We made a splash this summer with a themed jewelry making kit. The Turtle Love Design Kit (Sold Out) was a celebration of the ocean and the life teeming within it. One iconic animal is among our favorites - the Hawksbill sea turtle. This adorable swimmer is a deep water explorer, but they usually find home near shore. Unfortunately, this icon of the ocean is listed as Critically Endangered as its population is shrinking. Show your turtle love! Spread awareness. Check out the finished jewelry designs from this kit and make sure you visit us for Kit Day today! If you have not joined us for Kit Day before, inspiration is only a page away. The next chapter is full of fun! Watch as we unbox our recent kit and reveal our newest curated collection of beading supplies!
Kit Day is here! We are releasing our newest kit today 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.

Spread turtle love and awareness!
Hawksbill sea turtles navigate the ocean with the grace of a bird in flight. Their flippers are almost winglike and are powerful tools for the turtle to glide through the vast expanse of ocean. These magnificent swimmers have been tracked traveling thousands of miles in their lifetimes. They tend to inhabit coral reefs and foraging areas near the shore. Hawksbills use their birdlike beak to hunt for food in hard to reach crevices in the reef. The Hawksbill Turtle is endangered. Humans unintentionally bycatch them during fishing operations. They get trapped in nets and gear. Pollution, warming oceans, and reef threats are a peril to their habitats and homes. Spread awareness with your turtle jewelry. Support conservation societies and organizations that seek to bring these beautiful animals back from the brink of extinction. Show your turtle love!

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 enchanting ocean themed jewelry, go to our VIB group. In the 'Search this group' field (or magnifying glass icon on the upper right), type or paste this: #turtle. This will search the themed designs we hash tagged.
