Super Crafty Kidz

We are kicking off November with our Super Crafty Kidz month sponsored by Klutz! We'll be featuring lots of cool kids craft projects such as no sew aprons, flower ponytail holders, marzipan animals, and more. We'll also feature fun projects from Klutz books and kits! Today's project is this decorated felt photo frame by Diane Gilleland that can be easily clipped onto your backpack or messenger bag.

As a special this month, CRAFT readers will get 25% off all Klutz books by using the promo code: CRAFT.

Me, My Scarf, and I Contest

CRAFT and SINGER® present the Me, My Scarf, and I Contest. Fall is upon us, and what better accessory than a scarf! We invite all of our crafty readers to participate and create a sewn scarf that best describes your personality! All entries must have some portion created using a sewing machine.

The Me, My Scarf, and I Contest will run for 6 weeks, and the Prize winners will be announced by Monday, November 30th. Deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. PDT November 23, 2009. Each entry will be judged based on the following criteria: creativity of design, description of how the scarf represents the creator, and the use of a sewing machine in the creation process. Please see Official Rules for more information on the winner selection.

To submit an entry, simply take a picture of yourself wearing your scarf, include a description of how the scarf describes your personality, and submit it to the Me, My Scarf, and I Contest Flickr Group.
