Making these work in diy & crafts

Keep hands and material in frame with an overhead angle as your default shot. In crafts the process is the star, and your face is optional.
Leave failures in the edit. Craft audiences have been burned by fake viral hacks, and showing attempt two after a failed attempt one is your credibility.
Capture clean audio close to your hands: peeling vinyl, scissors, sanding. Craft sound drives rewatches and works as a second hook for viewers scrolling with sound on.
Show a supply list with real prices at the start or end. Cost transparency is the difference between a project viewers save and one they scroll past.
