📣 Calling all budding designers and creatives b

📣 Calling all budding designers and creatives between ages 13-18! 📣

We were so impressed by the participants in our Springing into Summer Headpiece Challenge, we’ve decided to run another mini competition, this time with TWO PARTS!

Introducing our: Summer Spruce Up Challenge! 😉

First, we want to see accessories! Create an accessory exclusively from junk; think jewelry, headpieces, face masks and more! 💎 👒 👜

When you’ve finished this, snap a picture and DM it to us on Instagram. 📸

Remember to include your name, age, school and #myjunkiskouture.

For the second part of the challenge, we want to see your process.

Make a quirky, fun, and informative TikTok, showing the steps you took to create your masterpiece! Please use #junkkouture and #myjunkiskouture in the caption to be considered.

Remember, you do not have to enter both parts of the challenge.

Take a look at the waste around you – consider it the couture of tomorrow! 💭 👀

What are you waiting for? You have until 21st May! Get creating!
