Resin 3d printing bust's of y'all in Greek style 🗿
Hi I love your videos I cant wait to watch it when I'm out of school 😁
Hello!
I want to see your version of doing these better! :)
The first hack was done with dip resin (different than normal resin). It might be fun to do a video using that.
🤯🤯 OMG. When the real life hacks are in the comments
@Masha Shubin, Do you know of a brand name for dip resin? This is the first time that I have heard of that type of resin.
Edit: corrected Masha's name.
Sophie and Toffee has an assortment of dip resin
i think you would be able to use clear uv gel too, the type for gel nails. its very thick so it should work
Also, don't pull straight up like a spoon. Have to pull at an angle.
As a wire wrap jewelry artist, I love seeing people try to work with wire. It's deceptive because it looks easy, but its hard to do well.
I tried to do just a basic 3 foot stabilizer to replace one of my stove's igniter feet to keep it from slipping, NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN.
Prepandemic I was doing courses to teach ages 4 + wire wrapping, lots of kids and parents and even older people trying it out and they all bought one of my pieces at the end with a new found appreciation for how insanely hard wire wrapping is XD Kids did better than most of the parents xD
Normally watching this channel I feel like my craft talent is so bad haha, but it really made me feel better watching them work with wire.
Honestly same. I got into wire art with a mindset that it would be easy when in reality, it’s a challenge, but it’s quite enjoyable.
I've recently repaired (in a way) my roommate's pair of glasses using wire (kanthal, 24 gauge) and some builder gel for nails.
I have to say in a way because of how I applied the wire and builder gel the glasses are NEVER going to fold shut ever again. The pair of glasses broke at the hinges of the bows and I layed down a layer of base coat around the bows (did one side at a time) and cured it. I then layed a thin layer of the builder gel and placed the wire on the wet gel and then cured that. I repeated this step for each of three of the four sides of each bow. I then layed down a layer encompassing all four sides of each bow and cured that. These steps were then repeated for the second bow. So, now the glasses are again functional as a pair of glasses but they can't fold at the bows anymore..... but at least they are functional again.....
The weird lavender ring holder thing was absolutely made with the clear soap jelly stuff. If you watch when they grab it from the jar it squishes under their grip
either jelly soap, or it wasn't cured at all lmao
@@Egg-tu9cc it wasnt cured at all lmfaoo
That’s possible, 5minlies are capable of anything.
I love how Kate is struggling to bend the spoon and then Evan just flawlessly bends it.
it was a joke. it cuts right in the middle. they probs used pliers.
@@red_elbows what are you talking about about? There were no cuts while he was bending it, though there was one right before he bent it to zoom in
I feel like I remember this being some "magic trick" I read about as a kid? For some reason? But it required rubbing the spoon handle where you were going to bed it in order ot get it warm enough to bend.
I feel like the spoon might be good to hold a book open, like a cookbook you need to sit open on a specific page. Prettier than the silicone "bones" we had in my high school 😂
This is what I came here to say. Not a bookmark for a closed book, but for keeping one open.
Glad im not insane for guessing book mark
I thought so too! Great for hands-free reading, like when lying on my stomach 😁
And thus the reason it's on a spoon. Because it's for the kitchen!
@@jedijenru same!
For the third hack they are not using parchment paper, they are probably using Freezer Paper or Wax paper both of which have one side that is really smooth.
Right?! I was thinking that! There's even waxed parchment paper (I use it for backing macarons)!
Silicone paper might be an option
Came looking for this comment 👍
the thing is, they don't specify, which makes the "hack" video completely useless.
@@jlammetje No, in this case, *the thing* being discussed is not whether the hack video was useful or not (it's obviously not, and no one is saying it is). The above posters were having a discussion about the details that were left out, since the basic principle of the hack was shown to be fairly workable.
Maybe the spoon is meant more as a page holder than as a bookmark. Like, for example, you are following a recipe in a cookbook and you need the book to remain open to a particular page. Just an idea.
I bought a flower comb kit from Sophie & Toffee. It was super simple to execute with the pot of "wire dip resin". It's made just for projects like these. I had zero clue this type of resin existed until I saw a review of the subscription on NerdeCrafters channel.
