Sarah Louise Kelly's 'Saloukee' papercraft bangles will appeal to fans of papercraft creations and [one-of-a-kind jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry) alike. These bangles are constructed using meticulous [paper folding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series), hand riveting and precise laser cutting techniques.

The gallery above features just a small sampling of Sarah Louise Kelly's 'Saloukee' papercraft bangles. If you're as accident-prone as I am, however, you probably shouldn't wear these accessories out to the bar, but they're a great way to dress up any outfit.
