♪ (techno intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today's REACT Challenge is all about TikTok,
but it's about DIYs, are you into watching
the Do-It-Yourself TikTokers at all?
- Oh, DIYs!
I was like TikTok, heck yeah!
DIYs, mmm, not so much. (laughs)
A good DIYer's like consistent and creative.
Sometimes they'll follow the directions,
and then they'll add more to it.
- Look, I will watch any DIY craft.
Now, the execution part on my end,
I plead the fifth.
I am a good DIYer, it's when I actually put forth
the effort to DIY. (laughs)
- (FBE) The whole purpose of the DIY world
is that you get to find neat crafty ways
to basically do for yourself services that you would typically
pay other people to do.
- Like, if there's a product that I can like buy
instead of making it, I'll go that route instead.
- Dollar Tree, I love Dollar Tree!
- Okay.
- Oh, that's really creative.
- It was kind of easy, and it's not a bunch of stuff,
and then you can use it like a bunch of times.
That was good.
- I like that, because it's the, I've only seen the one
where they take the hot glue gun and they glue the candle holder,
or whatever, and you know, it's a lot,
but that was just so... Command strips.
And it already, and it sits up for you, so I can?
- I'm trying to think what, 'cause I don't have earrings,
I don't have jewelry like that, not yet,
so I'm trying to think what would I do for that?
Nothing comes to mind for myself,
but this is pretty cool.
- See, what's funny is that a couple weeks ago,
I literally went out to buy one of the things
to hold all my jewelry, but I could've just made it.
- (Narrator) Here's a little Dollar Tree DIY
that's super renter friendly.
- I don't know where this is gonna go yet.
- (Narrator) Then pick out a paint color.
- I love how she's painting on her counters with like nothing.
- (Narrator) I get the sample sizes, because they're super cheap
and they last me forever for little projects like this.
- Ooh, love that.
- (Narrator) ...glossy too if you wanted.
Then I filled in the cracks with white paint.
- Yes, this one's more valid than the last one.
Gotta add flavor. I love this.
- Okay, so creative!
Look at these people, this could not be me.
I just don't have the patience.
Oh, she's redoing her kitchen? (gasps)
- (Narrator) Absolutely loved how it turned out,
and this is a great option for renters.
- That looks kinda like real brick.
Well not necessarily, but somewhat.
- Okay, when she started painting them,
I knew whatever section she was doing
could not be very big.
She did the white in between, ah, that's where she lost me.
Do you know how long that would take to paint each one?
- Like, that could be so expensive,
and she literally used stuff from the dollar store
and made it look so nice.
- Even she said like oh, I just had this laying around,
and like, I made this DIY.
Like that was cute, I liked that one,
and then I think it was really cute,
and added like a pop to the whole kitchen, yeah.
- Not only would I not be able to come up with that,
I just don't think it would look good.
I feel like I would maybe like spill some paint.
I guess I'm like too spoiled, and I buy stuff
instead of making it myself.
- Doing my nails only using things from Dollar Tree.
Okay, I think I've seen this.
Okay.
Oh, eye shadow, I'm not sure if I've seen this one, then.
- (Narrator) I've had these nails for a while,
but I got them from the Dollar Tree.
- Off the jump, I don't know how I feel about this.
Maybe she'll prove me wrong,
I don't know how I feel about this one though.
- (Narrator) As you can already tell, these nail tips are very short.
So I'm just gonna stack 'em on up like this,
and make 'em long.
Have a little curve in it, which I'm not too excited about,
but I'll make it work.
See the little curve on the side?
Ugh, and I'm gonna take some glue, drench my nail in glue.
- Oh, the corn starch nails. Oh Lord.
- (Narrator) Oh yeah, I forgot.
Go pick up you some glue at the dollar store too.
I forgot to say that.
Filing took me so long, but we got a perfect shape.
Look at that.
Now we're gonna make our nail polish.
Now, I'm gonna slap some pink eye shadow into this bowl.
- Oh wow, those are some long nails.
