Soft Flex Beading Wire combines the best aspects of beading thread and jewelry wire in one. Pliable enough to manipulate with ease, yet sturdy enough to hold its shape and maintain structure, the Soft Flex Beading Wire is a product that stands alone in the jewelry making arena. If you're intimidated by wirework, this flexible wire would be a great transition medium for you. It is much more forgiving than wire, but has more resilience than thread.

Available in complementary color packs cleverly called Trios, Soft Flex Beading Wire comes in a variety of rich and vibrant colors. There is almost certainly a color palette to suit your needs in their Trio collection, but you can also buy individual spools if you prefer. The Trio pictured here, called Vitality, is made up of a spool each of Imperial Topaz, Red Jasper, and Citrine. The names of the colors sound almost as good as they look! The wire also comes in three size options--fine, medium, and heavy--so you can select the size that suits your needs best.

Not sure how to work with the Soft Flex Beading Wire? Not a problem! With the new project book Show Your Colors, you'll never be short on design inspiration. The book contains 30 full-color, step-by-step tutorials complete with photos (and, interestingly enough, named after Cher songs, movies, and trivia), so it's incredibly easy to follow along. Among this project guide's vibrant pages, you'll find strung projects, illusion designs, knit designs, woven projects, and more. Plus, the book starts off by covering the basics with some helpful "101s", so if you're a novice, you're not left in the dust. It even provides a handy color chart (reminiscent of those little color cards that come with mood rings), explaining which color palettes evoke which emotions. All in all a very comprehensive guide that gives you all the tools you need to get started creating your own fabulous Soft Flex jewelry!
