Creative Live set up a free series; one month of creative challenges called #28tomake. Each week they had a different teacher setting exercises and you get one short fun exercise a day. The idea was to encourage people to get more creative and by setting small challenges daily, by the end of the 28 days it would have become a daily habit that you could continue. You got an email everyday with a link to the video describing your brief for the day and you shared your wok on social media with #28tomake. Check out everyones work here….

28 to make

I had so much fun with this. I still have a few more exercises to complete but got most of them done. It was free to sign up and if you like – you can access all the video tutorials here and follow along. Let me know in the comments if you took part too and how you got on :)

Here is what I did (scroll over and press play on the ones where you see my hand! ):