- (Narrator) Slap it on nail.
Ain't too happy about the curve, but everything else is kinda cute.
- I didn't know how it was gonna go,
I saw like the corn starch and all that stuff.
I was a little nervous.
- You know what I love about these DIYs?
Specifically nails, I love how they show themself doing the left hand.
'Cause I'm like let me see you do that right.
(laughs) Let me see you do that right.
- The dollar store, I'm pretty sure has nail polish,
and she did the extra work to crush up some extra color. (laughs)
- Maybe the eye shadow was cheaper,
but I don't know the differences between like how expensive nail polish
and eye shadow is and all that.
- I think this is okay.
This is like equivalent to, you know, cutting your own hair
and doing stuff like that.
You're not doing it to impress anybody,
you're just doing it to afford to look decent.
- $4 Dollar Tree DIY, Boho chic end table.
Oh, a table!
- Wait, that's actually good!
- I don't think I would have the patience for this one,
but I do like it.
- It's cool because if you wanted to match a certain aesthetic
of like, your apartment for whatever, you could easily do that
and he got it at the Dollar Tree.
It couldn't have cost too much money.
- If I saw that, I wouldn't be like oh, she made that herself.
Like, it looked like something that you would buy.
- Honestly, I will say that looks like something
Urban Outfitters would sell for like $150.
- I can't even say nothing. I can't, that was like...
I mean, the rope might have been the most expensive thing there.
- (Narrator) I found round Styrofoam at the Dollar Tree,
and had an idea to make a rose bear.
I found tiny roses on Amazon.
I should have read reviews first, because they smelled like [censored],
and I found someone's black hair inside.
- I know what she's gonna do, okay.
She's gonna make those bears that people sell
for like hundreds of dollars again.
- (Narrator) Okay, coming up, cute so far, time to add roses.
- Oh, I've seen these.
- (Narrator) Then comes the hot glue
where I burn the [censored] out of myself and ruined my nails.
(Jair laughs)
Does it even look like a bear?
It just looks like a [censored] rock to me.
Oh, I forgot to make ears and I ran out of roses.
I took some from his belly and added a big rose to fill the space.
- Oh my gosh, that's cute!
- Okay, I think that the ears made it a little bit better,
but girl no, that is not a bear, and she knows it.
- Even in the video, she said it looked like [censored],
so I mean, it's not useful, it's not practical.
It didn't really look that good in my opinion.
- It was the thought that counts.
Now somebody else is gonna do this 10 times better,
but she showed us how to do it.
- I don't think the work that she put into that was worth it.
I like this one.
Again, doesn't apply to me, but I like this one.
- Okay, this looks easy.
- Oh, and she's gonna jazz it up.
- With all my makeup, like brushes and stuff,
that would be perfect!
- I think that was super cute and super easy.
- You know, it's a little like ugh, do I wanna spend this money?
Is it really necessary, is it really needed,
or you could just make your own, customize it,
and it still just do the exact same thing.
- (FBE) Well good, today is your lucky day.
You get to build one of these yourself.
- Hey, alright!
- Oh my God! (squeaks) Yes!
- Maybe I can have like a crafty breakthrough.
- I'm gonna just pretend I know what I'm doing.
Why am I struggling?
- Okay, so these little thing-ma-jig-jigs.
I don't know if it matters where you put 'em?
- I'm feeling confident. I think this... (laughs)
- There we go, okay, wow.
- Okay, now I have my little diamonds, my little...
- Does this, do we have, do I have scissors, or no?
- So, I have scissors here, so I'm gonna use them.
Give that, oh my gosh.
It's fine, it's fine.
It's fine.
- God, who did you have in here that ripped this?
- Wow, this is fun!
- And if I had more time, I would put it around here too.
- No, it's not, okay.
We are gonna use the whole thing.
- Okay, now this is sticky.
I don't want it to be like tape or whatever,
or a Band-Aid, where it starts sticking to each other,
and I can't pull it apart.
I am so proud of my project.
