Jackie, you really need to wear a respirator when doing resin products there’s a lot of bad side effects from being exposed resin and I know you have a health issues.
The candles were scented because you don’t eat candles! They don’t want to risk people eating fake foods..as you do in fact usually eat food 😅 That’s the difference. Scenting something people don’t eat vs something people usually eat. Companies generally avoid scenting things like food if they resemble foods to avoid lawsuits, candles however are not food so they’re safe to scent.
@@recoveringsoul755 Play Doh is non toxic, meaning if it was accidentally consumed it would not cause major bodily harm. Should it be consumed? No, but it's better than eating literal resin.
@@GenderedMess it also has a scent and is made for children to play with Same as crayons have a scent. Small children are known for putting things in their mouths. Lots of things have a scent. Maybe it's hard to make unscented products? I don't think the scented candles argument is valid because soap is scented too, deliberately, and is definitely not good for eating
Honestly, the gingerbread house experience was pretty much true to life. With royal icing, it starts off gloopy and takes a while to harden. You have to hold the house pieces together until the icing hardens, or else it collapses. And the decorations really do start to slide if you're not holding them in place. At least here, you can solidify the "icing" immediately. I know there are geniuses out there who can make a perfectly stunning gingerbread house, but I am not one of them, so mine always end up looking like the aftermath of a visit from the Big Bad Wolf XD
Since I don't eat my gingerbread houses, I stick the house part together with hot glue! Because you're right, holding the pieces long enough for the royal icing to harden is HARD. And I'm right there with you, my houses always look a little worse for wear by the time I'm done.
Little tip: Try doing most of the decorating BEFORE putting the house together. Like while the pieces can still lay flat. It's way easier to make candies stick that way. Then fine tune after putting the walls together.
Trying to glue a house together with royal icing is a nightmare!! We make candy and do that- it is so much faster and more reliable. Then we make THICK royal icing for the decorations. And you put the icing on the decoration, not on the house first. Once they’re all dry, you can put more royal icing to tidy it up.
Build a cardboard form first, then affix the pieces to it with a few small dots of melted chocolate to make it easier to hold. When I was a kid this was in part the job of the youngest child to hold a cheap chocolate bar piece until their fingers were coated in melty chocolate then touch the backs of the pieces before adults/teens put them against the forms. The child is then praised and sent off with a cookie to lick their fingers clean and be out of the way. The chocolate sets fast and makes it easy to pop the form inward and free after the royal icing has had a few days to fully cure. We assembled the buildings, let them cure two days, then removed the forms, decorated in stages over a few days - this let us tilt the houses to different angles as we worked on one or two faces at a time, drying for a few hours in between. Then moved to their display platters and touched up. Takes about 10 days to do one or two weeks if you are baking them from scratch as well. there's a lot of waiting for things to dry/cure. Kits started releasing in the 90's and honestly the kits have always misrepresented the time commitment and tried to sell it as a 'fun afternoon or evening activity to do with kids, possibly on the holiday'. It's intentionally frustrating to incentivize buying more 'to try again'.

