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

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),

@schilke

How many entries can they have? Dd1 is rummaging around in her loom creations box now...

You can upload as many photos as you like, but only one will count.

Excellent entries so far folks - very impressed!

Wow - have come back from holiday to some absolutely smashing entries; can see this is going to be a tough call! Still a few more days to keep 'em coming, and should add for anyone wondering that we will take your DC's ages into account when judging Smile

@LatinForTelly

Has this worked?

Latin a girl after my own heart! Is that Tanqueray too?

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 Smile

Morning all, apologies for the slight delay in choosing the winner since the competition closed - it has been a blimmin' hard job as all the entries were so good! After much deliberation though we can reveal that the overall winner is...

Issyf1609's DD with her fabulous gladiator sandals

And the two runners-up (in no particular order) are:

Mrsarvy40's DD with her gymnastics squad (what scale!)
and
mgwynne's DD with her imaginative recreation of Animal

We'll be PMing you three to organise prize delivery. Thank you to everyone who entered for rising to the challenge so marvellously, and wishing you all a good rest of the summer holidays Flowers
