It's time for Halloween, our favorite holiday! Get ready to make a costume, build a haunted house, cook up some gruesome treats, or any other spooky activity! Once again we're celebrating with our Halloween Contest, our biggest contest of the year!
The Halloween Contest has different categories, each with its own awesome set of prizes. Win something cool in Costumes, Decorations, Props, Food, Green, Video and Slideshow for those who just want to share their photos. Don't worry about what category your entry will be in, just enter the best Halloween-related Instructable you can and we'll take care of the rest!
This year we've gathered another great set of prizes. We have sewing machines from SINGER, a CarveWright machine for wood designs, EL wire from thatscoolwire.com, Ponoko gift certificates, and so much more! Take a peek at the Prize tab to see all of the awesome things we'll be giving away!
So what are you waiting for? Get going and make something spookily awesome. We can't wait to see what it is!
