What is PopUpTober?

This fall Chibitronics is collaborating with Keith Allen (@5am_popup), during his annual #PopUpTober Instagram challenge! PopUpTober is a daily pop-up art challenge throughout the month of October.

We (@Chibitronics) are inviting everyone within our ecosystem of paper crafters and makers to join @5am_popup with an additional challenge—to add light to one or more of Keith’s pop-up prompts and share their #LightUpPopUp with us on Instagram!
