Handmade & Local Goods rules

List goods you make or substantially create yourself. Assembling a kit or reselling a finished product someone else made isn't handmade. If you buy components — beads, hardware, blanks, yarn — and turn them into something new, that's fine; just be clear about it.

• The finished item is made or substantially made by you.
• You describe your materials accurately.
• When you use purchased components, you say so plainly.

Made-to-order work is welcome. If something takes two weeks or six, say so up front, and keep the customer posted if a timeline changes. An honest “this takes a while” beats a missed promise every time.

Don't use another company's logo, or characters and designs you don't have the right to use. Fan-inspired work that copies a trademarked character or brand isn't allowed, even if you made the item by hand.

Some handmade goods need a heads-up so customers can use them safely:

• Children's items — note small parts, age suitability, and materials.
• Candles — include burn instructions and any warnings.
• Soap, cosmetics, and body products — list ingredients and any skin cautions.
• Anything with a sharp edge, a flame, or a finish that isn't food-safe.

Approval doesn't certify that your products meet safety, labeling, or consumer-protection laws — that stays your responsibility. Sell what you're confident is safe and honestly described.
