Challenge Rules

1. Your entry must be a new project. Back linking is not allowed.

2. You must follow the provided theme, with the theme being immediately obvious, and create a Christmas project.

3. You must link back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge post in your blog post, and include the challenge graphic. Entries from Instagram should use the tag #ChristmasCraftCreations

4. You may enter a maximum of 3 projects per challenge. There is no limit on how many challenges you can enter alongside ours.

Any entries found to not be following the rules may be deleted from the link-up without warning.

A new challenge starts on the second Wednesday of each month at 8am GMT, with a reminder post (and more inspiration!) at the same time on the fourth Wednesday.
