Join us for the Holiday Crafting Merry-Thon! This holiday season, we want to inspire you to make it merry! We love a creative challenge and took a page from are Joyful Beading challenge you all love so much. From December 1st to 25th we invite you to join us for some merry making.
In December, we are hosting 25 days of crafting and jewelry prompts. DIY jewelry & décor ideas designed to lift your mood, ignite your holiday spirit and share in our VIB Studio Community with other lovers of handmade beaded creations!
