If you’re a photographer, illustrator, or designer who just found your work on DIY Craft Bloom, welcome. This page is for you. It explains where the images on this site come from, how credit and sourcing work, and exactly what to do if something needs your attention.

Our Stance on Images

DIY Craft Bloom is a visual site by nature. Craft tutorials, room makeovers, and decor projects live and die by their photos, so images matter here as much as the words do. Every image published on this site is believed in good faith to comply with the fair use doctrine, to be in the public domain, or to be properly licensed for use. There is no intention anywhere on this site to infringe on anyone’s copyright or intellectual property, ever.

Respect for Creators

Behind every photo is a person who set up a shot, edited it, and decided to share it with the world, whether that’s a professional photographer, a hobbyist illustrator, a small brand, or another crafter documenting their own project. DIY Craft Bloom takes that seriously. The goal has always been to use images responsibly and to make things right quickly if something falls short of that standard.

Where Our Images Come From

Craft and decor content depends on a mix of sources, and DIY Craft Bloom tries to be upfront about all of them.

Original Photography. Most of the step-by-step and finished-project photos on this site are shot in-house, either by the site owner or by contributors working directly on DIY Craft Bloom projects. These images are owned outright by the site.

Public Domain Images. For historical decor references, vintage craft techniques, or older design inspiration, DIY Craft Bloom sometimes pulls from public domain archives like Wikimedia Commons, the Library of Congress, and Smithsonian Open Access. These are images that are no longer under copyright or were released freely by their creators.

Creative Commons Images. Some supporting images come from platforms offering Creative Commons licenses, including Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, and Flickr Commons. Where a license requires attribution, such as CC BY or CC BY-SA, DIY Craft Bloom honors those terms in full.

Paid Stock Photography. For polished lifestyle shots and decor styling images that go beyond what an in-house photo can capture, DIY Craft Bloom licenses images from commercial libraries such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Canva Pro, used according to each platform’s licensing terms.

Brand, Editorial, and Press Images. When a post reviews a specific product, tool, or brand, an image of that item may appear for editorial or commentary purposes. This kind of use is considered fair use under copyright law, and attribution to the original brand or photographer is provided where required.

Reader and Collaborator Submissions. Occasionally, a reader or collaborator shares a photo of their own finished project with permission to feature it on DIY Craft Bloom. These images are used with that person’s consent and are usually credited by name or handle.

Attribution Practices

Where attribution is required, whether that’s a Creative Commons BY license, an editorial mention of a brand, or a reader submission, DIY Craft Bloom provides credit to the original creator and links back to the source whenever possible. If an attribution is missing a detail or points to the wrong place, letting DIY Craft Bloom know leads to a quick correction.

When Attribution Might Be Incomplete

DIY Craft Bloom has published a lot of content over time, and across that many posts and pins, it’s possible that an image occasionally appears without full or correct attribution. This can happen because of a broken source link, an image that had already circulated widely before it reached this site, or a simple oversight. None of it is intentional, and any case like this gets corrected as soon as it’s brought to DIY Craft Bloom’s attention.

No Need for Formal Legal Steps

If you’re a rights holder, you do not need to send a formal legal notice or hire an attorney before reaching out. A straightforward email explaining the situation is all it takes. DIY Craft Bloom would much rather resolve this directly and quickly than have anyone go through unnecessary legal steps first.

How Fast DIY Craft Bloom Responds

Requests from rights holders are treated as a priority. DIY Craft Bloom aims to respond within 48 hours of receiving a message, and straightforward removal requests are often handled the same business day.

What to Do If You Find Your Work Here

If you come across your image on DIY Craft Bloom and want something changed, there are three simple options:

1. Request credit or attribution. If your image just needs a name, a link, or a correction added, DIY Craft Bloom will update it promptly.
2. Request a modification. If you’d rather the image be cropped, resized, watermarked, or linked differently, let DIY Craft Bloom know what you’d prefer.
3. Request removal. If you want the image taken down entirely, DIY Craft Bloom will remove it without argument.

What to Include in Your Message

A few details help DIY Craft Bloom sort out a request fast:

• A link to the exact page where the image appears
• A link to the original source, or some proof of ownership like a portfolio or website
• Your name and how you’d prefer to be reached
• Which of the three options above you’d like (credit, modify, or remove)

What Happens Next

Once a request comes in, DIY Craft Bloom confirms it was received, takes a reasonable look at the details provided, and makes the requested change, whether that’s adding credit, adjusting the image, or removing it altogether. A follow-up message confirms once it’s done, so there’s no wondering whether it was handled.
