On the International Space Station, brave astro-pioneers pass the time by making crafts—namely, dream catchers that catch aliens dreaming of the Earth naked. Make your crafting dreams come true with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of beads, crafts, and more at Mariposa Bead Company.

Mariposa Bead Company ornaments artisans with an array of high-end beads, charms, pendants, findings, jewellery-making supplies, and more. Owner Tammy Kliewer founded the high-end crafts boutique after her son was diagnosed with autism and continues to raise funds for important causes and charities. Browse charms, pendants, and beads in a variety of materials, such as crystal ($0.10+ per bead), ceramic ($3+ per bag), metal ($3.50 per bag), and semiprecious gemstones ($0.20+ per bead). String beads onto sterling-silver wire ($8 per foot), fasten onto chains ($4 average price), or delicately thread onto eyelashes. Along with displaying house-made pieces, Mariposa Bead Company gathers one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces from local artists (prices vary by piece, with many around $20). Mariposa Bead Company hosts workshops in courses such as wire wrapping, metal stamping, bead-ripeness identification, and intro to chain mail.
