The Mumsnet Summer Loom Band Challenge - £200 of Hobbycraft vouchers up for grabs

[RachelCMumsnet]

Cabin fever setting in when the school holidays have barely begun? Wondering how on earth you're going to keep the DC entertained for six (gulp) whole weeks? Introducing...the Mumsnet Summer Loom Band Challenge.

For anyone who has been living under a rock for the last few months doesn't know what loom-banding is, here's a quick guide.

Like those of you who saw it, we at MNHQ were most impressed with the loom band dress that recently sold for more than £170,000 on eBay, and it got us wondering what loom brilliance Mumsnetters' offspring were capable of.

Post pictures of your DC's best creations below, and our favourite (loom band gin bottle anyone?) will win a £100 Hobbycraft voucher, with two £50 vouchers available for runners-up.

The competition is open until midnight on Sunday 10 August.

In hope and solidarity - September will be soon be looming (oh yes, we went there),

Just to say we're loving the entries so much we've decided to extend the closing date until midnight on Sunday 10 August, rather than tomorrow

this one is so cute... well done :)

DD wanted me to show you all her first attempt at a horse. She's really proud of it but was annoyed she didn't have enough of one colour so it's a bit mismatched.

Oh and a cat.
