Voted by you the public as winner in the smarten your snapper competition is wave by Yana from Chromatophobic.
Yana wins a snapper loaded with $100 and a free full table at Craft2.0 on October 24th
One of the great things about this cover is it’s see through nature, especially useful with both red and green snapper cards out in the wild.

Yana designed the cover and then using the Laser cutter at ponoko she whipped this nifty cover up using 0.3mm polypropylene
and you thought polypropylene was just warm clothes ;)
If you like Yana’s style you can check out her creations over on ponoko
Yana will of course be at Craft2.0 on October 24th at TheNewDowse in addition to her her Grimlies series of Styx’s, Eriks, Ziks, Snoorks, Rubiks – the Retarded Ravens and Pikelets – the Crazy Piggies. She’ll be show casing some new designs, but what, you’ll have to turn up to find out.
Voting was extremly close so we awarded a prize to the runner up
Amy from Bad Animals and her Pirate Patch
Amy will receive a free half table at Craft2.0 on OCtober 24th



Amy wanted to create a cover that offers convenience and accessibility. Something you can pin on the sleeve of your jacket, your bag – wherever you want – so you don’t have to go digging around in your handbag or pocket to tag on and off. With an extra bonus of looking a bit badass too!
We just loved the flexibility this cover offers as you can just have it anywhere on your person or bag.
and our voter prize goes to Jem Yoshioka
Jem is a Wellington based graphic artist
and you can find out more about her and her creations over at her website http://jemshed.com
Jem gets $50 in Craft Cash to spend at Craft2.0 on OCtober 24th
thanks to everyone who crafted and voted
this was a fun competition to run and hopefully everyone is now a little inspired to smarten their snapper, or get in contact with a crafter for a custom cover.
and stay tuned you never know when Snapper and Craft2.0 might dream up something else for you to dive into

Well everyone often says isn’t nice to receive a birthday present late
after all the partying and fun, it’s a lovely surprise
OK that might be totally untrue,
but I’m using it as a good excuse for this delayed snapper project
which is a happy birthday snapper cupcake, becuase snapper just turned one 20 days ago
so this is a happy 385 days old birthday present for everyone at team snapper
If you want a snapper cupcake in your life it’s a pretty easy project, but it does involve sewing,
I used a sewing machine but this can all be done sewing by hand.
First head over to craftster and check out the cupcake party pattern and instructions created by the very amazing Fantastic toys
then follow the pattern with a couple of exceptions
- tie a snapper usb stick to a key/card reel
- leave a gap at the top of your cupcake for your snapper usb to pop through
- hide the reel inside the cupcake




and you have a cupcake that is also a snapper usb holder
and fyi – a snapper usb looks much smarter than the usb in this picture
now becuase I am 20 days late with my present it seemed only fair to allow everyone who is running late with their snapper entry a bit of extra time.
so the deadline for getting your smarten your snapper entry emailed through is now midday Monday August 31st.
so keep on crafting and email those images of your snapper card or usb cover through to photos@craft2.org
