Scissors and paper for collage-making

We challenged six makers to create a craft challenge for people to try at home each week of the summer holidays. The rules were simple; each challenge uses minimal materials that can be found around the home and should take no more than 15 mins to complete... (we'll see about that!)

Whether you're young or old, a professional maker or craft enthusiast, this challenge is for you. All you need to do is have a go at the activity, take a snap and share it with us online using #SummerCraftChallenge or #EverydayMaking or send a photo to participation@craftscouncil.org.uk.

Week by week, the activities and makers will be revealed here and on social media with simple instructions for you to follow. Each week the champion crafter will be the winner of a £20 Hobbycraft voucher to keep you busy over the holidays.