Katelyn: "I would have been done now if you hadn't buried all my gold."
So you're saying that Evan is a Pirate!
arrrrr! 🦜🏴☠
Joob is the parrot
@@WhoStoleMyWillToLive re parrot: the QR code checks out!
@@WhoStoleMyWillToLive Pieces of ham! Pieces of ham!
@@WhoStoleMyWillToLive for some reason google desided that your comment is not in english and has gave a "translate to english" under... this is holarious
"I also celebrate you and all of your chaos and your occasional impatience, which balances out my crippling perfectionism!"
Gosh this is healthy relationship 101. Also Katelyn I feel you, crippling perfectionism is no joke. 😔
Sometimes my mantra has to be "good enough, good enough; step away it's good enough"
When did she say that?
@@luigipowdemo6458 ah yes, sorry- it was at 11:11 I think
Honestly if I knew I could have a relationship like theirs I'd be much more inclined to want one :)
Katelyn being offended at this terrible spoon thing being a bookmark is so funny, I’d be the exact way.
Got recommended this video and decided to watch it, and I just got to say, that these two's energy is incredible
I watched the whole thing because they were so fun to watch
I've made flower crowns out of the first life hack before, but with nail polish, back in the tumblr flower crown days. They looked pretty nice with the "stems" wrapped in green floral tape!
Can you make 3d petals or only 2d ones?
@@schoo9256 I always bent the petals a little to give them more of a curve, so yeah, it can be a little 3d! It can be a bit harder to get the nail polish bubble to not pop, but it looked cute when you got it to work!
@@Kayizcray thanks!
I remember having a kit for Hobby Lobby for this....it never worked out T_T
Same! I remember making a little bouquet of flowers that way when I was younger
Ohhh would love to see a real attempt at the ring holders! Galaxy, glitter, glow in the dark, leds like the dice or a floating figure like the key caps! Ugh the possibilities!!
and an actual attempt at a cool phone case for katelyn, like her own design and method of making the case
YESSSSS
Oooo those leds used with the dice tray would be awesome!
I'd love to see you guys attempt resin deco crafts. I've mainly seen Korean resin crafters do them, but they make things like magical girl compacts, mini merry-go-rounds, super ornate decked-out notebook covers, and so much more! I'd recommend Nelco Neco for the hardest and most beautiful looking crafts I have ever seen!
katelyn you're killing it with the editing lately omg
I've had success doing the flower hack, but instead, the tutorial I followed used wood glue. It worked great!
What else did you use with the glue?
I've done that too! Dipping it in wood glue, and then painting it with nail polish once it dried. Seems a lot cheaper and easier than resin, although of course the curing time is longer.
You can also stick tape on one side and then put the resin on the other side and carefully peel the tape off after it's cured. That's what i always see people do
Why does 5 minute crafts still... do what they do...
Edit: Dang das a lot of comments XD
Money
Because your watching a video about their video... Aka interaction lol
They want cash lol
Because apparently it works so they won’t stop till it doesn’t work anymore :/
Because they get the klicks, be that because of people reacting and making fun of their content, and the ridiculous amount of money they can make with sponsors and advertising…. And apparently UA-cam hasn’t banned misinformation or content that is false/fake
One way to use the book mark is to use it at the top of the page, instead of the side, and have the pretty part stick "hanging" over the front cover, and having the handle on the page you are on
but I still pick my books up and carry them and dont always pay attantion if its completely upright XD
soo I need something that can't fall out
My worry is it ripping my books!!
When they asked what the spoon hack was for I was thinking of something else that may or may not involve a lighter lmao
you guys make my day, i’ve been feeling gross all day & watching this is already making me feel better. i love u guys :)
Hope you keep feeling better
@@EvanAndKatelyn I think if you guys had slowly pulled the leaves/petals out of the resin & had the pointy tips down like how it had been in the original video clip maybe they would have turned out better?**thinking emoji**
Being sick is the pits. Hope you feel better soon.
I actually have a bookmark spoon but they flatten the curve of the spoon and thinned it out a bit so it's not as thick. I love it! The handle is also thin with a beautiful design too.
