hi everybody i spent all of yesterday looking for the most ridiculous
dumbest art hacks that i could find from 2021 today i am going to test them out
and see how well they work alright so for this very first art hack this is one of those art hacks
that i'm just like there's no way this is gonna work right and even in the hypothetical sense of
this actually working why would you even do this in the first place this hack is from the video
titled awesome school hacks and diys everyone should know it came out three weeks ago and it
has a whopping whopping 6.9 million views and this is from the youtube channel five minute crafts
so yeah as you just saw they basically ran out of an eraser on a pencil and instead of
doing the easier option which i imagine would be to put a pencil topper on a pencil instead
they did something that was so much more extra and so much more work they got a hot glue gun
melted it into a little poop shape and supposedly that acts as an eraser
supposedly now for this very first art hack as always when i do these kind of videos there's
always comments that are like well you should have done this extra step you should have done this you
should have bought this if you wanted to do it right you were supposed to get this but you guys
have to remember the average person doesn't have a youtube channel with 1.7 million subscribers and
people telling them what to do and with these life hack channels a lot of the time they're very vague
with instructions so because of those two things i am going to do it exactly as they show
i'm not gonna look for any outside sources on like how to do it correctly i'm only gonna do
what the life hack people show to do for this art hack all you do is get a glue gun
and i'm just gonna leave the eraser on because i think it'll be easier to make
that little poop thing than trying to take it off and build it from scratch you know
so now that it's mostly dry let's see if this works
why is this actually working
so it is working like it is erasing the pencil but because i have to create friction to erase
it it like gets hot rubbing against the paper and now i have random hot glue on my paper
look at this it's just like little tiny bits of glue that are like stuck to the paper which is
kind of ironic because an eraser clears the page but this eraser actually adds to the page so yeah
because it does work but at the same time it also doesn't work i'm gonna give this one a solid five
alright so for this next art hack this video is called cool art tricks and drawing hacks easy
and cool art hacks by one two three go this video came out september 26th of this year
and as of right now it has a grand total of 28 million views now one two three go they
are definitely catered more towards like children's content and the reason that i'm
bringing it up that it's centered around children is because this hack is centered around a toy
i have so many questions first of all if you don't have a paint palette i'm to give you
some solutions of what you could use you could use a plate cardboard the water repellent piece
of plastic you can use glass and scrape it off you can use a mirror and scrape it off
i mean there's so many things around the house that you could use as a palette that would
work infinitely better than a fidget toy and my second question is is when they pop the little
poppy i don't know what to call it but the little pop in the toy
it made such perfect uniform circles and they only showed it for like literally half a second in the
video and usually with these youtube channels if they show the after for only like 0.2 of a second
that usually means it's a red flag because they're trying not to like make it too obvious that they
like faked it or something you know so let's see if it works first of all i just want to say that i
never got these things these little pop things i never understood it i never got it but now
that it's in my hands and i can see how satisfying this thing is i'm never putting this thing down i
don't know why i'm paying for therapy this thing is like the best stress relief in the world
but anyway the first step of this art hack is to fill this thing up with paint
all right all i'm going to do for this art hack is just literally
place it on and then all i'm gonna do is pop it
all right moment of truth
um i don't really know how i feel about this because
it did exactly what it was supposed to do which is like outline this pop
thing i don't know why you'd want to but it works in real life it seems that it's
a lot less perfect than what they showed i would rate this one maybe a seven out of ten
and as far as this little pop thing goes i'm gonna rate this a thousand
out of ten because this is literally the best thing i've ever spent money on
now for this next art hack i kinda gotta give it to him we stan a recycling queen this is
from five minute craft this video came out six days ago and already it has a million views
see i don't really mind that one because if somebody was to ever recreate the hack they
would basically be reusing an old deodorant bottle which i think that's good to try to reuse instead
of just like straight up you know throw it away or whatever so i like that about this one now
i don't know if you guys know this but one two three go they're not based in the united states
and the reason i'm telling you that the reason it's important is because that specific brand of
deodorant is not available in my area i mean maybe they have it somewhere like
on amazon or something but as far as like my local walmart and target goes
this is the best we're gonna get and i don't really know how to take this
off without damaging it so i'm gonna have to get creative in what i'm doing
oh
so basically what i did is i replaced it with very
concentrated watercolor water so let's see how well this thing works
okay it looks exactly how she showed the first time
which is kind of a hot mess but i want to try to get it to how they showed on the
video where it was like perfect you know so let me try to write my name
so in order to get it straight like this you basically have to hold it completely
straight like you can't turn it like a pencil or else that'll mess it up and
whenever you're doing this this thing is like blocking your field of view and you
have to go over it a couple of times to like make sure enough comes out
okay yeah that's the absolute best you're gonna get out of me but as far as an art hack goes i
would rate this one because it does work i would say this one's like a eight out of ten
