The Happy Barnet Craft Challenge 2022!
Welcome to year FIVE of the Happy Barnet Craft Challenge!! A set of prompts and ideas to help you learn new crafts and develop your existing ones.
How it works
Yellow Challenges and all about fun and inspiration whilst the Blue Challenges are prompts to help learn something new . We’ll be focusing on one from each list each monthly BUT this is a challenge designed for fun and inspiration so you can use these prompts any way that works best for you.
And don’t forget our two bonus challenges! These aren’t linked to any particular month so set yourself these challenges any time you like.
