Review of the Previous Contest

Our previous two-month contest wrapped up with great results! Running from February through March, you brought us everything from upcycled pet furniture to handcrafted Christmas decorations, woodworking projects to textile creations. The extended timeline gave everyone more room to develop ambitious projects or finish multiple projects without time pressure and additionally, the prize pool is bigger :D

Thank you for your dedication and the passion you put into every build! Big thanks to everyone who joined this time:

A note about our new format: We've decided to keep our contests running every two months for now. This gives you more time to perfect your projects, allows us to offer bigger prize pools than last year and to counter-act the lack of engagement we all experience lately because of the crypto world. Quality over quantity - we can't wait to see what you'll create with the extra time!

This Month: ☀️🏖️ DIY Summer Vibes Edition 🎨

Let's create projects that celebrate summer vibes through our own hands. Build beach accessories from scratch, decorate your patio, craft summer gear, or create full-blown outdoor experiences. Your hands, your rules, your summer vibes!

Why We Do This?

Because summer brings people together from young to old and sparks creativity that can last a full lifetime. Through handmade projects we can build the summer items we always wanted to use, honor the sunny days we love, and customize our summer experience. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned crafter or first-time creator: Let's craft, relax, and innovate.

🌸 What Can You Create?

Possibilities are endless, whether you work with wood, electronics, cardboard, or fabric. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

• Design and build a summer or beach game
• Stitch your favourite summer motif on a t-shirt or beach towel
• Craft picnic baskets, sunglass cases, or drink holders
• Repair or restore summer gear and outdoor fans
• Create custom planters or outdoor decor
• Design summer-themed furniture, shelves, or display cases
• Make sun hats or accessories for your favorite summer activities
• Create decoration based on your favourite summer memories
• Level up your outdoor space with new light setups
• ...

🌿 Be Eco-Friendly ♻️

As always, we encourage the use of natural or recycled materials whenever possible. Old beach gear, cardboard boxes, broken outdoor furniture, scrap wood, fabric scraps, or unused craft supplies can all become something amazing. Let's keep our summer vibes sustainable and creative 🌎

Thank you for making summer greener and more hands-on!