now for this next art hack this video again is from our bestie five minute crafts it came out
two months ago and it has about 300k views and out of all the art hacks today this one is probably
and this is saying a lot but this one is probably the worst this hack is basically
how to make your paint edible and it's just done in like the weirdest way possible
no t no shade but i mean i'm very deeply concerned about the consistency of that paint
i guess i just don't understand if you want to make paint from like stuff that you have in your
kitchen there is like infinite spices that you can make that are completely edible and actually work
like a true paint there's so many better options that are probably cheaper and easier to use than
now for this hack i'm not gonna lie i'm a little concerned because they don't give
exact measurements or anything like that so basically i'm just gonna have to end up winging it
oh this looks so incredibly unappetizing oh my god in fact that's probably the actual
life hack is make something that looks so incredibly unappetizing that nobody in the
world will eat it and it'll solve the problem of your little kid eating paint
wow okay let's try it out
wow
truly innovative i just want to say real quick that all of roseart crazy art all of their stuff
i'm not saying to eat it obviously but i'm saying that all of it is non-toxic because they make
it for kids and not only that but it also washes off clothes skin whatever they come in like their
own little packaging so you can store them reuse them whatever and of course these are actual real
paints that actually work so knowing all of that knowledge about these little plastic paint cups
compared to making your own diy paint that will stain because it is food coloring i mean
yeah no this is going to be a hard hard zero out of ten now for this next art hack i just want
everybody to just take a second appreciate my nose contour because days that i film
i work very hard on my makeup but this art hack is going to completely erase my nose contour
usually with these art hacks there's like a half truth and like it kind of works it kind
of doesn't work usually there's no point to it other than entertaining your kids but this one
has none of that this video came out two weeks ago it's by one two go and it has 250 000 views
don't
i'm done i'm done okay so for this art hack i'm literally just gonna dip my nose into paint i
don't even know how to i don't even know how to like get my net like i can't tell where my nose is
oh god i'm spilling it oh my god this is horrible why would they do this okay
oh my god it's actually working fire
like it's doing exactly what it needs to be doing which is making perfectly circular um circles
i feel like this is working really good maybe because like my nose is really round or something
i don't know but some of these circles are like perfect like look at that circle that
is literally the most perfect circle i've ever made i'm not gonna lie this is really dumb to
do you know but this is actually working really well like uncomfortably well but i'm not gonna
hate too hard because it literally worked and some of the circles are straight fire
so as silly as this art hack is i'm gonna actually rate this a nine out of ten
now for this very final art hack this one actually isn't an art hack at all this video is from the og
life hack channel troom troom i feel like that's a name we haven't heard in a while to be fair this
video was made a little bit over a year ago so it's not technically in the 2021 category it's a
little bit over but yeah check out this thumbnail to be quite fair it looks very self-explanatory
you get some glitter paint you put it in your hair you brush it through and bada bing bada boom
you have galaxy hair and if you watch the actual hack that the thumbnail is supposed to represent
i don't know it's kind of weird because like she gets like a paintbrush with like a cup of
slime and then she like measures out the slime on the girl's head and then the scene cuts to
her with like a hair extension that's completely different from the green slime truly off the rails
i have no idea what's going on the hack that's on the thumbnail it's nowhere to be seen okay
and unlike shroom troom i'm not gonna deceive you guys so for the final hack i'm going to actually
replicate one of their thumbnails and basically try to achieve that exact look with my hair
so for this hack there is something that you guys need to know about and i'm sure you already could
tell if you made it this long through a video but uh my hair is actually already the color of
the thumbnail like pink purple and blue so because of that i'm actually gonna do this side of my hair
that is still black and for the paints in order to get this like galaxy design which they show
i'm gonna use these same super washable rose art colors and besides the reason i'm choosing
to do this thumbnail is because i really want to show everybody like just how truly
ridiculous some of these like super click baity videos are i was super disappointed
that they didn't actually have the thumbnail in the video at all but that's not the case here
we're not gonna do that all right so we're just gonna absolutely just go for it so here we go
is it on oh god it's on wow that's actually like super super vibrant in my hair
see this is taking only like five minutes i don't know why they couldn't have just
done this in the thumbnail instead of have to like photoshop it you know
and by the way like i don't know what they were going for were they trying to be like
funny were they trying to be shocking like in what world is hair dye shocking
yeah i actually hate this since i'm already doing it why not i'll do some on this side too
i'm actually terrified to brush it like how they did because it's like basically going to disappear
and mix the paint oh my god it looks actually looks just like the thumbnail like the comb works
look so yeah as far as like recreating this thumbnail and how well this hack works
it looks nothing like they showed but i'm gonna have to give this one like a two out of ten
and just like that there you go those are the dumbest art hacks that i could find this year
if you want to see more art hacks i will leave a playlist right here you guys have
given me such a wonderful year and i hope you guys are ready because i got a lot of
things planned up for the new year and with that being said i hope you guys
have a wonderful and safe new year and i will see you guys in 2022 bye
