The papier-mache box the other day made me think of these bits and bracelets, which led to those other plastic bracelets in the same box, and so here they all are. The first three bracelets still have the foil label in them, Made in India. I assumed they were wood, but possibly papier-mache? I had a gorgeous little papier-mache box from Suffering Moses made in Kashmir. I think those bracelets and maybe the bits are from the 70s. The little bits I may have gotten from Mexico, they are tiny, half an inch or so in size. And the hand-painted plastic bangles are from the 80s as I recall. I can never buy one of anything, I have to have all the colors! I hope you enjoy looking at these!
Thanks for the love, aghcollect, and Jewels. :)
Rooooosteeers! And the colorful bracelets are so happiness appealing :-)

Thanks for the love, DrFluffy, vetraio50, and PhilDavidAlexanderMorris. :)
PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, they have little loops in the back so I have always assumed they were meant to be attached as charms to a bracelet or keychain or some such thing. Thanks for your interest. :)
Thanks for the love, SEAN68. :)
Thanks for the love, and for your appreciation, nutsabotas6, yes, they are charming, aren't they? I want to try and figure out now if they are papier-mache, will have to do some research. :) Thanks again!
Thanks for the love, artdecogirl. :)
Beautiful colors:)
Thanks for the love, Manikin, and Trey. :)
Thanks, Trey, these are lovely colors, aren't they? :)
Update on the first bracelets, for anyone who's interested and has some of these, they are Kashmiri papier-mache. Mine happen to be from the 70s, but they still make these type of bracelets in many types of designs.
