07.17.2008 Win Your Way into Bumbershoot
Right now at Bumbershoot, we have eight contests going on. Yeah, even I was surprised at that number when I just checked it. Of the eight contests, my level of involvement ranges from getting every individual entry in my personal email to notifying winners.
07.02.2008 ReadyMade's MacGyver Challenge: Radios
That old radio not singing a tune for you anymore? Don’t throw it out… look at it in a different way, and see the light! Get some help from this week’s ReadyMade MacGyver Challenge project.
06.24.2008 ReadyMade Art Project: LP Bowl
Let’s cook with your stacks of wax! Turn your old LPs into fruit and candy bowls with the help of these step-by-step instructions from ReadyMade.
06.18.2008 Ace the MacGyver Challenge, score big!
This month, Bumbershoot and ReadyMade are presenting a MacGyver Challenge exclusively here on bumbershoot.org. The item to repurpose? Old CD jewel cases! Refashion this old plastic into something useful or beautiful, and share the step-by-step instructions with us.
If we and ReadyMade find your design the most awesome of the bunch, we’ll reward you not only with a pair of Gold passes to Bumbershoot 2008, but a bicycle so you can arrive at the Festival in eco-style! Oh! And a year subscription to ReadyMade!
Get all the details here.
06.17.2008 ReadyMade's MacGyver Challenge: Altoid Tins
What DO you do with this curiously strong packaging once you’ve consumed all its minty fresh contents? How about grab-and-go mini speakers for your iPod? Check out the winning MacGyver Challenge project here. Now that’s some (not so) Heavy Metal the whole family can enjoy!
06.11.2008 ReadyMade's MacGyver Challenge: Speakers
Got some old stereo speakers lying around that do nothing but snap, crackle and pop? Don’t send them off to the landfill! Recycle them into something useful and unbeatably cool… like a pair of matching TV trays! Check out the winning project from ReadyMade’s MacGyver Challenge (free registration required). Then go watch Saturday morning cartoons and enjoy your Snap, Crackle & Pop in style.
