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! 💜
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....?
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. ❤😂😊
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!
Thank you so much for trying these out! This one was so much fun to watch and made me laugh at your witty remarks! I have never tried the DIY kits from five below, but may have to try the candle kit! Thank you Brandi so much for sharing ❤❤
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.
Brandi, I got my TDS paper. Love them. I tried to print the Download ones. But I have to educate myself on how to resize images. Love them also. So thank you. 🙂😊😉😂
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. 😂 I love the blue you used. They came out really cute. I love the cupcake one. 😊
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.
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?
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.
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 love these test kit videos it would be cool if you were able to get some of the kiddie ones from like Michaels or somewhere lol I like to think I am sometimes I will pick up the kits especially at five below because of the price
You're so nice to try these out for us. You always go above and beyond for us!😘😘
Awwww (hugs)
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! 💕

I am so happy to hear that!! You as well my friend! Thanks for stopping in!

Good Kim because I am going to be doing this a lot more!! You gotta gimme some ideas!!
What a great series this would be Brandi!!

Hahah! Thanks girlie!
Thanks Brandi! Glad you were able to get the video out 😉
Lol now to finish tonights..lol
I have been using the paper clay quite a bit, with silicone molds to put embellishments on my crafts. I live it.
It's great clay
This was fun! Brandi, u r a riot! You make everything so entertaining!! Thank you!
❤️💚💛💙💚💛❤️
The candle one is a good one for a beginner. Thank you for sharing.💜💜
Love these!🌹🌹🌹
Yes, definitely do more kits! Love your content always
Thanks girlie!! (Hugs)

yes please do more!!
Thanks for trying out the craft kits. The candles are cute. Definitely show us more.
I would love to see more of these kits from 5 below.
I'm so happy to hear that!!
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.
Thank you for testing these products good job I like the candle 🕯️
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.

The candles were pretty! Do more try outs. You'll save us money. Thanks Brandi.😊😊💖💖
Thank you
Brandi, I got my TDS paper. Love them. I tried to print the Download ones. But I have to educate myself on how to resize images. Love them also. So thank you. 🙂😊😉😂
Printing can be tricky. I am working on getting a new printer and have had a few people ask me to do a walk through
that would be awesome. Thanks again.@@thediystruggle
Thanks for testing these out. The candles are cute.
Glad you like them! Thanks for popping in
I love the candles🎉 the large one is my favorite. You did good Brandi, the kids will have fun. ( With supervision of course )😅❤
Thank you! 🤗
Great demo Brandi. The slits should have been holes just big enough to accomodate the wick. Cute anyway. Thank you. 😊🙏
Oh that's a good idea
Yes try more! I’ve tried one with alcohol ink and it was awesome for $5 ❤❤❤
Tfs!
I love some of these!!!
Thanks for sharing. I doubt if the manufacturer tried making the candles. 🤣
I mean cover that whole and your golden..lol

Girl I was stressing... they turned out so good though. I need more candle molds..lol
I think I have molds so let me check and I'll send your way if I do. Do you need anymore soy wax?
I love your creative ideas

I paused the vid and saw that she used ‘creative paper clay’
Yep creative paper clay! If you are interested it's in my amazon affiliate link in Description!!!

Thank you! Maximum effort here..lol
Hello what do u think about granola air dry clay ? Do u like it or no. Have a wonderful day
Idk that I tried that. I have used Daass. I can't remeber the other brand and paper clay.
What if U tried clay for the candles. U can add another color also🌞
Not a bad idea at all!!
I love these test kit videos it would be cool if you were able to get some of the kiddie ones from like Michaels or somewhere lol I like to think I am sometimes I will pick up the kits especially at five below because of the price
I'll have to look into those!! Thanks for the idea!!!
