Overview

Sometimes the best projects are the simplest ones. We’re celebrating projects and recipes that have just three materials or ingredients in the Three-Ingredient Challenge!

Food and non-food Instructables are eligible. The important criteria is that your project is made with just three things!
The winner will take home a brand new iPad Mini, and all finalists will win a multi tool and Instructables prize packs.
