burning my fingers to make a moth costume (design by Hannah Alexander Artwork!)

Hello! Here is how I made a moth costume for the Hannah Alexander meetup at Magfest this year. I had a blast, and I hope you like the video! Also RIP Joanns 😭 Fun fact: it took between 25-30 hrs to edit this video, I (mostly) timed it! 😭
