It’s back… the Make of the Month Competition!

We run a ‘Make of the Month’ competition and, each month, a lucky crafter wins a £10 voucher to use on the Amazing Craft website.  It’s simple to enter and all you need to do (other than create something!) is to post a photo of your creation, along with the hashtag #MakeOfTheMonth, on either the Amazing Crafters Facebook group or send it tothe Amazing Craft Instagram page and we will post it for you.

Your creation can be anything that you would like to share and the winner will be whoever has the most likes or shares by the end of the month.   If you would like to enter, simply post a photo of your handmade creation on one of our Social Media pages.  Closing Date:  The closing date for each month will be the last day of the month.  Any entry will be entered into the current month’s competition.

T&C’s