The first one was a popular thing to do in the 70s. You would buy a kit and make flower designs with them. So many people did it
It’s funny because a lot of these are actual crafts that actual artists make and sell it’s like they went onto Etsy and made bad life hacks out of some of the art they found on there lol
I’d love to see the “inspired by” better versions of all of these!
I can't stress enough how much I absolutely heck'n love the two of you. Your personalities, how well you get along, how you can talk over each other and just seamlessly carry on, no stress. I LOVE you two! I've been addicted to watching every single one of your videos since I first discovered you a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for being such a big part of my life!!! xoxo
so glad you're liking the videos, thank you for the kind words!
Hack #2 - the spoon "Bookmark". Drill a hole in the handle end of the spoon. Tie a piece of string to it to a tree or anywhere outside. Get any old cup/mug and use the spoon as a hook to put the cup onto. Fill the cup with bird seed or fat cakes. Did this in the garden with some old spoons and mugs. The sparkly resin will look awesome in the sunlight outside :)
“everything you do, has led up to any moment that you do” so inspirational 10/10
2:29 does anyone else sing along with resin time now?
6:25 Katelyn is having a Mulan moment
13:00 I love how Katelyn still has the Pringles earrings, lol
14:30 not even the same flower...
Resin time is the best song 😌
Seeing the pretty "Mulan moment" made me want to create more art! :>
After making it... What? 2.5 years?... Without getting COVID, my husband, daughter, and I just got it. I spent that week watching all your old videos and I just want to say I'm thrilled to have discovered this channel. You two are the cutest couple and watching y'all just makes my heart happy.
I hope that and your family get better soon!
Feel better soon!!
My family found them from their Cat Cactus video.
I cannot express how thankful I am that I decided to scan the QR code for the Danger Tape Dispenser.
I tip my hat to y'all.
I just want to say thank y’all, for helping me discover my passion and love of resin crafting. I started watching y’all about 2 months ago, and decided to try resin art with my husband soon after. I ended up showing a few pieces, such as bottle openers and “Crystal” necklaces, to my sister-in-law. She enjoyed them enough she asked if I would be willing to make decorations for her baby shower (which is in just a few hours, now), to which I gladly agreed. I got so carried away with the honor of being asked to make decorations, that I ended up also making party favors (shot glasses for each guest bag), game prizes, small medium and large (necklaces, shakers, and working Ferris wheel photo frame), as well as many decorations, all of which took over 2 gallons of resin. Of course my husband has had to help me the last few days since I may or may not have taken too much on, however it’s been an absolute blast to watch our hard work continuously improve and impress our friends and family, and I’m truly excited to see how the baby shower guests and prize winners will react when they see everything we put together for the party. 🖤💙🖤
That's really sweet, I hope they enjoyed the prizes!
This is so beautiful ❤
The most true E&K quote ever is “our two brains combined make one functioning brain”, and I feel that so much in this video 😂
To make the phone case look nicer you could just stick the tape to the inside of the case. That way the outside, which you'll actually see, will be nice and flat and you'll have more control over the design :D
That door squeak edit really got me.
I'm [hopefully] going to start selling my resin jewelry after the holidays. Been my dream since twelve. Love getting inspo from you guys.
best of luck
@@shrijasingh2649 Ty
Did you do it
@@deloresdelruby6087 Nope. Still making jewelry tho. Had different family issues come up.
Oh god, that first hack takes me back- that used to be a big thing back in my highschool, except we used nailpolish. I never personally tried it, but i had friends who had who told me it worked surprisingly well.
My mom taught us how to make them when we were kids with nail polish and stripped bread ties. It's a good craft for young kids stuck inside.
I definitely remember a craft kit from my youth where you made flowers using a similar method (but of course not with resin, it was like a plastic when dried)
@@alexshaw8167 oh man I had that kit! I had completely forgotten about it until now
i think the spoon is actually a book weight to keep a book open to a certain page. so if your cookbook keeps flopping closed, you can pin it open so you don’t have to keep flipping to get back to your recipe. still a not great version, but not as bad as treating it as a bookmark.
First hack was done with Dip it Fantasy Film 'glass' kit. I have the same one, its a vintage type acryllic dip resin.
