We celebrated Kit Day this week. If you have never purchased a kit from us, you are missing out on a sweet treat! All of our kits are themed. The colorway inside is built around a holiday, an inconic artist, a fantastical element, or something totally unexpected. Kit Day lands on the last Wednesday of every month. On that day, we release our latest kit, we reveal the contents of our previous kit, and our VIB community posts their finished jewelry on our Facebook group. It is a day of pure creativity and joyful beading with fellow jewelry makers. Check out the sakura flower snowstorm inside our Cherry Blossom Design Kit! We gathered an assortment of beading supplies that evokes the floral canopy of this lovely flower!
If you love making spring jewelry, you are going to enjoy this recap! Kristen showed us how to make gorgeous wire wrapped earrings with Czech Glass flowers. Sara unboxed our Cherry Blossom kit and made a stunning floral necklace and earrings to match.

Cherry Blossom Jewelry Making Kit Reveal
Celebrate 'hanami' with us! Hanami, or 'flower viewing' is the Japanese tradition of observing the blooming 'sakura' or cherry blossom. Hanami is gathering with friends or loved ones and enjoying food, tea, or companionship under the delicate pink canopy of cherry blossoms. Nature only gives us a sliver of time to view this majestic experience. It is as fleeting and wonderful as life itself. Be in the moment and appreciate this ephemeral gift of beauty. Cherish the arrival of spring and the wonders of nature as we walk beneath the waving petals of the cherry blossom.
