Welcome to Sunset Crafting. We believe in transparency, so this page explains how we fund our work and how our affiliate relationships may affect the content you see here.
What this means
Sunset Crafting participates in several affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates program and other trusted retail and craft-supply affiliate networks. This means that when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
How commissions are earned
- Affiliate links: Some product links on Sunset Crafting include special tracking codes. These links identify that you were referred from our site.
- Commission payment: If you complete a purchase after clicking an affiliate link, the retailer may pay us a small commission or referral fee. The commission rate and payment are determined by the retailer and the affiliate program.
- No extra cost: Commissions do not increase the price you pay. Your purchase price remains the same whether you use our link or visit the merchant directly.
Our editorial integrity
We are committed to honest, useful content. Our product recommendations, tutorials, and reviews reflect hands‑on testing, research, and editorial judgment. Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. If we recommend a product, it’s because we believe it will help our readers, not because it earns a commission.
How we choose products
- Practical testing: We try to test craft tools and materials when feasible to provide real-world feedback.
- Research: We consult multiple sources, manufacturer details, and user reviews to form balanced opinions.
- Reader needs: We prioritize products that match the skill level, budget, and goals of the Sunset Crafting community.
Why we use affiliate links
Running a quality crafting website requires time and resources. Affiliate income helps cover site hosting, photography, materials for demos, and editorial work so we can keep publishing free, high-quality guides and patterns.
Compliance and transparency
We follow applicable laws and guidelines regarding affiliate disclosures, including guidance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). When a post contains affiliate links, we attempt to disclose that within the article or near the links themselves.
Final note: Your trust matters. If you ever have questions about a specific recommendation or the nature of a link, please look for the disclosure in that article or refer to the information on this page. We strive to be open about how Sunset Crafting is supported while continuing to deliver honest advice and creative inspiration.
