Get crafty in 2024 with an Autumn Challenge!
So what do I have to do?
All you need to do is pre-order the Autumn 24 Challenge Pack which contains five beautiful, seasonal shades of Corriedale wool (they're brand new for the challenge), 1 mini easel, 1 piece of 24 x 24cm wool mix felt for creating your design on and 3 additional shades of wool mix felt. The Challenge Pack is available to purchase right through September. Now it's time to create!
There are a few rules which need to be borne in mind to allow the challenge to be judged fairly:
- 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.
When does it start?
You can start planning right now! The packs will be sent out from 1st September. You don't need to pre-order though, the packs can still be bought after 1st September.
And when can I start creating?
As soon as you receive your pack, you can start creating! You will have until the end of September to create your entry. We would kindly ask you not to share your entries on the Craft Your Way to Happiness group before the 1st of October.
And when do I enter?
Put 1st October 2024 in your diary!
All entries must be uploaded to the Autumn Challenge 2024 Album on the Craft Your Way to Happiness Facebook Group. Entries must be uploaded any time on the 1st October 2024 (up to midnight GMT)
How is the challenge judged?
Judging takes place on the 2nd and 3rd of October, until midnight GMT on the 3rd. Entries are judged by the number of 'likes' on the entry.
The winner is the photo that receives the highest number of likes. The Craft Your Way to Happiness group is a public group, and we encourage you to share your entries with friends and family on Facebook. Please be aware that your entry may receive 'likes' and comments from appreciative strangers!
Is there a prize?
The winner receives £100 credit from The Crafty Kit Company to spend on anything on the website! What a brilliant bonus to the pleasure of having a little bit of crafty creation whilst making your Challenge piece.
