Current Craft Challenges!

This month features some interesting craft challenges around the net!

Crafster is featuring a "Super Ugly to Super Awesome" challenge that involves revamping a thrift store/flea market item and taking it from awful to brilliant! The prizes are great and the scope is pretty broad - just about anyone could think of a good entry for this one.
Entries are due December 1st through 5th, so there's plenty of time!

The EtsyMN Street Team is challenging members to submit an entry for their December challenge with a snow/ice theme. I've gotten my entry in, can't wait to see the others!
Posted items are due by November 30th - the details aren't posted on the blog yet, but their on the Yahoo Group pages.

Upload a video of you performing a tutorial of a craft to YouTube and submit if for this contest on CraftyPlaces by May 2nd - I know that's not a lot of time, but dude, go for it!

Craft Challenge Alert! May 1st - May 6th, 2007

If you're a Craftster member, you may have already heard of this - if you're not, and you enjoy pre-made felt and all of it's potential, you may be interested in joining (free) just for this Challenge occasion!
Craftster.org has challenged crafters to re-create any inanimate object using only felt (and of course, anything you need to sew it together) - so basically, anything non-animal/person that you want, out of FELT!
Oh man, my ideas are running wild, I love felt and I have a ton of it. This challenge is going to rock. Seriously - JOIN the FELT CHALLENGE!
