Editorial Standards

How we create and maintain trustworthy content for the craft and art community.

Our Mission

ArtTools is dedicated to helping makers, crafters, and artists find inspiration, learn new techniques, and discover the best supplies for their projects. Every piece of content we publish serves that mission.

Content Creation Process

  • Topic Research — We identify trending and evergreen topics by monitoring social media platforms (Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok) and analyzing search trends.
  • Expert Review — Our content is written or reviewed by experienced crafters and artists with hands-on knowledge of each subject.
  • Practical Testing — Whenever possible, techniques and projects are tested before publication to ensure instructions are accurate and achievable.
  • Peer Review — Each article is reviewed by at least one other team member before publication.

Fact-Checking & Accuracy

  • All product claims, prices, and availability are verified at the time of publication.
  • Technical instructions are tested for correctness.
  • Sources are cited for any factual claims outside general craft knowledge.
  • Articles include a "Last updated" date so readers know when content was reviewed.

Updates & Corrections

  • We regularly review and update older content to keep it accurate and relevant.
  • If an error is identified, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article.
  • Readers can report errors by contacting us at any time.
  • Seasonal and time-sensitive content is reviewed before each relevant period.
