Thank you to everyone who took part in Yakult’s Every Day Inspiration Challenge! I loved seeing and judging your entries, and I was bowled over by your clever and imaginative ideas.
Yakults Every Day Inspiration Challenge asked people to find inventive ways to reuse their iconic yoghurt drink bottles.
You spent four weeks crafting, painting and creating masterpieces. And we had a hard time judging them all!
Meet our winner
Colette Mellor created a charming mobile with Yakult bottles transformed into insects and spiders. She also added small bells inside the bottles, so it doubled up as a wind chime.
Colette has won the top prize of £500 of Hobbycraft vouchers.
Two runners-up
We also awarded two runners-up prizes of £250 of Hobbycraft vouchers each.
Lee Biddle created this beautiful Easter wreath with his daughter, using Yakult bottles to make rabbits.
Jemma Webster worked with her little boy on a raft of projects, including vases and fairy light holders.
Congratulations to our winners!
