The March Challenge is:

"30 Minute Challenge"

We are asking our EtsyMetal Team members to pick one project from either the

"30 Minute Rings Book" or "30 Minute Bracelets Book"

 (Author Marthe Le Van, Publisher Lark Crafts.)

 

And then make the project as described in the book, but here's the fun twist, they have to incorporate their juju, style, & personality into the piece, thus transforming it into their personal style. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

 

This Challenge will be due March 31st!
