2025 Out of the Box Challenge!

2025 Out of the Box Challenge!

We’re so excited to announce our latest creative event – the Out of the Box Felting Challenge! This is your chance to let your imagination run free, experiment with colour and texture, and maybe even win a fantastic prize.

What’s in the Challenge Pack?

To take part, you’ll need our specially curated Out of the Box Challenge Pack. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to spark your creativity:

  • Selection of beautifully shaded Corriedale and Merino wool
  • Sparkling Angelina silver fibres
  • A sheet of felt fabric

These materials are designed to inspire your felting project – but how you use them is entirely up to you.

What Are the Rules?

To make sure the challenge is fair and fun for everyone, here are a few simple rules to follow:

  • You can make anything you like using the Challenge pack. All the different items must be used, but each one doesn't need to be used in its entirety.
  • Mixed media is welcome, but the main technique must be felting (either wet or dry).
  • Additional elements from your own supplies can be used: these could include wire, pipe cleaners, eyes, beads, thread etc.
  • Up to three fibres from your own supplies can be added.

What Is the Prize?

We know you’ll enjoy the making process, but there’s an exciting prize to be won too. Three winners will be chosen - one at random, one by a previous Challenge winner and one by the CKC team*. Each winner will receive a £50 voucher to spend with CKC. Imagine how many fabulous new kits, supplies, or materials you could treat yourself to with that prize!

When Can I Start Crafting?

You can start as soon as you’ve got your Challenge Pack in hand! Get experimenting with your wool, fibres, the sheet of felt, and let your imagination run wild.

How Do I Enter?

Entries must be uploaded to the Out of the Box Challenge album in our friendly Craft Your Way To Happiness Facebook group on 5th December 2025. Judging takes place on the weekend of the 6th and 7th December. The winner will then be announced on 8th December 2025. Don’t forget to share your photo in the group for everyone to admire – we love seeing the creativity that shines through in every challenge.
