The Bead People
International Peace Project
A peace movement and community celebrating our differences — one handmade bead person at a time.
Who Are We?
We don't just have a mission — we are on a mission. The Bead People International is both a peace movement and a community of like-minded people who believe that we can learn to celebrate our differences instead of fighting wars over them. We want you to join this community! Where else can you:
🎉 Have Fun
Have this much fun spreading a great message.
😊 Laugh & Play
Learn to laugh and play with others — it reduces stress and lowers blood pressure.
🌍 Belong
Feel a part of something bigger than yourself.
🌉 Build Bridges
Build bridges between races, cultures, ages, sizes and shapes.
☮️ Create Peace
Contribute to world peace by becoming peaceful inside and with others.
💛 Spread Joy
Spend so little to spread so much happiness.
We Walk in Peace
We think that war, racism, and bullying arise out of fearing our differences. As you can see, each one of us is completely unique — and yet we share so much. We have hearts that beat, spirits that yearn to create, families to care for. In fact, we are more alike than different.
The Bead People feel that if we could just get to know each other better, we would no longer fear. We need your help to do this. Play, Display, and Send a message of Peace out to the world by getting your own Bead Person.
