    Wellllll, of course I want you to try out more kits! This was so much fun and funny to watch, apologies? Poor little Sally and Sam, home from school with Grandma and that first kit. There would have been tears. 😂 😂 I love love love the candles! Go Brandi! 💕

    Oh Brandi… once again, your humour has brightened my day… I feel for you with the packaging… sitting with my 2 yr old grandson on his bday.. he is dancing like he has ants in his pants and I’m trying to unpackage the “easy to unwrap” packaging 🙄🙄🙄 😂😂😂
    Thank you for being you! You are such a bright light in the world! 💜

    That was fun to watch. But I don't think I would let my kids/ grandkids do the candle one. For a clay pot putting it in a small bowl works great.

    What a great series this would be Brandi!!
    A while back, I decided to have a 'summer of crafting' with my daughter and nieces. We shopped kits at all the usual spots. They each got 3 kits. It was going to be epic!
    Needless to say, it was challenging. I still have a few kits lying around somewhere.
    That was 5+ yrs ago. Maybe the kits have improved since then....?

    I have been using the paper clay quite a bit, with silicone molds to put embellishments on my crafts. I live it.

  • @melissahartsell7158
    @melissahartsell7158 5 місяців тому +2

    I am sure that clay was just old. I got some from the Dollar Tree not too long ago and it was dried out. but a neat kit still to use with other clay. The candles came out so pretty! Yes to trying more kits!

    The jewelry bowl isn't the worst thing ever. Kinda close but not all the way. 😅😂😂 I love the candles though...I am going to have to go to 5 below and check out the kits. I can't wait until my nephews are old enough so I can force them to have fun crafting with me.

    Great demo Brandi. The slits should have been holes just big enough to accomodate the wick. Cute anyway. Thank you. 😊🙏

    I’ve been to Five Below once. I felt it was chaotic and messy. I bought a hairbrush. The store was just too messy for me, but I see others find all sorts of stuff there. All that said, none of the problems you encountered were the fault of Five Below. They were probably selling it because the product had been sitting in a warehouse for a long while. I like the second attempt. No home should be without a jewelry bowl chip. Ooohhhhh… waxxx… ooohhhh what a mess… but they’re cute. If you can make the candle so that the areas so that the slit is tipped upward less wax may un amid.

    Hi Brandi, great job on testing out these craft kits! I been thinking of trying the candle kit but haven't yet. But I'm so gonna try it now, I'm going to get 2 kits one for me and 1 for my granddaughter. I should save it till schools out, but that would be so hard. I'm laid up now after getting dizzy falling and fracturing my ankle in 4 places. So now after I'm home from surgery and all I cannot put any weight on my leg. So I'm bored lol! 😂 I may not even wait for my granddaughter, but 1st I have to get my hubby or someone to go purchase me 2 kits. Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to see more of the kits done. ❤😂😊

    This is actually on my to-do list. Not these kits but candles in general. Tyf trying it out for us. I'm still a little nervous tho.

    Maybe you have to use the entire package of cream cheese so it's thicker? I'm glad you did this because I was going to grab that to make with the grands!! That candle kit is not very well designed 😂😂. Maybe put wax paper in the mold and poke a hole for the wick 😂😂. TYFS, for r the work around with different clay and for the laughs ❤❤

    I'm here Brandi but you already figured it out girl. I would have microwaved the wax, takes a few mins and the tape is what I would have done. You did great but then again you always do.

    • @thediystruggle

      Girl I was stressing... they turned out so good though. I need more candle molds..lol

    For a while I was ready to experiment with air dry clay, which I never saw at DT, and I've never gotten around to making any with the "recipes" I have. What I'm most interested in is shaping small things (or cutting them out) to apply to vases, etc. before painting. What is the paper clay you used?
