Are you ready for Kit Day? Join us, live on our YouTube and Facebook pages tomorrow. We will be unboxing our Love is Love Design Kit. We put a lot of heart into this amazing kit. It is a colorful rainbow of fun. See what Sara makes with her kit and show us what you created with yours. Once Sara has revealed the mystery contents, you can visit our Facebook group - VIB and post your jewelry designs. Our FB group is a great place to get inspired and see how others interpreted their collection of beading supplies. Before the fun begins tomorrow, we are looking at the finished jewelry our community made with our previous kit, the Parisian Couture Design Kit (Sold Out).
Kit Day is tomorrow, you do not want to miss the fun! We will be unboxing our Love is Love Design Kit and making something colorful and exciting. We will also be releasing our newest kit and a bunch of bead mixes and bead strands that you are going to adore. Kit Day is our favorite 'creative holiday' at Soft Flex Company and we think you will love celebrating the joy of making jewelry with us!
Oui! Oui! Today we are soaking in the spirit of the Moulin Rouge and the elegant art of the Eiffel Tower. Our Parisian Couture Design Kit (Sold Out) is our homage to the vibrant style of the City of Lights. We love high fashion. We love the grace and beauty of this romantic city. We think this kit is an elegant mix that evokes the glow of this wonderful French metropolis.
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! Take an adventure into an undersea kingdom with a colorway that is aquatic and amazing. Explore the neon streets with a collection that is infused with the palette of a glossy wet downtown district. Go gothic on Valentine's Day with a dark heart collection of sweet treats. Our themes are meant to transport you and make it easy to make jewelry with an existing colorway to follow. We love to mix it up, too. Our Golden Gate themed Design Kit featured colors that those of us in the Bay Area might find familiar but might not express the colors people think of when they think of the iconic landmark. The rich red span is often hugged in pearlescent fog and is a striking figure against blue skies and soft pink color banded sunsets. All of our kits are thoughtfully designed and curated. You are going to love the supplies inside!
Hurry! 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!
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.
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. 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.
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.
Supplies are very limited. Don’t miss out!
