What? Lettuce Craft is 5?! It feels like just yesterday we were cutting our teeth on the new site, and now we’re full on running with scissors! Let’s get crafty and celebrate this milestone with an exciting new challenge!

:raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed: “High Five” Craft Challenge :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:

Theme: Create something inspired by the number 5!

Celebrate LC turning 5 by creating a craft project that incorporates the number 5 in some creative way.

Crafting Period: FIVE weeks! July 5 - August 9, 2025.

Examples for inspiration:

  • Use 5 colors, 5 materials, or 5 patterns
  • Make 5 of the same item (e.g., cards, ornaments, mini paintings).
  • Design something based on a “top 5” (favorite animals, books, elements, etc.)

We will also be hosting a High Five Challenge Zoom to celebrate this achievement together and give us all some crafting time for the challenge! We hope you can join us!

  1. thank you to all the folks who work tirelessly behind to keep this special community going.
  2. I was immediately excited to craft something special for this challenge. Then I realized the 3 year old UFO I have been avoiding (shame and guilt is powerful, people) is PERFECT for this challenge. In fact, the only thing left to do is add FIVE things! Thanks for the push. Somehow, this challenge swept the shame and guilt to the side. I wish LC could to that for all the things I avoid in life. :joy:

I have been giving this a good think, too. I realized that a project that’s coming up would fit the bill! But then I looked at my plans/list and saw that no, indeed it was a 6 project. Dang. Then I realized that the BIG project I’m working on right now (and for months) is a 5-er! We’ll see if I can get 'er done.
