We had a stellar week of jewelry making fun and indulging in our favorite crafts. We celebrated our favorite company holiday - Kit Day! Check out the Camp Out Design Kit (Sold Out) we unboxed and see what we made! Our presentation during the Spring Fling installment of the Great Bead Extravaganza was a blast! Sara and Kristen shared physical space for the demonstration as they were both together for Craftcation. We hope you had the chance to watch the show! Check out the highlights of our week and master a new jewelry technique!
We celebrated Kit Day this week! If you are unfamiliar, Kit Day is the day we unbox our most recent kit and release our newest. Once the previous kit has been unveiled, our friends in our VIB Facebook Group post their finished designs. It is a day full of creative energy and high spirits. This week, Sara opened our Camp Out Design Kit (Sold Out). This kit was an homage to National Park Week. Did you know there are 424 sites in the States designated as parks? Let's cherish the lands we are preserving! Let's make jewelry that celebrates the spirit of these untainted areas!
The Great Bead Extravaganza returned!
Sara and Kristen got to catch up on old times and enjoy each others company, in real life, last weekend. The two were together for Craftcation. When the time came for their Great Bead Extravaganza presentation, they got to have a real beading party!
Kay Goss, from Star's Beads, filmed her TGBE presentation with Soft Flex Craft Wire and made amazing wire wrapped rings. These stunning rings are super easy to make and you can be done by dinner once you start the project at home! Cynthia and Azalea, from Green Girl Studios, showed us how to knot between beads for a jewelry design. They also showed us how to wire wrap a bead with Craft Wire. We love watching creative people use our products! We learn something new every time!
