General information
Everything on this website is published for general information and enjoyment. It is not professional advice. We share projects we believe are worth making, written as clearly as we can, but you are the person best placed to judge whether a project suits your household, your materials and the people making it with you.
Results will vary
Craft materials, brands, tools, drying times, weather, work surfaces and skill levels all differ. Two people can follow the same instructions and get two different results. Photographs on this site show how a project turned out for us, not a promise of how it will turn out for you.
Safety
Depending on the project, you may be working with:
- scissors and craft knives
- hot glue and other adhesives
- heat, ovens or candles
- small parts that can be swallowed
- paints, sealants, dyes and varnishes
- borax and other craft chemicals
- glass, wire and hand tools
- materials gathered outdoors, including plants, seeds and berries
You are responsible for reading and following the safety information supplied by the manufacturer of every product you use, for working in a suitable space, and for deciding whether a project is appropriate for you and for anyone helping you. DIY Craft Magic accepts no liability for injury, damage or loss arising from any project on this site.
Children
Many of our projects are written for families to make together, and we say so when a project is designed with children in mind. That is not the same as saying every project suits every child. Ages, abilities and attention spans differ enormously. Please look at each project yourself, adapt it as needed, and supervise children whenever it is appropriate to do so.
Allergies and sensitivities
Paints, glues, sealants, essential oils, dried botanicals, foods used as craft materials and outdoor finds can all cause allergic or irritant reactions in some people. Check labels and material information before you start, and stop if anyone reacts to something.
External links
We sometimes link to other websites for supplies, techniques or further reading. Those sites are not under our control. We are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, their products or their privacy practices.
Advertising and affiliate links
At the time of writing, DIY Craft Magic does not display advertising and does not use affiliate links. If that changes, this page and our affiliate disclosure will be updated, and the relevant posts will carry a clear disclosure.
