Sara Oehler Designs
Check out our newest kit! Each month we release a new kit and unbox the last mystery collection for our friends and fans. Our gallery staff puts the Design Kits together. They take a theme and run with it. These themes have explored so many fun worlds and ideas. We have looked at high magic fantasy with a unicorn theme. The romance of seaside Greek villages. We have looked to the holidays for inspiration and have celebrated the people we love. All of our kits are unique and are not sold elsewhere. There are often items in the kit that are exclusive to the kit, beads and components that are not available anywhere else. If you would like to purchase a kit, we release new ones towards the end of each month. Quantities are very limited, so make sure you grab one quick!
If you miss out on one of our jewelry Design Kits, there is still a chance to design with the color palette. We often follow up with Trios Beading Wire Packs and Bead Mixes that share the theme of the Design Kits. This is a good way to grab some of the fun of the Design Kit or enhance the Design Kit you purchased.

Kim Weatherholt showed off her finished designs from her Pretty as a Peacock Design Kit (Sold Out) on her YouTube channel. Our kits are self-contained. You can make a bunch of themed jewelry from a single kit. All you need are basic crimping pliers and cutters. You can also pepper in other elements and beads from your beading supplies if you want to make your own unique jewelry. If you enjoy this video, make sure you visit her channel for more fun!
From Kim:
Hello! I am Kim Weatherholt from the bluegrass state of Kentucky - born and raised here. I have always been a very crafty person ever since I was a little girl, but I really got into making jewelry in teenage years. I enjoy making lots of different styles of jewelry but my favorite things to make are definitely girly and chic. I love using flower beads and anything sparkly. I love creating pieces that I would wear myself, but also pieces that would be suitable for all ages and styles. I consider myself a very versatile yet simple beaded and enjoy making beautiful jewelry!
