Kit Day is tomorrow and we are celebrating hanami or flower viewing. Hanami is the Japanese tradition of viewing the blooming sakura or cherry blossom. The delicate pink canopy of the cherry blossom is a brief spectacle of beauty that only happens once a year. Sara will reveal the contents of our Cherry Blossom Design Kit and make jewelry, live on our social media. Afterwards, our friends will post their designs in our VIB Facebook group. Come join the fun! Today we are looking at the finished jewelry our community posted from our Wonderland Jewelry Making Kit (Sold Out). Take a trip down the rabbit hole with us!
Check out the finished designs from our Wonderland Design Kit (Sold Out)! We are looking at Sara's kit unboxing and the jewelry she made with the contents. Kristen showed us how to make gorgeous spring jewelry designs with her kit. Rosanna Brafford, Brittany Chavers and Beki Foster opened our kits on their YouTube channels and shared their videos with us. And finally, see what the members of our VIB Facebook group made with their kits. One fun thing about our kits is the wild variations of possibilities. You might make a pair of earrings, while another designer might opt for a multi-strand necklace with a button for a clasp - it is so much fun seeing how a single set of beading supplies can be turned into so many unique jewelry designs. And every kit is loaded with supplies! You can make a bunch of jewelry for a nice low price!
Need a boost of inspiration? Make sure you visit us on Kit Day! You can find our 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. You are going to love the supplies inside! 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!
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. 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.

"Curiouser and curiouser!”
~ Lewis Carroll
Do you believe impossible things? I daresay, you must follow and see what the day brings. Down the rabbit hole we will go! We have so many sights to share. A slick grinning cat and befuddled hare. We have riddles and impassible doors, secret gardens and treasure filled drawers. Drink our floral tinctures and grow ten feet small. Stand on a mushroom where caterpillars crawl. The Queen of Hearts is in a foul mood, her army of cards is a most wicked brood. Don't fear the worst, this needn't be tragic, for we will be safe in this mad world of magic!
Kristen Fagan
Free Spirit Beading is our weekly YouTube series featuring our amazing designer, Kristen Fagan. She used our Wonderland Jewelry Making Kit (Sold Out) to create a colorful jewelry set for spring in this episode. The Wonderland kit was a theme based on Alice in Wonderland, but the colors inside are great for seasonal jewelry. Kristen's jewelry set evokes the rich green rebirth and life that we associate with March, April, and May.

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.
