Forest Walk

This month's Sam’s Bead Box is forest works in magical layers, from roots to forest floor to the tops of the tree canopy. Each layer has its purpose and supports the others in the ecosystem. Sam and his team took inspiration from this ingenuity of nature to curate a jungle theme that layers a luscious gradient of color and texture. At the center of this box you'll find a Nunn Design tree of life, complemented by tones of olive green, warm amber, smoky topaz, and terracotta. We specially customized bees, dragonflies, elephants and flowers to bring the forest to life. Be sure to grab your mystery box and get to creating your own forest wonders!
