Spread the Craft Contest - The Recap

Well, when we asked everyone to make their best Crafting video, we didn’t fully expect the response we received. From Making Resin Jewelry to DIY Shrinky Dinks, the Crafting community came out in force. You can view all the entries here. In the end, though, Margot Potter’s Crafty Rockstar Grungeboard Pin stood a notch above to take the Grand Prize and a cool $1000. PhotoTony amazed all with his Light Painting lesson and walked away with a cool $500 as the People’s Choice award winner. Thanks to all who participated and stay tuned for our next contest in September (see below)!

The Bounty

  • Grand Prize: $1,000
  • People's Choice: $500
  • MindBites T's for All Entrants

Grand Prize ($1000): Crafty Rock Star Grungeboard Pin

Margot Potter, who lives near Lancaster, is self described as "a super mom, wordsmith, author, TV Spokesperson, chanteuse, thespian, jewelry and mixed media artiste...". She has a blog called the Impatient Blogger and has written and published an instructional jewelry book series called "The Impatient Beader".

In this video, Margot shows off her witty personality, talks to her pet pig named Daisy and does a great job teaching her craft. Her video is entertaining, but the viewer can tell that Margot is no stranger to making crafts.
