Finished Jewelry Designs From Our Happy Owl-Leen Design Kit
Sara Oehler Designs
One thing we love about our themed jewelry making kits is that they are open to creative interpretation. The unique theme of each kit is great for inspiration, but you can follow your own path when creating your jewelry. Our Happy Owl-Leen Design Kit was full of vibrant oranges and lustrous blacks. The very colors of this spooky holiday. Sara unboxed our kit and opted to go for subtle elegance. She avoided the brighter beads and went for a lovely muted palette. She designed a gorgeous necklace. Sara used an owl for a focal and enhanced that with dangles. This necklace would look amazing any time of the year. Make your own graveyard smash with one of our exciting design kits!
Kristen Fagan Designs
One of the most exciting parts of the Happy Owl-Leen Design Kit was the alluring selection of beads included. We added some delightful ceramic beads from Golem Design Studio and some bewitching beads from Jesse James Beads. Kristen paired these enchanting lovelies and made a great set of Halloween earrings. If you want to cast a spell this spooky holiday, these earrings are sure to charm!

We are seeing more and more jewelry making videos from our community. We love it. If you are a creator that works in front of a camera, let us know what you are filming. If you are working with Soft Flex Beading Wire or products, we would love to share the spotlight and put you on centerstage for a bit. Check out some of the fun unboxing videos our community filmed with the Happy Owl-Leen Design Kit (Sold Out).
What Kind Of Halloween Magic Can You Find In A Soft Flex Design Kit?
If you want an idea of what you might find in a Soft Flex Company Kit, check out Sparkle by Monica's kit reveal video. Our kits may be a mystery until they are unboxed at the end of each month, but you can get an unbiased opinion about the products inside by watching YouTube designers that are not affiliated with Soft Flex. YouTube creators offer a look at the contents and then give you a commentary about their thoughts. Sometimes they even design jewelry on the fly and let us see how they envision the contents coming together.
This infectious video is a treat. Our approving owls thought it was a real hoot. You will have a howling time watching this cute video but watch our for ear worms! If you are not singing Jolene by the end of this video, you are made of sterner stuff than we are - Owl-Leen, Owl-Leen, Owl-Leen, Owl-Leeeeeeen!
From Sparkle by Monica:
So excited to show you this Halloween themed Soft Flex Company Mystery Design Kit! These beads are spooktacular! I got an additional kick out of the Jesse James Beads Owl-Leen mix and the spooky storytime intro that Soft Flex provided in the kit which I set to some visuals just for y'all using Canva!

From Marcie Creates:
My name is Marcie Hall and I live in North Texas. I am a mixed media artist, jewelry maker, recipe creator and an avid Dachshund Lover (I have two rescues- Ginger and Cha Cha). I have been an artist my whole life. In my early art days, I would create prints, sculpture, ink drawings and oil paintings. About 25 years ago, I started making jewelry after a friend invited me to take an intro class at my local bead shop - I was hooked! I loved everything about jewelry making- the colors, textures and shapes really spoke to me. Soon I was making jewelry for family and friends and then everyone said, “you should sell your jewelry” and Marcie Hall Designs was born.
I recently started a YouTube channel called Marcie Creates to share my passion for beads, jewelry making, mixed media art and cooking. YouTube is a new venture - I am really enjoying it and would love for you to join me!
