Paper Bauble Decoration // Marigold

A folded paper decoration made from Hyacinth paper with cotton string. An ingenius design where the ball unfurls and joins with magnets concealed at both ends; at the end of the season store the decoration away flat for use again next year.

Both the paper and the decoration itself are made by women artisans at a fair trade workshop in Bangladesh. Hyacinth is a water flower which grows profusely, clogging waterways and becoming a nuisance to village infrastructure. The flowers are harvested and made into paper for crafts and stationery.
