4. The poll will be created on 12/16/08 and will open for 15 days.
5. Each instruction should have at least 7 pictures.
6. We prefer that all the images are uploaded to forum Photo Gallery. If not, we will convert the page to pdf file and attach to the thread so we still have the copy of the instruction available if the images are removed from the image hosting server.
7. The instructions can be for hairbows, headbands, hair accessories, ribbon shirts, ribbon socks, tutu, bottle caps, poly clay, beads jewelry, sewing... projects.
8. By entering contest, you agree that hipgirlclips.com can copy and post your instructions to Hip Girl Boutique! Hair Bows, Hair Clips, Ribbon And More. Any request to remove or move the instructions will be declined.
9. Please do not include advertisement in your instructions (you may get less votes because of that). The ad should be in the signature.
10. The format of the instruction must be HTML which is a normal post with pictures (picture as attachment is OK). Here is an example:
How to resize image size in bulk - Hip Girl Boutique Free Hair Bow Instructions--Learn how to make hairbows and hair clips, FREE!
11. Please put "4th Instruction Contest" in the thread title so we won't miss your entry. For example: "How to make hairbows--4th instruction contest".
