Welcome to the Everyday Holidays Craftalong for Summer 2024!
Runs July 1st through September 30th,2024
Everyday Holidays are a way to add some joy to our lives and learn something new every day. Please note that there are also observations and commemorations in the mix, because all emotions are valid.
What is this craftalong?
The âEveryday Holidaysâ craftalong is a way to find inspiration for your crafting. You can use the topics as prompts for your artsy explorations, or simply to learn something new. You can use any topic for any craft during the entirety of the seasonâthe craft does not have to be done on the same day as the holiday that was used for inspiration. As long as itâs within the season, itâs fine.
The âRulesâ
âRulesâ is in quotation marks because this is meant to be a laid-back, no pressure, just post when and how you feel like it kind of craftalong.
Having said that, as with every other craftalong, all community guidelines apply.
Important note: You donât need to do something on the actual day of the holiday. As long as the holiday and craft happen during the season posted, itâs valid 
. So for example, I could make something inspired by a January 1st holiday on February 4th, and it would still be fine, because both dates are within the winter season.
You are allowed and encouraged to post the same projects here that you have posted elsewhere on the site, whether as their own posts or for other craftalongs.
Also, youâre encouraged to post about celebrating the holidays even if you didnât make anything (e.g. itâs OK to share that youâve watched a movie for a certain day).
The Points
Weâre keeping things simple for this craftalong. You get:
1 point for every project you post.
How do I participate?
To participate, simply make a craft inspired by any of the Everyday Holidays listed for the season, and post it using the template below.
Holiday Inspiration: [write the name of the holiday that inspired your craft ]
Project Name: [Title your project any way you would like ]

Important, about posting and holiday dates:
You can make any craft inspired by any holiday on any day during the seasonâyour projects do not have to be made nor posted on the exact day of the holiday. As long as the holiday is within the season, it counts.
The whole concept of âEveryday Holidaysâ can get overwhelming, because there are so many of them. So donât feel like you have to do something every day. Instead, use the prompts that speak to you and go from there.
