✨ May Makers Madness: A No-Pressure Challenge for Real-Life Makers Who Are Kinda Tired, Honestly
Let’s be real:
Running a creative business or trying to stay inspired in the middle of algorithm drama, life chaos, and rogue glitter explosions?
It’s a lot.
You don’t need another challenge that tells you to batch 42 reels and revamp your brand voice by Tuesday.
You need space to breathe, connect, and maybe laugh at your own bead piles.
So this May, we’re doing something a little different:
May Makers Madness.
A month-long, community-first creative challenge that’s more about honesty than hustle.
🧵 What is May Makers Madness?
It’s a four-week series of light prompts, funny check-ins, and gentle encouragement to share what’s really going on in your creative life — not just the curated version.
It’s for when:
-
You’re feeling creatively stuck
-
You miss connecting with other makers
-
You want to post but don’t know what to say
-
Or you just need an excuse to talk about your weird obsession with jump rings ( or your desire to never use one again!)
🧩 How It Works
Each week has a new theme, like:
-
Maker Confessions (awkward truths and unpopular opinions, anyone?)
-
Tools & Tricks (tell us your ride-or-die pliers)
-
Color & Chaos (the messier the better)
-
Celebrate & Shout Out (because you deserve a slow clap too)
You’ll get 1–2 prompts a week inside our [Facebook group], plus random mini-challenges, community shoutouts, and tiny prizes ( and not so tiny!) that are way more fun than exposure.
You can:
✔ Comment
✔ Post
✔ React with a GIF of a raccoon knitting (optional but encouraged)
Every interaction earns points for weekly drawings + a grand prize that’s ✨ actually worth winning.
💡 Why We’re Doing This
Because the maker world can be inspiring and isolating.
Because you shouldn’t need a perfect flat lay to show up.
Because sometimes, you just need someone to say, “Hey — your chaos is welcome here.”
We believe:
-
Showing up imperfectly is still showing up.
-
Community matters.
-
Creativity isn’t just the end product — it’s the process (and the weird tangents along the way).
🧰 What You’ll Need
-
A Facebook account
-
3 brain cells (optional)
-
A love of handmade things, honesty, and other people who totally get it
