in this handcrafted bracelet.

Handmade by Thaivillage artisans. Thaivillage empowers families in Thailand by providing vocational training and employment. They also support Christian education and many community based programs.
