- Five Minute Crafts
has entered the world of iPhone hacks.
- Do they work or will they break your phone?
Let's find out.
- She's using a box cutter
to make a hole in the top of a cardboard box,
putting her phone in it
and then putting the box over her head.
- Nothing says comfortable viewing experience
like lying on a hardwood floor
with a cardboard box in your head.
- I don't know if you've ever
dropped your phone on your face.
I have, it hurts.
- What do you do if you have to touch the screen?
I guess Pinocchio could've used it.
He could've just told a lie,
his nose would extend and tap the screen for him.
- Looks like they're cutting up a hairband,
not the Bon Jovi kind.
- How are you gonna hold your phone
if you've got all these pointy springs on the back?
It feels like a tetanus infection waiting to happen.
- You can tell they have a lot of confidence
in this idea
because they're using a fake iPhone.
That color never existed.
- Let's try this out.
- Yeah, it doesn't work. (crashing noise)
- This is why companies put "results may vary"
disclaimers in their ads.
Take a bottle of Coke, a rubber band and an iPhone,
and you've got yourself a perfect little tripod
for taking pictures of plants
from four inches off of the ground.
Just buy a real tripod, no condensation.
- She's got a balloon and she's pressing her phone on it,
and now she's got a DIY phone case.
Okay.
- You could buy a phone case
that actually protects your phone, or you could do this.
- Balloon animals are so 20th century.
Let's see if it actually works.
(balloon hisses as it deflates)
(people laughing in response)
Pretty simple concept here
water plus lens equals macro lens.
- The iPhone 5s is not waterproof.
- I'm just super impressed by how perfectly
she aligns the drop of water with the camera.
- Does this really work?
Not really.
- No, it kinda did. - Kinda.
Can you tell which one is which?
- If you guessed left, you're right.
- She's cutting up pantyhose and
covering her iPhone with it and taking a picture.
Yikes.
- Sepia? More like creepier.
- Want your pictures to look worst?
Here's how.
- This seems like a rare example of
the before photo looking better than the after photo.
- Doesn't really work. Let's try it out.
No, it doesn't work.
We've got another camera filter craft here.
- Sunglasses are for your face, not your phone.
She really should be wearing them.
She's squinting.
- I can't think of a single time.
I've wanted my photos to look
like I was taking them through sunglasses.
- She's putting her phone in a cup
and placing it in the water.
- Maybe it's a very expensive message in a bottle.
- It says underwater housing
but that's the smallest house I've ever seen.
They didn't actually go underwater
but your photos might make a splash.
- They found a way to play holograms using this iPhone.
- A teeny, tiny "holo-dick".
- A ho-hollow what?
- Holo, holo-deck. What did I say?
This is trickier to pull off than it looks.
You have to have four videos playing simultaneously.
- Let's see if we can do it.
- Ooh, that's pretty.
They've got a phone case, a 3D pen, a balloon and slime.
Everybody has slime laying around the house, right David?
- No.
- My biggest problem with the egg case
is that it would break fast.
Do you remember gak, David?
- I never heard that word before in my life.
- And that's amazing.
If you've heard of gak, leave a comment below.
- They've got a piece of felt.
- It looks like they skinned the Energizer Bunny.
- I'm hunting wabbits.
- And they're turning it into another phone case.
Good tip for spying on your children.
- I think they were trying to be cute?
- It's totally inconspicuous.
They're turning a perfectly good sandal into a phone case.
- It's a new type of Croc.
I love the acting and the subtle makeup.
What do you think she's saying?
- Billy dumped me.
He says my face smells like dirty feet.
- Assembly foam and a latex glove
looks like the beginning to a long weekend.
Good luck fitting that in your pocket.
- If you've ever seen Cake Boss,
all the little decorations they use are made of fondant.
It's kind of like an edible Play-Doh.
- I used to eat Play-Doh.
- That explains a lot.
Do people really eat raw fondant?
- There was a study done that shows that
phones are just as dirty as toilets.
- Please don't eat things off your phone.
They're adding orange peels
and little flowers to a phone case.
- I find this design appealing
- Another fake phone.
Can we take a closer look at that Apple logo?
Looks like they need a new printer.
The phone case for scurvy patients.
- I vitamin C your point.
Now we're decapitating a baby
and cutting into the baby's head.
This isn't creepy at all.
- Reminds me of that episode of The Office
where Dwight cuts off the face of the CPR dummy
and wears it as a mask.
- This is a nightmare.
- The phone case made by Sid from Toy Story.
They're grabbing pen springs, magnets
and creating a nice little makeshift charging station.