E and K's content and editing obviously shows how much love and work has been put into their vids
The 1st one also works with nail polish! I’ve actually done it myself a while ago. You just need to make sure the petals/leaves are small and/or narrow for it to hold
katelyn going "I've been training for this my entire life" and then looking hella confused at the camera when Evan agreed JHDKFASDASKDFJSAKDFKASKD yall are so entertaining effortlessly I can't
The creaky door joke got me more than it should have
OMG the Tim Taylor "huuuuh?" The NOSTALGIA! 13:00
Tell me why I almost love the detail shots not being in focus or not even on subject even more than before.???? Lol the chaos is *chefs kiss*
For things like this, you should do kina like you do the expensive vs cheap comparisons. Do the hack, then take the idea and make it better. Like, maybe at least sand and shape hack 3 to get it clear and level. And for the bookmark, either do use the idea to make it into a necklace, maybe pop the resin out of the spoon so it has a dome shape, or find something better to use as a bookmark made out of resin.
Great idea! Reminds me of when Babish would make a dish from a movie or TV show and improve it when the original "recipe" turns out meh or awful.
The chairman of Noodles Mr. Nood McNoddleface noted "bruh". 🤣 I love your little sponsor blocks you guys do. They're the only ones I never skip through, I really enjoy them! 😊
I actually had a bookmark with a similar shape, sort of like a hook. It would go in parallel with the spine, and the decorated “spoon” part hooked over the edge so it was out of the way.
I think it could work, but I’m not sure the craft hack intended anything more than this lol
Evan and Katelyn's ad reads are a genuine joy to watch
For the resin dip leaves, I've done something similar using nail polish, and it works pretty well (and a bit easier, I'd guess).
Great video as always, would love to see more
Also, you guys assume that they are always using UV resin, but I doubt it on most of these
Sandrartes (channel) has done some dip leaves successfully.
I've used glue and colorant and it worked great!
seing how you two interact with each other always makes me feel so happy and calm. thank you for your content 🥰
greetings from Germany
I litterally haven't watched you guys in two years. And you are.... just amazing. I'm so glad you didn't change v much and still have the same comedy!!
i'd genuinely love to see you guys recreate the resin nail holder unsanded bottom spikey pokey murder tool thing but with proper tools and technique! :D
lol @spikey pokey murder tool. I love it. Going to try and remember that phrase for later today. My daughter an I are team tackling the kitchen so I can wreck it making bbq chicken. Will tell her later to check the chicken with a spikey pokey murder tool. Thank you for the laughs :D
Came here to second the spikey-pokey-murder tool!
For the 4th hack might be improved by taping a piece of smooth laminate to the back (SPRAYED WITH MOLD RELEASE) taped to the back. Depending on the material, you might be able to smooth the cut edges with a bit of heat.
Your channel is one of the few that I don't skip the sponsor parts because you make them so entertaining.
Sadley I've only just came across your channel the last 3 weeks,its not necessarily the sort of channel I would normaly watch,but with in just 3 weeks u guys have got me addicted lol,the amount of such cool stuff u guys do is amazing!!!!what I love the most is,the way your are with each other,rarely do u see so much love and respect in husband/wife channels,the coolest couple,the funniest couple,and the most interesting couple,i need this channel in my life right now,so thank u so much guys ❤
The editing style is getting crazy awesome. Great job guys, that was give you a real personality in the middle of all the craft channels.
the editing in this video is absolutely hilarious - its great in the other videos, but this one is somethin special-
Oh, I've done that first one using nail polish, it was a trend some years back to make like these flower crowns of nailpolish flowers. A thing to keep in mind is that the frame needs to be slightly bent to create the full petal effect. I think you can still find tutorials for it online, I'd love to see you guys make a resin version of it! Embrace your inner flower girls!
Absolutely love Evan. Absolutely love Katelyn. The hilarious editing as always steals the show
This channel is one of very few that I genuinely enjoy watching!
I used to have a craft kit like the first life hack! brought me back to my childhood haha
The first one would be an amazing gift. It's like a more advanced version of knitting someone a scarf. It could be customized to their favorite color/the color that they wear the most, and the time that it takes is exactly what makes it such a nice gift.
Everytime I watch your videos, my mood goes up by like a 100. Thank you so much for posting your content and making my day better!
