Thank you so much for sharing these five below craft kits! Loved those little planters! I laughed so hard when you were struggling getting that package opened, that I scared my dog! Thanks again Brandi ❤❤
Brandi, it is helpful that you share these craft kits with us. That way we can be a little bit more confident about what we’re buying. You rock. Thanks
I just cant get over how wonderful you are. ❤ you have a great sense of humor and I have learned so much from you. Your channel is the BEST DIY channel, hands down.
Here you are again trying out projects for us. You are awesome. I love everything you did today. The frog is adorable. That packaging sucked. I love that you never give up. I think the flowers turned out very pretty. I like that paint palette. Thank you for sharing, Brandi. God Bless.
I had to laugh at the texture paste debacle. The fact that you actually know how texture is supposed to work makes it funny for anyone who thinks that the kit teaches “texture”. I love the way they turned out ❤️❤️❤️TY!
Thank you for sharing.. I like that you open and test the product before I go to spend..I don't work a regular job, but I do many types of crafts. Thank you.
I need the planters, especially the turtle. Growing up my dad nicknamed me turtle. I love when you do these videos! ❤ You opening up the paint kit hilarious 😂.
All of this was very helpful. Watching you fight with the packaging looks like me with my daughter's Easter baskets!! I love the little frog planter, it was so cute! 💜😊
You crack me up! Love, love, love the turtle! 🐢 I have been driven completely insane by packaging....what are they trying to do, save it from the apocalypse!?! That paint pallet looks like a lime...I love it! Thanks!
Omg I was having anxiety watching you try to get that dang thing open 🤦🏼♀️. Cute little turtle 🥰 ok stop making me laugh so I can enjoy the vid girl 😂😂
I love 5 below and it's right next door to my DT. I've been getting paintbrushes and they work great. I bought the really nice sketch books for my granddaughter who just turned 13. She draws so amazing and I encourage her talent by buying things she likes and things to try. I love the frog planter and I'm glad you showed it. It's a really nice kit. I also bought the mechanical pencils and you get 48 for $5.50 that's a great deal. The paint palette is a nice find. Thanks for sharing Brandi
You have a lot more patience than I do! That craft box would have been across wherever I was trying to open it! Lol proud of you! BTW: you made that frog look so darn cute!
Wowsy wow! Thanks for being our tester….yeah if I’m gonna do textured I love using baking soda or corn starch…you did good…us artists are quick resolution thinkers…good job mi amiga!!!
I know this is an old video LOL and a while back probably months ago I had purchased the marble paint kit can't wait to open it now and see what it's like it's sitting packed away in a box somewhere
I love the little planters, especially that little turtle! Oh, mercy me, that texture paste is way too runny. 😅 If you want to play with texture paste, I would recommend getting one from Michael's or Hobby Lobby or another art store. I am particial to the Golden brand of texture pastes and paints. They have different types of texture paste from a light texture to a heavy body texture paste. It all depends on how much texture you want. I usually go for the medium, unless I am doing something very specific. I think everyone should give texture pastes a try. You will have fun playing with it and will get better at creating with it as you go.
Thanks for showing us stuff from 5 below. Although I don’t have 1 where I live, I can order things online and have them shipped from 5 below. I was curious about their craft kits. As for packaging getting tougher and harder to deal with, unfortunately because of the amount of theft worldwide, they have to do something to make it more difficult for the ones who don’t want to acquire stuff by paying for it. That’s my guess anyway!
Pain covers far better on porous surfaces, when you use a sealant. Either a spray on clear coat , or a brush on. It uses far less paint and the results are better. (not splotchy). it ups the quality of your work, even on cheap pieces --or especially, on cheap pieces.
“And for our next craft kit, we bring you TAPE. How many ways can tape be entertaining?” The kits are cute, but they are limiting to what is in the box. Since kits are generally geared toward children the charisma is lacking. They’re good if you want to see if your child has a genuine interest in something, but parents need to be prepared to expand on what is provided in the kit if their child has real interest.
I can make cement entertaining...lol that tape took me 10 minutes to completely get off of everything and then I kept having my table get stuck to it. It ripped up my set twice I had to fix everything..lol
LMAO..damed packaging! It is for ages 6+. Sure......can you imagine a 6 year old struggling with that? Talk about a discouraging experience. Way to go, turning the kiddos off to painting. Ya..NO! Pass on this kit.
Thank you for being our tester, Brandi! ❤
You fighting with that packaging has me rolling. Hilarious 😂😂

LOL 🤣 Your too much with the packaging !! Definitely could relate !! 🤪👍🏼
That packaging was so mean to me...🥹

Right, I hope they have shelters this well built..lol
That packaging wasn't going to give up its contents, it fought to the end😂 I saw the palette and thought it was a lime slice, I might need a snack😂
It did fight till the end..haha
Omg I was having anxiety watching you try to get that dang thing open 🤦🏼♀️. Cute little turtle 🥰 ok stop making me laugh so I can enjoy the vid girl 😂😂

I bought some texture paint from 5 Below and yes they are very runny.
I was really surprised!!

Dang Fort Knox should be as secure as the texture packaging.
Hahaha
Is that texture paste what you use when you layer a stencil? I've been wanting to try that❤
Yes it is!! I love this very much!
I love making my own as well. But, this is easy to grab and work with
😊

I can make cement entertaining...lol that tape took me 10 minutes to completely get off of everything and then I kept having my table get stuck to it. It ripped up my set twice I had to fix everything..lol
@@thediystruggle I know I’ve been entertained by your videos about cement.
LMAO..damed packaging! It is for ages 6+. Sure......can you imagine a 6 year old struggling with that? Talk about a discouraging experience.
Way to go, turning the kiddos off to painting. Ya..NO! Pass on this kit.
