Star Maker of The Month

Could you be our next Star Maker of the Month?

At LoveCrafts, we love championing craft bloggers across the craftiverse! Craft blogging is about making and sharing beautiful creations with the world. But it’s more than that. It creates a platform for individuals to teach, encourage and inspire others to make as well. Whether it's written by, a passionate maker or a full-time blogger, each post tells a unique story that connects us to other makers around the world. 

What is Star Maker of the Month?

Star Maker of the Month is an opportunity for craft bloggers to tell us a bit about themselves. We want to hear the funny anecdotes, inspiring stories and heart-warming tales that make you who you are as a maker. It doesn't matter if your blog is big or small; if you post often or every time the making bug gets you; if your blog is a side business or a personal diary. Star Maker of the Month aims to highlight the personal stories and crafting journeys from across the web, regardless of blog size, audience reach or statistics. We want to give every craft blogger a fair chance, so this is a competition that is all about you, and only you.

How do I become Star Maker of the Month?

Each month we'll provide 3 themed questions or prompts for you to think about. To enter, all you have to do is:

1. Write a fabulous blog post inspired by the monthly prompt (it's up to you whether you'd prefer to directly answer the questions or simply take inspiration from the prompt).
2. Include #StarMakeroftheMonth and a link to LoveCrafts.com in the text of your blog post, so we can find your entry when searching the web.

Inspiration that warms our hearts

The idea for the Star Maker of the Month challenge wasn't concocted in a laboratory, grown from a magic bean or picked out of thin air - it was inspired by you, our wonderful community of makers. The magic elves behind LoveCrafts have had the pleasure of reading hundreds of blogs from across the internet, both as part of our work and in our spare time. Your wonderful stories have made us laugh and cry countless times, as well as taught us all-important knitting tips, embroidery stitches & crochet manoeuvres. Here are a few examples of blogs that have warmed our hearts and truly inspired us.
