There is a stand at Epcot in Walt Disney World Florida that sells them too. The ones at Epcot are actually made from old paper products from the parks and all of the money is sent to the women that make them, too.

There is a stand at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World Florida also. I was there in Oct. 2011 and it was the 1st time I ever saw them I bought a necklace and now I make them myself. I love them.

Paper beads are usually nice and colourful but yours are really stunning! Gorgeous necklaces!!! Love your work, thanx for sharing ( especially the instructions on how to cut paper properly, always thought it was difficult to get triangular strips in the same size...it isn't! ) THANK YOU!
