Biography
Muhaimina Faiz holds BSS and MSS degrees in Anthropology from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet. She has been creating and teaching crafts professionally since 2012, beginning on Instructables where she published 150+ projects and built an international reputation through contest wins and consistent experimentation.
She later founded Craftaholic Witch, where she has published 258 original tutorials across origami, paper crafts, jewelry making, paper flowers, plushies, crochet, kids crafts, and home decor. Every project on the site is designed, made, photographed, and tested by Muhaimina personally.

This recognition sits alongside 50+ craft competition wins, including repeated success in jewelry, paper craft, weaving, and soft toy contests on Instructables.
It started with a
paper flower.
In 2012, during a hard season of life, Muhaimina decided to stay home, slow down, and learn something new. A search for a paper flower pattern led to Instructables, then to creating, posting, competing, and steadily building confidence through making.
50+ international competition wins and years of publishing later, Craftaholic Witch became the place where that learning was translated into tutorials for other makers. The focus evolved from sharing ideas to helping people finish beautiful work with less friction.
Discovered Instructables, began sharing original DIY projects, and started entering international contests.
Launched Craftaholic Witch as a home for craft education built around finished projects, not endless searching.
Joined the Aralas Creative family alongside Baking Venture and Pattern Heaven.
Expanded the ecosystem with Craftaholic Community, bringing tutorials, templates, and makers together in one place.
Years of making turned into a practical craft teaching system.
The philosophy behind every tutorial is simple: people do not need more inspiration, they need less friction. Clear materials, honest advice, tested steps, and templates when they genuinely help are what turn a saved idea into a finished project.
That approach shows up across the full catalog, from origami and paper flowers to jewelry making, plushies, kids crafts, and home decor. The goal is not just pretty outcomes, but repeatable confidence for the maker following along.
Where to
follow the making
The tutorials live here on Craftaholic Witch. Project photography, slow-living updates, and behind-the-scenes moments live across her creator profiles and social channels.
Everything here is
handmade.
The tutorials are original. The photos are original. The testing, the adjustments, and the occasional early mistakes are all part of the same hands-on process.
