Making It - Episode Guide

In the series premiere, hosts Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman welcome eight makers to the competition with a faster craft challenge that reveals each maker's secret beast and a master craft challenge that puts a contemporary twist on family heirlooms.

Everyone comes from somewhere, and each Maker's background shapes their unique crafting style! This is especially true on the second week of Making It, where the theme this week is homes! Amy and Nick kick off the episode by challenging the Makers to work small and create a hometown terrarium that represent in miniature what makes their hometowns so special. After giving Amy, Nick, and the judges a glimpse into their past, the Makers then must embrace their inner child in the Master Craft Challenge. They create an impressive child's play collection consisting of a fort and toy for the kids in their lives! At the end of the episode, Amy & Nick reluctantly say goodbye to the Maker who's execution didn't live up to the original vision, but not without plenty of laughs along the way.

Like anything you learn to master, it's important to be sure that it stays fun! And, because nothing is more fun than a good party, this week's theme is entertaining. First up, Nick and Amy ask the Makers to design spectacular snack stadiums that will be the real MVPs of the sports party! Most of the Makers have never worked with edible crafts before, so it's a real challenge. Overall, the Makers elevated approach to tackling the challenge from an aesthetic POV leaves Nick hungry for meats and cheeses. The Makers keep the party going with this week's Master Craft Challenge, where they use recycled materials to create essential items for a backyard bonanza. They must put together a themed party with seating for four and an outdoor activity. The Makers impress the judges with their spectacular themes and ingenious use of repurposed materials but sadly the party is over for one Maker whose creative bonanza fails to come together as a cohesive collection.

On week four of Making It, Amy, Nick and the Makers are celebrating the holidays.. all at once! The Maker's kick off the festivities with the scariest holiday of them all, Halloween. They'll have to get crafty in order to design inventive costumes for a last minute costume party using common household materials. The Makers lean hard into the puns for their concepts, with one in particular scaring the socks off of the competition with a frightening ensemble. Having impressed the judges with their spook-tacular costumes, the Makers are tasked with bringing holiday cheer to the whole neighborhood. For this week's Master Craft challenge, the Makers each pick their favorite holiday and create a festive display for their home's front door. The result is as fun as Christmas morning as all of the maker's holiday doors compete for curb appeal in one epic block party. In the end, the Makers put together displays that would make any neighbor jealous, though the holiday celebrations must be cut short for one of our Makers who's festive work lacked a bit of originality.

In a celebration of the great outdoors, the makers bring nature inside as they create light fixtures made from natural materials, then they take the indoors out by transforming ordinary backyard sheds into unique personal spaces.

The day the Makers have all been waiting for also happens to be the big day for one lucky couple! The final three makers must utilize their crafting expertise to transform one couple's wedding into an incredible, handcrafted experience, which Nick Offerman will personally officiate in the craft barn. The Makers must create a dream wedding backdrop for the bride and groom, as well as an heirloom quality handmade gift that could last for generations.

Ten new Makers join Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman in the craft barn to show off their making skills. For their first Faster Craft, they will make a physical representation of themselves as a food item. For the Master Craft, they'll recreate a favorite craft from their youth.

The Makers will craft projects for both inside and outside the home. First, in the Faster Craft, they will transform a plain, blank wall into an inspirational and artistic installation for the home. Then in the Master Craft, they'll turn a standard mailbox into something with eye-catching curb appeal.

For the first time, the Makers will pair up in the Faster Craft to create a coordinated couple's costume. In the Master Craft, they'll each show off their love for a furry friend as they make a house for a special animal in their lives.

The Makers celebrate the holidays with Nick and Amy. First, in the Faster Craft, they will make a wreath out of unconventional materials. In the Master Craft they will build an interactive lawn display, showcasing their favorite holiday.

And in the Master Craft, Amy and Nick take the makers to the office when they must decorate a boring cubicle and turn it into an inspirational workspace.

The Makers will create a piggy bank in the form of the very item they are saving for. Then in the Master Craft, they'll tap into their inner child to design a fun and unique bedroom any kid would enjoy.

Makers must transform an ordinary tool shed into a dream destination, a space representing their ideal vacation get-away. It's a good old-fashioned Shed Hack, "Staycation" style.

In the last Faster Craft of the season, the final 3 Makers must create a three-dimensional party invitation that celebrates a unique occasion for a loved one. Then for the Master Craft they'll have to design that exact party. The person who wins will be crowned Master Maker by Nick and Amy.

Nick and Amy get to know a new batch of Makers for the third season. First in the Faster Craft, the Makers must make a toy that represents their personality and who they are. Then in the Master Craft, they create a family portrait that shows off their birth or chosen family.

Nick and Amy embrace the theme of sharing as the Makers create a dozen unique cookies for a cookie swap, transforming various types one can buy at the grocery store. The sharing continues as the Makers create a lending library themed to something they would want to share with their own neighborhood.

Nick and Amy task the Makers with the Mega Craft, the biggest challenge ever. They will convert a regular closet into a completely new room, dedicated to a loved one.

Nick and Amy celebrate the holidays with the Makers. Everyone must create a handmade Halloween costume that incorporates an optical illusion. For the Master Craft, Makers decorate an ordinary fireplace mantel using their favorite holiday as inspiration.

In the Mega Craft, the Makers rejuvenate the curb appeal of a generic house by personalizing the front door and the front porch with unique handmade touches. It's a mad dash to finish as Nick and Amy reveal an added twist at the last minute.

When Nick and Amy clean out their tiny house, the Makers get to turn some of those trashy items into unique treasures for the Faster Craft. In the Master Craft, the Makers give new life to an old family heirloom when they upcycle it into something for their home.

With everyone spending so much time at home lately, Nick and Amy task the Makers with making another Mega Craft; an outdoor space that would be the perfect hangout for the entire family.

The season three Master Maker is crowned as Nick and Amy task everyone with a Making It staple - The Shed Hack, but this time, the Makers get to make a shed into their own personal "happy place."
