Hello DIYHub: Level Up Your Creativity! ๐ฎ
This time, we launch a new 2-month challenge with the focus on pure gaming creativity. This edition is all about the games we build, repair, customize, and bring to life with our own hands. It doesn't matter if you craft a board game, restore retro hardware, or if you rebuild a game you played in the past, let's fill our DIY community with the:
Review of the Previous Contest
Our first two-month contest wrapped up with great results! Running from November through January with no specific theme, you brought us everything from upcycled pet furniture to handcrafted Christmas decorations, woodworking projects to textile creations. The extended timeline gave everyone more room to develop ambitious projects or finish multiple projects without time pressure and additionally, the prize pool is bigger :D
Thank you for your dedication and the passion you put into every build! Big thanks to everyone who joined this time:
@chacald.dcymt @elentogether @lauracraft @marlynmont @mdakash62 @rodriguezkike232 @lanoican @samuell12 @ridgette @stefany0720 @divergente1 @annafenix
Your work continues to inspire and uplift us all ๐
Here are the champions from our last round:
๐ฅPrize: @lauracraft with DIY 2025 / Mini picture with dried flowers
๐ฅPrize: @lanoican with A Light for Hope / Una Luz Para La Esperanza
๐ฅPrize: @annafenix with A LITTLE HOUSE FOR MY CATS
Congratulations ๐ Prizes will be sent soon - thank you for your patience!
A note about our new format: We've decided to keep our contests running every two months for now. This gives you more time to perfect your projects, allows us to offer bigger prize pools than last year and to counter-act the lack of engagement we all experience lately because of the crypto world. Quality over quantity - we can't wait to see what you'll create with the extra time!
This Month: ๐ฎ๐น๏ธ DIY Gaming Edition ๐จ
Let's create projects that celebrate gaming through our own hands. Build board games from scratch, decorate your gaming console, craft gaming accessories, or create full-blown tabletop experiences. Your hands, your rules, your game!
Why We Do This?
Because gaming brings people together from young to old and sparks creativity that can last a full lifetime. Through handmade projects we can build the games we always wanted to play, honor the classics we love, and customize our gaming experience. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned crafter or first-time creator: Let's craft, play, and innovate.
๐ธ What Can You Create?
Possibilities are endless, whether you work with wood, electronics, cardboard, or fabric. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
- Design and build a board/card game
- Stitch your favourite game character on a sweater
- Craft game organizers, dice towers, or card holders
- Repair or restore gaming electronics
- Create custom controllers or controller mods
- Design gaming-themed furniture, shelves, or display cases
- Make cosplay props or armor from your favorite games
- Create decoration based on your favourite games
- Level up your gaming room with a new light setups
- ...
๐ฟ Be Eco-Friendly โป๏ธ
As always, we encourage the use of natural or recycled materials whenever possible. Old controllers, cardboard boxes, broken electronics, scrap wood, fabric scraps, or unused craft supplies can all become something amazing. Let's keep our gaming sustainable and creative ๐
Thank you for making gaming greener and more hands-on!

It's an interesting idea; I really want to see what ideas are presented this month on that topic.
Hello friend, I hope to see you soon with your great ideas in this new contest.๐
Thanks for the comment @lauracraft, I have a couple of ideas that could be useful, I hope you like them.
I just have to take a little time off from shop work, I'm getting a lot of repair work coming to the shop, it's been a very good few months starting the year, but I'm not having much free time.
We canโt wait to see them friend, goodluck๐