- I think this is kind of a cool idea.
- It's a cool idea but you're gonna knock
those cables off real quick.
- Many pens were sacrificed during
the making of this Five Minute Craft.
- I hope they repent.
(crickets chirping)
Yeah.
Can't find your charger? How about cleaning your purse?
- It's probably at home,
plugged into the wall where you left it.
- I'm surprised no one has worn
this fashion accessory to the Met Gala.
- And it doubles as a duster.
My cats would love this.
She's got an old shoebox,
maybe from those Crocs earlier in the video.
- If you want a movie projector
that doesn't capture the whole screen,
here you go.
- Somebody tell that kid to get down in front.
So we're putting tape on a phone
and then we're using markers to create a DIY black light.
- You don't need a black light for a toilet.
You know it's dirty.
Black lights are for things that are supposed to be clean.
- Like hotel room sheets.
- Their toilet's got some weird streaks too.
It's almost like they were digging around in there.
- Easy lamp? We'll see about that.
- Crush your iPhone with a cup full of dirty bathwater?
Boom! An easy lamp.
Why don't they just wrap
the headphone cable around their phone?
- What are those things coming outta the earbuds there?
- She's using a piece of paper to really brighten
up the photo, make herself look better.
Want your photos to look really washed out?
Here you go.
We would never use any camera trickery to
make ourselves look better.
Water damaged phone? Here comes the rice, David.
- No rice! That's a pleasant surprise.
- Have a water damaged phone?
Get a water damaged vacuum with this neat trick.
I knew they couldn't resist the rice.
- No, no, not only is this not a craft.
It's wrong, it's bad for your iPhone
and a waste of perfectly good rice.
- So they're saying to save the little packets
that come in packages that keep things dry-
- Good advice.
- And put it in a Ziploc bag.
- It's a hit or miss with the Ziploc bag.
- Well it's better than rice at least
- That's for sure.
They say it saves a wet iPhone.
Actual results might vary.
They're taking a panorama and sort of manipulating it,
so it looks like there's more than one person in the shot.
This is one of those things,
You show your friends
and they're just totally not impressed,
and then you get really mad.
- Looks like she's playing Duck, Duck, Goose by herself.
- She's got a nice little bag for her phone here.
It's like that episode of SpongeBob
where they had the chocolate bags that
held chocolate bags that held chocolate bags.
Just grab your snap button press
you have lying around the house.
- I hate snap buttons. They never work.
It's so frustrating. Just snap.
Just try to snick 'em together.
- I've never had an issue with snap buttons.
She's holding a phone underneath her phone camera
to make a reflection.
Looks pretty cool but couldn't you just use any old mirror?
- Yeah, just take the mirror
outta your pocket, David, and use that.
- Fair enough.
Take out the second cell phone you have.
- Yeah.
- You criminal. - Drug Dealer.
- You adulterer. - Narc.
She could use Photoshop to do this.
Make sure you bring a microfiber cloth
if you're gonna do this.
Because if you smudge the screen, it's not gonna look good.
- Right.
- This Five Minute Craft begins
with the closeup of someone's butt.
Interesting start.
- Want your butt to look weird and misshapen?
Here's how, it's called the Pan Trick.
- I know more people who would be
interested in the Deep Pan Trick.
- How is this a craft exactly?
Or just taking a pan, matching it to your pants,
and then somebody's hiding in the closet
to make your butt look lumpy.
She's sitting on her couch, sending a text
and look, she's discovered iMessage effects.
- The balloons will not fly up around you in real life.
- It's too bad for the slam effect.
They didn't get like John Cena
to come in and body slam.
- I mean, this is really an irresponsible use of 9-1-1.
I mean maybe if they were giving her thumbs down?
We've got a young woman on the couch
looking at her phone and then taking a picture
of her boyfriend and slamming it on the table.
- Yeah, This is going in an interesting direction,
but no she's just trying to read her Instagram DMs,
without actually having the read receipt sent.
This feels like one of those hacks that's just an error
within the app that a developer is gonna fix.
- Oh, that'll show him. Ghost him.
This is not how to have a healthy relationship.
- No, they're cutting up a Squeegee ball toy.
- They love to cut faces off of things on this channel.
- Does rubbing cheap rubber on your face relieve stress?
I suppose if it works for her.
- How dirty is that going to get?
- Some people squeeze stress balls,
Other people rub stress balls on their face.
Whom am I to judge?
It's like the 21st century equivalent
of healing illness with leeches.
They're saying you can fix your
phone screen scratches with toothpaste.
