Sara Oehler Designs
We have the most fun kits. We have tool kits for designers that want to add new tools to their beading supplies. We offer starter kits to beginners that need all of the basics and best options. And we offer mystery design kit collections that are themed. If you have the tools, a themed mystery kit includes everything else you need to create a bunch of unique jewelry.
Our gallery staff puts our Design Kits together. Our creative crew dreams up a fantastic theme and builds an amazing kit with colors, shapes, and wire that most represents the theme. Their ideas are eclectic and exciting. We have featured themes of empowerment, flashy neon palettes inspired by 80's retro, and we have had the most holly jolly holiday kits. You are sure to find a theme that speaks to you! All of our kits are unique and are not sold elsewhere. 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!
Our design kits are chock full of goodies. You are definitely getting your money's worth! We load each kit with enough findings, beads, and wire to last you through a bunch of unique jewelry designs. Even though the contents are themed, you will find that the beads shiny stuff inside can always be used for other occasions.
Kristen Fagan Designs
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.
If you are a beginner bead stringer and would like some pointers, our kits are perfect for a springboard into handcrafted jewelry. Our themed jewelry supplies are enough to get you started - as long as you have the tools on hand. You can then follow along on our Facebook group and get pointers from others using the same sets of beads and findings. It is a great way to network and to learn. If you get really stuck, you can call or email us. We are here to help!
Our design kits are aimed at a general audience. We try to include elements inside that will challenge designers of all levels. But it is important to us that all of our kits are accessible to the greenest beginner. You can be sure that your kit will teach you something new. We want you to learn and be a better designer. Occasionally you might find a kit that has a difficult color or wire option. We did not add that to confuse you. We think there is a magical possibility with every little bit of spice we add to our kits. Challenge yourself and think outside of your comfort zone.
If you love earrings, our design kits are a perfect option. They are so easy to make and customize with the contents of our kits. a little beading wire, some crimps - you have some new earrings! We sometimes include ear wires in the kits, but if we do not add them to the particular theme you purchased, you can always find some on our website. It is so easy to make a stunning hoop or elegant dangle. You can design a new pair for every outfit!
