Chuk, Suhani, and Lily have their work cut out for them with a sticky Quick Craft inspired by guest judge Karina Garcia, the “Slime Queen.” Using Karina’s favorite gooey ingredient, our crafters whip up fake food that looks good enough to eat. The two top chefs then tackle a daunting challenge: create life-size doll boxes that tell a story about who they are.

Aria, Max, and Clara think outside the box to create handmade plants and flowers before the two remaining crafters tackle an upcycling Craft Master Challenge that finds them transforming trashcans full of waste materials into something magical. Guest judge Anjelika Temple has some tough decisions in store.

Weber, Brooklyn, and Ceres plunge into two school-inspired challenges: first, they transform lockers into creative masterpieces, and next, the top Craftestants turn ordinary backpacks into something super special. Guest judge Jodi Levine helps determine which crafter will take home the Craftrophia.

Spunky 12-year-olds Ava, Cooper, and Sasha must turn paper lanterns into unique, whimsical works of art before the two most lit creators advance to an ambitious Craft Master Challenge: elevate the classic lemonade stand concept into an innovative small business idea. Pinterest goddess Joy Cho helps our judges decide whose stand and product sample are truly Craftrophia-worthy.

Tida, Brodie, and Iris face-off in a couple of super sweet challenges. First up, we have a confection Quick Craft inspired by what guest judge Rosanna Pansino does best: baking! After incorporating bakery goods into edible masterpieces, two Craftestants channel their talents into adorable plushie-making.

Californians Khloe, JoJo, and Ethan channel their inner fashion designers to jump on eye-catching custom sneakers and, with some guidance from guest judge, renowned stylist Anthony Elle, create a wearable, high fashion craft.

We hope Nicola, Zion, and Monroe like animals, because that’s what their challenges are all about. First, they create busts of their favorite beasts. Next, the two fiercest Craftestants build custom sleep areas for pets. Extra special guest judge JP Connelly, the production designer behind Craftopia, weighs in, and Lauren’s dog Moose keeps our crafters company.

Jonah, Annabelle, and Natalie meet their host, crafting superstar LaurDIY, before dreaming up party concepts and creating themed invitations to match. Whimsical street artist and crochet master London Kaye helps judges Toya and James decide who will move on to design Craftrophia-worthy 3D wall hangings.
