Muhaimina Faiz
Craft Artist & EducatorI’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. What started with a grandmother and an uncle as my first teachers became 230+ tutorials, 50+ international contest wins, and a community of makers from all around the globe.
It started with a
paper flower.
In 2012, I was going through a tough stretch. I decided to stay home, slow down, and learn something new. While searching for a paper flower pattern, I found Instructables.
I started creating, posting, and connecting with other makers. I won more than 50 international contests in jewelry making, crochet, and paper crafts. The more I created, the more I wanted a place of my own to share it all.
Craftaholic Witch launched in 2016. Over time it became something more focused: a platform where crafters can actually finish what they start.
Muhaimina Faiz
Crafting runs in my family. My grandmother and my uncle on my mother’s side were my first teachers. The love for making things by hand has been part of my life since before I can remember.
I’m based in Bangladesh. Every tutorial on this site is made, photographed, and tested by me before it goes live. No AI. No outsourcing the actual making.
What 10 years of making
actually teaches you
Paper weight changes everything in origami. Most beginners use whatever is nearby, then wonder why their folds look soft. 80gsm copy paper works well for learning. For anything you want to display, 90 to 100gsm gives you crisp, clean edges that hold over time.
In jewelry making, wire gauge matters more than the design. I learned this the hard way across dozens of contest entries. 20 gauge is forgiving and workable for most beginners. Go thinner than 26 gauge and you’ll spend more time fighting the wire than making the piece.
The single biggest thing I’ve learned in ten years of teaching crafts: people don’t need more inspiration. They need someone to remove the friction between wanting to make something and actually making it. That’s what every tutorial on this site is built to do.

Where to
follow the work
The tutorials live here. Project photos and slow living content are on Instagram. Video walkthroughs are on YouTube. Craft boards are on Pinterest.
Everything here is
hand-made.
The tutorials are mine. The photos are mine. The mistakes in early projects are very much mine too.
This site does not use AI-generated content. Every craft you see has been made and tested in my workspace before it goes on the page. If it didn’t work for me, it doesn’t go up.
That’s the only standard I know how to hold.
