When you're using crafting tools, it’s important to keep safety in mind. Here are some simple safety tips:

1. Wear the Right Gear:

   • Always put on safety goggles to protect your eyes. Over 30,000 people hurt their eyes while crafting each year!
   • Use gloves when you're working with sharp tools. Cuts make up 45% of all crafting injuries.

2. Take Care of Your Tools:

   • Check your tools regularly to make sure they are not worn out or broken. Keeping tools in good shape can lower accidents by 25%.
   • Keep your cutting tools sharp. This makes them easier to use and helps you avoid using too much force.

3. Keep Your Workspace Tidy:

   • Make sure your workspace is neat and organized. Having clutter around can increase your chances of getting hurt by 40%.
   • Always store your tools properly after you’re done using them.

4. Be Ready for Emergencies:

   • Keep a first-aid kit close by. Did you know that 70% of crafters report getting hurt at some point?

Staying safe while crafting is key to having fun and being creative!
