About Me

 

Hi! I’m Eddie Mazarura, a lifelong maker and educator with more than 20 years of experience working with amazing kids in elementary and middle school, including brilliant neurodivergent students who have inspired me along the way. This blog is where I share hands-on tutorials that blend creativity with practicality, covering everything from paper crafts to fabric arts, from scrumptious bakes to crafty woodwork, and everything in between. My classroom and my craft table often overlap—many of the ideas you’ll find here also inspire the fun, engaging activities I bring into my creative classes with students. Let’s make something wonderful together!
