In this video I finally faced one of my biggest fears—grasshoppers. I’m not even kidding, just talking about them can still give me the creeps, but I wanted to push myself and do something creative with it instead of letting it win. So I shared the story behind why grasshoppers freak me out, plus a true fact I learned that I honestly never knew before (and it made the whole thing even more “eww” for me). Then I turned that fear into a craft by making a nasty little grasshopper using pipe cleaners. This is part of the “Face Your Fears” collaboration hosted by Ms. Apryl over at @DragonsinDressesCraftsortium, and I’m so glad I joined in because it’s a fun way to stretch yourself and still keep it crafty. If you like quirky DIYs, character-style makes, or you just want a laugh while I work through the heebie-jeebies, you’ll fit right in. I also share where you can find the full collab playlist so you can see what everyone else made—and trust me, there are some good ones.
