Frequently asked questions

No. We're an independent guide. When you click "Shop now," you're taken to a retailer's website, and your order, shipping and returns are handled by that retailer.

Our shop links go through /go/ redirects and are marked sponsored. Some may be affiliate links, so we may earn a commission if you buy something, at no extra cost to you.

Prices change constantly and we haven't hands-on tested every product. Rather than publish numbers that go stale, we explain what to look for so you can compare listings yourself.

The A2 card, 4.25 x 5.5 inches folded, cut from half a sheet of 8.5 x 11 cardstock. It fits an A2 envelope. See paper crafts.

A smooth, light-colored #4 worsted weight yarn with a US 8 (5 mm) needle or an H-8 (5 mm) hook. See knitting & crochet.

We don't pick a winner. Compare the cut width, supported materials, software and any subscription against the projects you want to make. See Cricut & vinyl.

Epoxy for coasters, trays and larger pieces; UV resin for small, thin jewelry pieces. See resin art.

Look for age grading on the package and "Conforms to ASTM D-4236" on art materials, keep small parts away from children under 3, and supervise hot glue, wax and sharp tools. See kids' crafts.

Usually, but check the rules. Soaps making skin claims can fall under FDA cosmetic rules, precious-metal jewelry descriptions are covered by FTC guides, and designs and fonts used with cutting machines have licenses. Check official guidance for your product and state.

For paper, fabric or leaf crafts, we recommend LED tea lights only.