I actually have got the rare one. The buddy the elf spaghetti. It was really cool. It was actually kinda hard to make. But I know you could accomplish it. Tips on finding it: The shake is different the rare one has a little rattle and it weighs heavier than the normal one also it is wrapped in the hot cocoa wrapper. I’d love to see you make it on your channel so I hope those tips help!!!! Also I am a big fan of your channel!!!!!
I noticed for the gingerbread house was to use the spreader that the gingerbread kit gave you to apply resin. I'm guessing they wanted you to use the spreader to spread the resin instead of directly applying it to the roof with the bottle so it won't be as messy. Sorry it's quite difficult to explain I really love your videos they are so satysfying and fun! ❤
I think with the gingerbread house it would be better to maybe go in with some E-6000 or hot glue and glue the pieces together so you don't waste your resin. Then do one side at a time and keep it level while decorating and then hit it with UV. Then do another side, keep it level, etc.. Also, for the chocolate resin, I wonder if you would be able to poke a hole somewhere to allow some air flow to make it come out better??
I LOVE that you added the basting brush to the turkey! It made it just a little bit better and super cute. I think I would have added some cut up pieces of green paper on top to look like some sort of garnish, like parsley. 🤔
hi jackie i just wanted to say thank you for helping me get through all these years, i’ve been watching you since i was about 12 and just your positivity and humour always lifted my moods when i was in tough spots and idk if this is weird to say but your my comfort youtuber, im 17 now and i still come back to watch your videos 💗
I manifested this today. Thank you, universe. lol I bought the gingerbread house for me and my daughter.. wanted the Cocoa too but they were $36 CAD in my local AB store.. But at least I got to pick the one I wanted
Jackie please get the mini brands books, the books can be open and it has REAL PAGES THAT YOU CAN READDD. I'm already getting excited, can't wait for you to unbox some
For the gingerbread house perhaps a better technique would be to work vertically (down --> up) instead of in a horizontal manner (left --> right). That way you only have to support the gumdrop/whipped cream at the bottom, allowing the decorations to stack/lean against the bottom that you support before setting it. You can work column for column that way without it drooping too much.
For the hot cocoa one, what I did was I put the brown resin on the outer plastic in the cup, set it, and then used extra resin from the other kits to fill the middle. It worked pretty well to make it still look like hot cocoa. They definitely need to find a better solution though.
There's a 4th one - Buddy the Elf's Candy Spaghetti Plate! - very elusive, but did see someone on here show it... $15+tax CAD?!!! where?!!! I finally found some at a local Showcase store, and they were $35+tx CAD!!!! Please, where did you find them!!!!! I'm hoping to find some on Amazon for cheap afterwards...the Halloween ones dropped price after, so 🤞🤞
For my gingerbread house I did everything that I wanted to look like snow with the resin first and hardened it and then for the gumdrops and whipped cream I made a little puddle of resin on my silicone mat and dipped the bottom of each little piece into the resin before placing it on the house. That way it had enough resin to hold each piece but not so much that it went sliding down.
That's a good point on the gingerbread house. I think some tools that aren't included in the kit would be better to use, like a normal size craft tweezers to pick up the tiny parts. Love how you used your leftover items on other projects. You should have had enough resin in first project to complete the whole thing! My guess is if you are using the entire amount of resin and it is not coming out, maybe turning it upside down and putting a large pinhole in the bottom would work? You'd then have to have something to set it down on to keep it turned upside down while working with it to avoid leaks.
I just found it today, by weighing the few in store in the produce section that I thought might be it haha! I looked crazy, but it worked! My Walmart scale said 0.24oz for the ball that was the Elf one
The resin being such a pain in the buns was exactly what I had to deal with when doing the Halloween edition ones! My son and I ended up just getting pliers to squeeze the resin for us to make it work. We wanted to give up so badly!
Jackie's a better person than I am, the moment that resin doesn't come out I'd be cutting open that container maybe the bottom or just cut the side off lol
I bought my first mini craft a couple of months ago. I bought the gingerbread house. It was a lot smaller than i was expecting, even after watching a lot of Jackies videos, but it was fun to put together. I did have a little uv light from a another craft to flash cure it be firm enough to hold its shape. I live in australia and its summer here so doing the full, final set outside wasn't an issue. I did do some personaliation. I used some markers to colour the 'icing' patterns, little nail art gems and added some extra resin then painted it white to look more like snow. It was fun and i have thought about getting another. I got mine at kmart for $13 aud
Today's my Birthday, but everyday's my birthday whenever you open a Mystery pack of something, Jackie! ^^ Also, would love to see you open mystery packs called Disney Doorables! They're fun to collect and you MIGHT find your favorite character in it! And there's certain themed packs, like movie packs and holiday packs! And might I suggest trying Disney's Speedstorm, if you're into racing games? ^^ They've recently added not only the characters from Disney's Frozen for the new season, but also Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Ortensia the Cat, two characters from Walt Disney's cartoon shorts WAY before he opened his own studio OR drew Mickey Mouse! We fans affectionately call Oswald Mickey's "Big Brother". ^^
Today Jackie taught me the gingerbread house resin came with a nozzle 😂 when I opened mine I actually didn’t get one so used the knife to spread my resin around haha
I noticed the gumdrops were actually scented! I have the same gripes with the holiday collection besides the gingerbread house. They need to give more resin for the hot cocoa and add some more elements like seasoning for the turkey.

There’s 4
Jackie, you really need to wear a respirator when doing resin products there’s a lot of bad side effects from being exposed resin and I know you have a health issues.
What they really failed at was that they could have turned the ball into an ornament display for a xmas tree
That would have been so smart! They really missed
This!
omg i love this idea want
This is an amazing idea!
I thought it did if you put the stand in the bottom and the part on the top half to hold a string and put the halves together again

Feels like an American thing tbh. Only Americans would try to eat a scented fake food toy.😅

I’m so glad that Miniverse listened to customers and got rid of the foil seal that used to be on the resin. They’re so much easier to use now!
It’s unfortunately still a thing. You can see that the foil is stuck in the lids. All of mine still had them
Yeah they use always it, but jame in the lid
Universal fact: Jackie never fails to entertain us

Jackie is the only person I will watch do miniverse crafts. She’s the only one that I subscribe to that does them right 😂
Mini verse make it Cafe series 3 . Has a jar of pickle 🥒 spears. Complete with mustard seeds. So cute
For the gingerbread house, you can do it in sunlight if you decorate each piece first before assembling it. :]
Absolutely yeas. That's how i have decorated real ones since i realized it is way easier 😊
I think you just saved future me much frustration
well THATS genius!
Smarrrrrt!!!
Jackie please get the mini brands books, the books can be open and it has REAL PAGES THAT YOU CAN READDD. I'm already getting excited, can't wait for you to unbox some

Hi love you
Makes me want to try to put together a real gingerbread house with my mom & sister(if she wants to do it with us)🥰😅🥰
You could decorate the ginger bread house roof flat before assembling it then just do across the top last
I REMEMBER that goomba ginger bred house..I was like WOW Jackey!!😻
I know I watch a lot of UA-camrs, but I think you’re my favorite know what I know you are❤❤❤

i already have Dragon city...im always one step ahead lol
You are one of my favorite UA-camrs I’m subscribed!❤😊
Oooooh I’m so excited
I noticed the gumdrops were actually scented! I have the same gripes with the holiday collection besides the gingerbread house. They need to give more resin for the hot cocoa and add some more elements like seasoning for the turkey.
