Love is in the air! We celebrated February with a Valentine's Day inspired kit. Our Lovebug Design Kit (Sold Out) was Cupid approved and curated with passion. We loaded this adorable collection of jewelry making supplies with hearts and cute beads. We even added a cute critter to each kit. This mix was perfect for romantic designs and jewelry for your favorite gal pals. Check out the finished jewelry designs from our friends and community and make sure you visit us tomorrow, for Kit Day!
Kit Day is on the way! We are releasing our newest kit tomorrow and unboxing our previous kit. You can find our kit reveal shows on our Facebook and YouTube pages.
Check out our Design Kits! Each kit is a themed collection of beading supplies. You never know where one of our kits will transport you! All of our kits are thoughtfully designed and curated. You are going to love the supplies inside! Our kits are limited in quantity and usually sell out before the end of the month. At the end of each month, we reveal our recent kit on the Soft Flex Facebook page and YouTube Page. Open your kit when you get it or wait for Sara to reveal the contents and open yours along with us live!
Our kits are great for skill building. We want our kits to feel challenging. We want them to be accessible for beginners and advanced designers alike, but we love to throw in elements that may seem difficult to test our beaders skills and make them think out of the box. Our kits may be inspired by a colorway or theme, but they are meant to be creative interpretations. Imagination and innovation do not follow the rules. Expect the unexpected.

Lovebug Jewelry Making Kit Reveal
Love is in the air! Dance in the honeyed skies with us. Ladybird beetles, or more commonly - ladybugs, are a symbol of good luck, prosperity, protection, and love. We paired these lovely ladies with friendly bees. Bees are symbols of wisdom, harmony, and abundance. This delightful collection is inspired by the promise of Cupid's visit. It is an ode to the sweet serenity of a happy heart. May your year be rich with warm feelings and good spirits. Wear a talisman of love-a-plenty, your DIY design is sure to be a hit! Take flight with our Lovebug kit!
If you'd like to join us in the design challenge next month, buy this kit and challenge yourself to try something new and unexpected. If you are new to beading, this kit comes with findings, beads, wire, and surprises.

We think jewelry is great when it is easy. But when you really have to engage your mind and process your materials and tools, we think that your jewelry has the potential to be life changing.

We gathered a small assortment of fun designs from our VIB Facebook group. There were so many wonderful ideas and jewelry pieces. You really need to join our group to see them all. A lot of our members also have stores online. If you see a design you love, make sure you let the designer know. They may sell you that design or at least let you know how they made it. We would love to see your work too, join us today!
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.
If you would like to see more cute Valentine's jewelry, go to our VIB group. In the 'Search this group' field (or magnifying glass icon on the upper right), type or paste this: #lovebug. This will search the themed designs we hash tagged.
