The Sugar Lulu Design Your Own Jewelry Kits encourage girls to express their creativity, individuality, and style through the unique designs that they create. Girls can design each charm the way they want and then wear the jewelry in lots of different ways (check out www.sugarlulu.com to see the latest jewelry video).  It’s so fun and easy…just layer the background sticker first, collage your own design, and then seal it with a sticky bubble topper. It’s that simple, and the results are beautiful!  The Jewelry Kits include everything girls need to create their one-of-a-kind designs all packed in a pretty patterned collectible tin. The kits include: Charm Necklace Kit, Charm Bracelet Kit, BFF Rings Kit and BFF Pet Charm Kit. The best part about Sugar Lulu Jewelry is that it doesn’t have to stop with just one kit. Girls can get more charms and rings by going to the fully stocked in-store display where each piece is sold separately. It allows girls to continue to add to their collection of one-of-a-kind designs. Every piece is uniquely engraved so that both sides of the jewelry are special.
