It's Kit Day tomorrow. Are you as excited as we are? Join us, live on our YouTube and Facebook pages, for all of the fun. Sara is going to be unboxing our Aloha Design Kit. We have been celebrating summer, here at Soft Flex. Aloha is a bit of paradise on the islands. The same can be said of our Love is Love Design Kit (Sold Out) - it was as colorful as a Hawaiian rainbow. If you love beach infused jewelry, you have to join the fun! Before Kit Day begins, let's look at Love is Love. These designs were posted by staff, friends, and members of our VIB Facebook group community.

Finished Jewelry Designs From Our Love Is Love Design Kit
Live Beading Party with Special Guests Nealay Patel, Andrew Thornton and Sam Siegel
We love a beading party! James put a lot of heart into organizing and creating our Love is Love Design Kit (Sold Out). Since this kit was a larger collaboration than others, we knew we had to throw a party to celebrate the colorful kit. See what we made and what our friends made with this electric collection of jewelry making supplies.
Sara Oehler Designs
Sara unboxes all of our kits (unless we have a surprise guest). She tries to go in as blind as possible and then she creates finished jewelry after opening the kit. It isn't easy to work in front of a live audience, but she is great at showing grace under pressure.
Kristen Fagan Designs
Kristen has a series on YouTube called Free Spirit Beading. If you enjoy watching an artist at work, you will love this show! Kristen believes that accidents will happen, but you shouldn't get frustrated, you can use that accident as part of your design. Be a free spirit and go with the flow. Don't let a trivial mistake bring you down, own it and make your jewelry magical!

VIB is a great place to visit. It is an online bead gathering. It is a place to chat and meet new friends. It is a great way to stay social. You can learn a new tip or technique daily. You can get inspired by the gorgeous jewelry designs other people in the community post. You can also get your own jewelry gently critiqued if you want pointers on how to make your designs really stand out. We love wallflowers and chatty designers alike. Lurk or showcase your talent. You are going to love our fun club.
