We know that a lot of you guys do, so today we have a little craft competition especially for you, courtesy of the lovely Hillarys Blinds for the chance to win £1000!
Hillarys approached us to be judges for their Country Craft Competition for craft bloggers and we were so happy to be a part of it. We will be judging all the entries alongside Hilary from Craft Blog UK, Rosie & Hannah from The New Craft Society, Caroline from Burkatron and the Hillarys design team. It is an honour to be on a panel with these inspirational, British, crafty ladies!
To enter the competition, all you need to do is:
Fill in the contact form and choose which one of the four Country Retreat fabrics you would like to use in your project. (they are free!)
A 1m x 1m piece of your chosen material
will be sent to you.
Put your
creative talents to the test by making an original craft project or design using the fabric and you can add any other materials you want for the project.
Here is where being a blogger is key... Publish a blog post with photos, describing how you made your entry and don’t forget to mention the competition page in your post.

Hillarys were kind enough to send us some samples of the fabrics so we could give you some inspiration. We customised a denim jacket with the gorgeous Peacock design, with the help of some Bondaweb and sequin embellishments. Sammy made a fold over clutch bag from her favourite fabric and we covered a clipboard with some more of the peacock print. The fabric was so lovely to work with, not too heavy, but sturdy enough to be hard wearing. The colours are so lovely and the print quality is just superb.
If you want to see a tutorial on covering a clipboard in fabric head over to Claireabelle makes blog and check out the guest post from fellow judge Caroline (Burkaton).
We wish you all the best of luck and can't wait to see what you all make with Hillarys gorgeous fabrics! Don't forget to let us know too, you can tweet or Instagram us with #livelovemake so we can take a look.
