Thread and Beads

Handicrafts are among the industries in which the artisan puts a significant part of their emotions into their work. My sister, Leen Abdul Rahim, is a fourteen-year-old girl who makes accessories by hand using simple tools such as thread and beads. She started making these accessories about two years ago when she was in the sixth grade, during the development of the COVID-19 crisis, specifically when we were in home quarantine. She began to explore this hobby and make various accessories, from rings to bracelets and different flags. She also started gifting them to her friends at school and on their birthdays. Then, her talent developed, and she began selling them to different people who admired her beautiful work.

”I love making something special to me, something that represents and distinguishes me among my friends. I also saw a beautiful idea in beads, full of life and beauty that I love to spread,” she says.