5:10 i call that the scanimation effect. i love that you used it.
Her 5 minute hacks voice was so good I didn't realize it was an ad until she said squarespace! XD
you two are just simply wonderfully dorky and adorable.
Never stop what you do, being you... the pair of you as one...
you are magic.
the two of your draw people to you in such variety and care.
Much loves...
I actually scanned the danger tape dispenser buy here code at the very end of the video and was not disappointed. The edits are amazing as always!
This is my kid’s favorite show since she was 9 (she is 13 now). She absolutely loves your channels!! This is a great family friendly channel for kids and adults!
*I definitely don’t sing along to resign time song with her* :/
Yes!!! More of these videos please!!
I've never seen anyone more disappointed that a hack has worked.
You two are always here when I need you. It's been hard for the past few months but I'm really grateful bc you help me see that it is possible, you can have the job, the art and the love. Thanks Evan and Katelyn
2:22 i absolutely love when you edit evan and make him so *w i d e*
The worst thing ever is when you can’t do something so you finally ask for help then they do it in under .5 seconds 😭 so embarrassing
I love the leaf-comb.😍
Evan switching out his cat hears for demon horns is just… Perfectly matched with his chaos
The "spoon bending" with your mind made me laugh out loud. I'm surprised how well the leaves turned out in the first one! Good job making what was probably a fake video into something real and cool looking.
that handwave transition tho....
*chef's kiss*
Notification of another E&K video:
ME LITERALLY RUNNING TO WATCH IT 🏃🏃🏃
~RESINating~
My guess was that you'd release the resin from the spoon, flip it dome-side up, and then you have a little galaxy bubble. And you could make that a pendant, like Katelyn's guess. But, that's too good of one for those dolts in who-knows-what-country. And don't forget the mold release!
A flexible silicone mould would still make the demoulding process easier than a rigid metal spoon
Honestly a detailed version of the phone case could be a fun minisode!
We need more of these videos. I love you two!
lmao when Evan gasped so harshly the little animation of air was hilarious :"D Katelyn, you really are a master at editing :''D Your editing is always so top notch hilarious I LOVE IT
The spoon thing maybe isn’t a bookmark? It seems more like a “hold your recipe book open on the counter” tool. Seems really useful for that task, even though it is a useless bookmark. I often set a jar on top of my cookbook to hold it open when I am cooking, and the resin spoon would be neat to me.
Omg haven't watched you guys in a WHILE lol. Glad to have a vid of yours pop up on my feed again.
I love that Katelyn still uses the Pringles earrings.
The animated breath of air Evan takes after that evil laugh 🤣🤣🤣 you guys always make my day :)
THIS IS SOOO COOOL cant wait till i start my resin journey
What a fun and fresh couple! You two made a perfect match in this craft!
Crazy... I've had a kit for this (resin dipping) for two years and I tried doing it yesterday with mixed results ... and today I start you're video and you're doing resin dipping! I also had issues with it popping even with special resin.
Maybe for the lavender ring holder, use wax paper instead of parchment paper so it doesn’t stick as much and maybe it would be less cloudy. I mean, the wax may melt with the resin but maybe it would work because it works for baking in 300 degrees Fahrenheit
I just wanted to suggest that for the lavender resin hack, they probably didn’t use parchment paper, I believe they used wax paper. Since wax paper has a more shiny surface and might theoretically be able to démoli the resin easier.
I loved the creaky door video, it fit perfectly.
Honest I love you guys so much. I used to watch you a couple years back and I’m so glad I found y’all again :]
FanTAStic. Please do more of this lol
Evan: Bend the spoon with just your mind.
Katelyn: Looks intently at spoon.
Me: There is no spoon.
I just realized how old this reference is. Now I feel old.
You're right! There is no spoon, only Zuul. *sage nod*
I’ve done the first one as like a craft kit thing as a kid. No idea what the materials were made of except that it had to air dry over a period of time but it totally worked. Makes me suspect it’s a different material than the us resin you used. I’ve also done it with nail polish but that’s an exercise in frustration.😅
I agree with Katelyn about the spoon being a necklace pendant, it just seems better than a bookmark.
With this thumbnail I thought they finally made crack resin