Don't put toothpaste on your phone screen.
It might even be bad for the oleophobic
or fingerprint resistant coating.
I actually tried this once on a copy of
SmackDown! versus Roar for PlayStation 2,
it didn't work.
- You might not get scratches out of your phone
but you will protect against the gum disease,
gingivitis!
- They're rolling up tin foil and adding it
to a pencil to create a DIY Apple Pencil.
- That's really dumb.
Also Apple Pencils don't work on phones.
Why? nobody knows.
She's popping open a CD tray on her laptop.
Remember those? And putting a $5 bill in there.
- Who is stashing $5 bills?
Sounds like something a kid would do
after they get their tooth fairy money,
they wanna hide it.
- Can't be good for your computer
to put money in there like that.
The perfect stash or how to break your CD drive.
- Your wallet and pocket also work.
They've got a wire and an LED light,
taping that together so it actually works.
- Plug that right into a wall socket, kids.
- Don't do that.
And she's hollowing out a lime
and sticking the light right in. How about that?
- And then plugging it into a USB port in the computer.
- Useful.
- Why does she put it in a lime?
You know Science Fairs they've got a piece of fruit,
and they hook some wires into it
and it somehow becomes a battery and powers the light?
I thought that's what this was going to be.
But instead it's just a USB LED,
which is lighting up anyway
and they just stuck it inside a line.
- They're sticking the phone inside
of a ramen noodle and adding the powder on it.
And that's it.
- This just makes you stupider if you watch it.
- Maybe they fell for the 4chan microwave your iPhone scam?
- That's all there is to this video. There is nothing else.
I get more confused the more I think about it.
Can we just move on?
She's trying to run with her phone
but she just can't figure it out.
- Yeah, that doesn't happen when you drop your phone.
You could just buy an exercise arm band,
They're pretty cheap.
They're cutting out the bottom of a cup,
drawing circles on a cardboard box
and turning the boxes into speakers.
How about that?
- Throw away those expensive
Bluetooth speakers everyone
she's gluing feathers and other crafts
onto the back of a phone case.
Turn your iPhone into a cat toy.
What could possibly go wrong?
- Pick up your roadkill, turn it into a case.
The bird is looking backwards like
"why are these feathers flying outta my butt"?
They're scrapping their toy car for parts.
Just grab your spare servomotor.
I'm sure you have one of those lying around.
Just a reminder, this channel is called Five Minute Crafts.
- That's a really cool way to bend a ruler,
if you ever need to bend a ruler.
- I mean, who the hell thinks of some of this stuff?
Some of these crafts are so convoluted,
I genuinely don't know where to begin with this.
I like how earlier the girl running,
she wouldn't buy an arm band,
but for this girl, they'll build a whole bionic leg for her.
She's more machine than woman now.
- This is either really dumb or really brilliant.
Maybe this is the future, maybe it isn't.
- It's not.
Well, who's got the 70 million subs, David?
- Ah, not me.
- Five Minute Crafts.
- Imagine the poor editor at Five Minute Crafts,
having to watch these over and over and over again.
Oh my God.
- Yeah, if you like take 300 of that one.
They're turning an old Tic Tac case into a headphone hold.
- I'll give them this one, It's pretty neat.
It's just too bad that nobody uses wired earbud anymore?
- It's just gonna get all tangled up in there.
Good luck using the other ports on that computer.
- At least your headphones will smell good.
Just like mom used to do,
cutting my cheese with an X-ACTO knife.
I've always wondered how Swiss Cheese was made.
- Another contender for the Met Gala,
this fashionable cheese necklace.
- I got news for you, David.
That's not real cheese.
- Neither is Cheese Whiz.
Her portable fan is broken and that's a shame,
especially with this worldwide heat wave.
- This poor woman, her partner's a hoarder,
taking electronic scraps
and turning them into useless electronic devices
that she's then forced to use.
- It's really only useful
if you're comfortable enslaving a hamster.
It's like that episode of Rick and Morty where
the entire civilization powers Rick's car battery.
- PETA would not like this one.
He's eating Pringles at his computer.
Not sure how he didn't notice that mess sooner.
- Yeah, I mean, what can you even say about this?
My man clearly knows how to eat a Pringle.
I'm not sure why he needed this
Rube Goldberg vacuum cleaner Pringle dispenser device.
We've got a woman posing for an Instagram photo
and it kind of looks like they photoshopped
her into a goblin.
Don't let social media distort your view
of a realistic human body and don't commit
to unhealthy habits to try to meet those standards.
It's not possible.
