Where We Are

Our home base is in Germany, but our contributors are from all over the world. We are crafters, bloggers, and artists.

What We Do

We thoroughly test, poke, and prod your favorite craft supplies in order to provide honest, detailed reviews on them.

Why We Do It

Short version: Because you deserve great tools. For the longer explanation of why we decided to start a review site, please click here.

How We Do It

For our reviews, we focus on finding craft supplies that are useful, money-saving, durable, and multipurpose. We don’t like buying unnecessary products and we know that you don’t either.

What We Don't Do

We don’t do sponsored reviews. Some of our posts contain affiliate links because that helps us grow. But we don’t trade reviews for money or free stuff.

What We Want

We want to hear from you! Get in touch and tell us which crafty products you want reviewed and how we can better serve you. Click here to send us an email.
