All those thinking of creating a sustainable beadwork business to uplift the local community, why not try something like this rather? Beadwork is a little overdone at the moment don’t you think?

Hi Shane!
Just love the Recycled Tyre Pots business idea. They look stunning, what a creative thought, huh…! Could I have more information i.e., how do I go about acquiring stock? Who should I contact? or do I need to buy the business idea online?

Hi Esther
I’m glad you like them! The reason why I posted this was because I think these can be easily made in SA – the ones I mentioned are manufactured overseas (i think) – not sure if anyone has done anything similar in SA?? Why don’t you take an entrepreneurial step and take the SA market by storm. It’s yours to take.
