Overview
Experienced crafters know that finishing touches make all the difference. It’s that same experience that taught you how to score a piece of cardboard to yield a crisp, clean edge, and that pressing as you sew can strengthen a seam to runway perfection. Now’s the time to document what you’ve learned over the years for those who are just starting out! The Crafting 101 Contest is all about those small yet important tips that take your crafts from homemade to handmade.
All breeds of crafters are encouraged to share their know-how. Weave to your hearts content, ready your X-acto knife, embellish, embroider, or whip out the sewing machine. Show us everything you make and all the love you put into it.
Prizes are provided by Silhouette and Lumi, and there will be a special judges’ prize for papercraft projects. Winners will take home a Silhouette Cameo machine, 12x24 cutting mat, Silhouette vinyl starter kit, Lumi photo printing kit, and more!
