CRAFT STICK INFORMATION:

What materials are your craft sticks made of?
Most of our products are made from birch wood. Some products that are specified on the product pages are made from bamboo or pine wood.

What is used to dye your colored sticks?
Crafty Sticks sticks are dyed with food safe, fruit/vegetable base dye. While it is a food coloring product, we do not recommend using colored sticks with food.

Will the color come off your colored sticks?
All of our coloring is done with a food safe coloring. This coloring will sometimes bleed when wet. Coating these sticks with a spray lacquer for your event can prevent this from happening.
