This pendant has been in her beading supplies for awhile and she figured this was the perfect occasion to use it. The pendant was a cute little heart shape, making it perfect for Valentine's Day jewelry. This necklace would also make a fantastic beach necklace. Kristen used pearl and conch shell beads. Super cute for summer!

Sara needed a break. To say that last year was a little stressful would be a massive understatement. She always finds time to create some jewelry. Hobby/ crafts are a lovely way to decompress and make something beautiful. This world needs all the beauty we can muster!.
Sara decided to share her quality time with our community. She chose our Valentine Passion Bead Strands to make something fun. These strands came in purple and red. Sara took a vote from her live viewers for which color she should use in this project. A combination of the two colors was the overwhelming vote. These bead strands and our Valentine Passion Design Kit (Sold Out) were perfect for creating a gift for the upcoming holiday. Chocolate and roses are fun. But what is better than a heartfelt and handmade gift for your sweetheart? Give them a DIY gift they will cherish forever.
Soft Flex Wire Knitted Charm Bracelet and Earrings for Valentine’s Day
Kristen wanted to make some love themed jewelry. She filmed this episode on MLK day and she reflected on the insightful words Dr. Martin Luther King gave us regarding the strength of love over evil. Love is a better option as hate is too great a burden to bear. And love will always drive out hate, just as light drives out the darkness. It was a good day to think about the power and beauty of love.
Valentine's Day is also on the way. It is a great time to plan out some handcrafted jewelry for a date night - or gift something to a loved one. Don't forget your bestie, give them a beloved piece of hand crafted jewelry for Galentine's Day!
Let's embrace all things love today!
