Why Is It Important to Work with Safe Materials?

The responsibility behind every creation

In handmade work, details matter — not only in the design but in the quality and safety of the materials used.
Many people choose handmade products because they believe they’re getting something clean, crafted with care.
And they’re absolutely right.

That’s why at Scrapbooky, safety isn’t a compromise — it’s a principle.

✅ 1. Protection for the Creator

As crafters, we work daily with adhesives, paints, inks, varnishes, fabrics, and papers.
Using toxic materials can lead to:

• skin irritation

• respiratory issues

• allergic reactions

• long-term health consequences

That’s why in our studio we use non-toxic glues and carefully inspect the quality and safety of every material we consider using.

 

🧒 2. Safety for the Customer

Our creations often end up in the hands of children, pregnant women, people with allergies, or even pets.
Just imagine:

• An album gifted at a baby shower

• A card touched by a toddler

• Fabric flowers used in home décor

The materials must be safe for everyone, free from strong odors, irritants, or toxic residue.

🌎 3. An Ethical and Eco-Friendly Choice

Safe materials are often better for the environment too:

• biodegradable or easy to recycle

• produced in controlled conditions

• free from microplastics and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Because the safety of our materials truly matters:

✨ We protect ourselves – as artists and makers, we spend hours in contact with paints, adhesives, textiles, and other materials. Non-toxic products help protect our skin, lungs, and long-term health.

👨👩👧👦 We care for our customers – many of our creations are gifted to children, loved ones, and people with sensitivities. Choosing safe materials shows respect and responsibility for their wellbeing.

🌱 We care for the planet – biodegradable, recyclable, and non-toxic materials are not only better for us, but better for the Earth.

💬 The truth is simple:

Beauty should never be toxic.
Not for you. Not for your client. Not for the planet.

At Scrapbooky, we believe in creating products that don’t just look good — they do good.
For your health.
For the environment.
And for the future.
