Community Guidelines

Welcome to Cottage Scraps

Cottage Scraps is a friendly place for people who love to create, learn, share, and encourage one another.

We want everyone to feel comfortable joining the conversation, whether you’re an experienced maker or just learning your first craft.

Be Kind

Treat other members with kindness and respect.

Different opinions, skill levels, styles, and approaches are welcome. Personal attacks, bullying, harassment, or threatening behavior are not.

Keep It Family Friendly

Please keep posts, comments, photos, and other shared content appropriate for a family-friendly crafting community.

No profanity, sexually explicit content, hateful content, or inappropriate images.

Share Your Own Work

We love seeing what you’re making!

When sharing someone else’s work, tutorial, photograph, pattern, or idea, please give proper credit and respect the creator’s copyright.

No Spam

Please don’t flood the community with advertisements, repeated promotional posts, or unrelated links.

Sharing your own handmade work is welcome when it contributes to the community rather than simply being an advertisement.

Protect Your Privacy

Please don’t post personal information such as:

  • Home addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Passwords
  • Financial information
  • Private information about another person

Remember that anything you share online should be considered carefully.

Keep Children Safe

Don’t post personal information, photographs, or identifying details about children without appropriate permission.

When Something Goes Wrong

If you see a post or comment that violates these guidelines, please use the Report option rather than starting an argument.

Our moderators will review reports and take appropriate action.

Have Fun!

Share your creativity, encourage other makers, ask questions, learn something new, and enjoy being part of the Cottage Scraps community
