OTSS Maker Circle A monthly extension of our Maker Challenge If you’ve ever taken part in one of our Maker Challenges, you’ll recognise the heart of this. The challenge that worked best wasn’t about themes, perfection or pressure.It was the simple one. Make something.Post it. The OTSS Maker Circle is an extension of that idea, slowed down and made sustainable for small business makers. Not a rush.Not a course.Not about doing more. Just a monthly rhythm that gives you a reason to create, use your blanks and share what you’ve made. What you receive each month As part of the OTSS Maker Circle, you’ll receive: • A curated OTSS craft set at a heavily subsidised maker rate, including project ideas and prompts• Month's prompts in the group that share ideas and variations Each box is designed to help you finish something, not just collect supplies. The making and sharing rhythm This is not about being an influencer or creating perfect content. The focus is making. Each month we gently encourage you to: • Complete the two guided projects• Share one video featuring at least one project• Share one photo per project• Tag Only The Sweet Stuff when you post Monthly prizes are drawn from makers who participate and share during the month. The content is a by-product of the making, just like our Maker Challenge.

How to Craft with Us The OTSS Maker Circle is designed to help you turn your monthly craft set into finished projects you'll be proud to use, gift or sell. Depending on the project, you may personalise acrylic blanks with UVDTF, create apparel with DTF transfers (150–160°C for 10–15 seconds), or apply HTV to fabric (150–165°C for 10–15 seconds, following your vinyl manufacturer's recommendations). Each box includes ideas and prompts to help you build confidence while trying new techniques.Use your monthly projects to create personalised gifts, market products, drinkware, keyrings, home décor and more. If using UVDTF, clean your blank before applying for the best results, and always follow the recommended times and temperatures supplied with your blanks for sublimation projects.Most importantly, Maker Circle is about creating consistently, learning new skills, and sharing your finished projects with our amazing crafting community. Every month is another chance to create something you'll love.
