Kit Day is tomorrow! Are you ready for the most creative and inspiring day of the month? Join us, live on our YouTube and Facebook pages. We will be unboxing our Parisian Couture Design Kit (Sold Out). See what Sara makes with her kit. And then make sure to visit our Facebook group - VIB. Once Sara has shown the contents of the mystery kit, our group members post their finished jewelry. To get in the spirit, before the big reveal, let's see what our community and talented designers made with our previous kit - the Pastel Party Design Kit (Sold Out).
Kit Day is almost here! Make sure you join us tomorrow for the reveal of the last month's mystery themed jewelry making kit. We are also debuting our newest kit. Kit Day is so much fun. We are sure it will be your favorite day of the month, too!
If you love spring jewelry, you are going to adore this refreshing collection of finished jewelry from our Pastel Party Design Kit (Sold Out). We love to challenge creators with each kit. For our Pastel Party, we added some fun Vintaj items. See what our friends made and see what we made! Did you buy this kit? Make sure you share your finished designs on our group!
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!
