Our story
Three siblings from Chicago and a place to learn
Blitsy was founded in 2011 by three siblings from Chicago, Illinois, as a place where creative people could learn to make things online. That is still the idea behind every project we publish.
Since then Blitsy has grown into an arts and crafts site with crafters from over 100 countries. Today our projects are written and edited by four makers who each know their craft: Georgina for drawing and kids’ crafts, Aimee John for DIY, home decor and woodworking, Kim Werker for crochet and knitting, and Kristin Link for sewing.
You will find drawing tutorials, coloring pages and kids’ crafts next to crochet patterns, sewing projects, woodworking plans and DIY projects for your home and yard. Each project walks you through the steps so you can make it yourself.
“Blitsy is where creative people learn online.”

Editorial standards
How we make and update our projects
Here is how a project is made at Blitsy, and the principles behind everything we publish.
01
Choosing a project
We start with what readers want to make and with projects that fit the crafts we cover.
02
Matching the expert
Each project goes to the team member who covers that craft: drawing and kids’ crafts to Georgina, DIY to Aimee, crochet and knitting to Kim, sewing to Kristin.
03
Writing the steps
We list what you need and write the steps in order, with notes on the parts that are easy to get wrong.
04
Editing
Every project is read again for clear steps, accurate details and safety notes before it goes live.
05
Keeping it current
We revisit projects, fix broken links and correct reported errors.
Our principles
Written by real makers
Our projects come from Georgina, Aimee John, Kim Werker and Kristin Link. We never put a name on work that person did not do.
Safety notes for kids’ crafts
Projects for children should say when an adult needs to help with tools, heat or small parts. If one of ours is missing that note, tell us and we will add it.
Credit for other makers
When we feature a project made by someone else, we credit the maker and link to the original.
Independent choices
We choose what to publish on its merits. If an article ever includes sponsored content or affiliate links, we will say so clearly on that page.
Ads kept apart
Blitsy is supported by ads. Ads are kept separate from our projects and never decide what we write about.
Corrections welcome
If you spot an error, contact us or email [email protected]. We review every report and update the project when a correction is needed.
