crftgrrlcollective presents: the unhinged margins-a blog

aka tutorials

Paper art, horror movies, & thrift stores built me. Mostly paper art.

I feel more complete in an analog world, which is probably why I still believe in paper templates, hands-on tutorials, and making things from scratch. I don’t believe in gatekeeping creativity, so I share free tutorials and templates here on the blog. As a child of the ‘80s, I was raised to believe that sharing is caring and that making things keeps the sad away.

This space can be expected to stay free, and I’ll post here as I go. You’ll mostly find me on TikTok and, begrudgingly, the other social media platforms too. Mostly for exposure, not loyalty.

I make everything from Baphomet piñatas and creepy paper crafts to flowery envelope mini albums, handmade journals, collage work, and other cut-and-paste projects.. Some projects lean soft and nostalgic, others look like they crawled out of a punk basement show in 1995.

This blog is a collection of projects, experiments, messes, ideas, and things worth cutting up and gluing back together. If it inspires you to make something of your own, then it served its purpose; couldn’t be more punk rock than that.
