We celebrated our favorite day of the month this week - Kit Day. The last Wednesday of each month is a Soft Flex Company 'holiday'. It is a day when we unbox our most recent kit and announce our newest. Our jewelry making kits are themed and full of wonderful beading supplies. This week, we opened our spookiest kit of the year - Spider Queen! If you love Halloween jewelry, come check out the fun!
We celebrated a spine tingling Kit Day and had a lot of fun thinking about holiday jewelry this week. If ghosts and goblins ain't your thing - no worries, there are a lot of fall jewelry projects, too! Make sure you check out our latest kit. It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and we are donating proceeds from our latest kit to a charitable organization that helps people stricken with the terrible disease.
Kristen kicked this week off with a bracelet that is a real autumn beauty. Add some fall fashion to your wardrobe! Sara held court with the Spider Queen. Our themed kits make it easy to make themed jewelry. This kit is a spooky way to add some Halloween to your beading supplies.
Take a deeper dive into the Spider Queen's nest! Janet Boyer and Rosanna Brafford unboxed the kit and gave their impressions of the wonderfully venomous contents.
Nealay Patel and guest Sam Siegel held a fun jewelry class. Kay Goss showed us how to make free form earrings. Randee Brown served up coffee and a fun jewelry demonstration. Finally, Monica Dockery unboxed our Peace and Love kit. If you hurry, you can still grab this groovy collection of beads!
Pink Warrior Support Squad Design Kit
Help us raise money for a great cause! Buy a kit before October 26th, our next Kit Day, and 10% of your kit purchase will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Pink Warriors Unite! Be a part of a force for good. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are thinking pink. We are donating proceeds from our latest kit to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This charity supports education, early detection, and funds cancer research. The NBCF also ensures that wealth is not a factor when seeking diagnosis and help. Join the Support Squad and spread awareness. Let your sisters know they are not alone in a scary time. Pink power!
Sara will be doing a live broadcast on the Soft Flex Facebook page and YouTube Page, with the Pink Warrior Support Squad Design Kit from Soft Flex Company, on Wednesday, October 28th at 3pm (PT).
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!

Spider Queen Jewelry Making Design Kit Reveal
Sara is getting into the haunted spirit of Halloween. She unboxed our wickedly delicious new jewelry making kit and wove her own little spider bracelet. This kit is a great gift for frightful fans of all things scary. The assorted collection of beads inside is gothic and fun. Add this mystery kit to your beadings supplies and you will have a decadent mix of spooky beads!
"All rise! The queen is arriving!"
Thunder shakes the throne room and a shadow descends from the high dome above. The titan widow plunges down in a magnificent column of spider silk and crypt dust. She lands with the tiny taps of arachnid paws on tile. The sound echoes in the breathless chamber. Lightning flashes and the queen changes form. She is human, cloaked in black dress and gossamer web. Spiderlings dance on her shoulders. This frightful monarch is here to spread Halloween cheer. Do you dare accept her dark offerings?
