Hey guys!
We're going to custom paint a Hydro Flask today.
[MUSIC]
So you guys have probably seen these videos trending by now.
I thought it would be really fun, because this is a
way to encourage people to be environmentally friendly,
Reuse their cups and whatnot...
Alright, hold up a second.
if you're my mom and you're watching this...
Click away.
Don't watch any further, okay?
Thanks.
This is gonna be a Christmas present for my mom
I'm going to decorate it with stuff she likes
because she really likes having cold liquid.
She loves reusable cups and stuff.
So I thought this would be a really cool idea for her.
[MUSIC]
All right now that we're caffeinated...
Hydro Flask!
What are we gonna do with this thing? Hmm...
So I did something similar with Starbucks cups in a recent video,
and I customized them with Posca Pens.
And this one was my favorite
so I want to do a gradient effect similar to this,
but not the same thing.
I think we'll do this combination.
Here goes. Here goes.
Wait, I should shake this for luck, right?
[MUSIC]
Alrighty... we're done!
No, I'm just kidding.
We're just getting started.
Let's... let's keep going.
Alright, we're moving on to the next color
I'm going to block in all the stripes,
and then blend it after
Everything is blocked in.
So it might look janky at first, but bear with me.
Ohh, that sound... so satisfying, right?
[MUSIC]
Okay, this layer is almost dry so time to just keep going
I'm excited to show you guys that what's gonna
go over top of all these stripes...
because it's not just gonna be a gradient.
There's something really really cool coming.
So, stick around for that...
Because there's gonna be a little twist soon, you know?
Alright, let's use this pink marker next
[MUSIC]
My oh my...
This is time-consuming.
I didn't think it would take this long.
Ok question of the day.
What kind of drinking apparatus do you use when you leave your house?
Do you use something reusable,
or do you use a plastic water bottle?
I used like a tumbler with an aluminum straw
but
My husband banned it from the car,
because it rattles every time you go over a bump.
You know what I'm talking about?
Potholes in Ohio!
Okay, it's time to blend out this bad boy!
I'm taking smaller markers, and this is what I'm doing
very similar
to
The Starbucks cups I did.
I think it's time we added some
tropical flair to this baby!
Heughhh, make sure this
Marker is clean.
Okay
Don't know what I used with it last,
but it wasn't very clean.
Boy does it make me nervous to freehand this or what?!
I just poured my heart into this gradient
[MUSIC]
Noooo!
NOOOOO!
*whispers* NoOoOo!
*whispers* I accidentally touched it!
Now I have to redo that part...
Okay, I fixed
Fixed a lot of it.
I accidentally touched it.
Go me..
Figures. *chuckles*
Oh boy.
I have to let that area dry a little more.
I'll go over it again,
Don't you worry!
[MUSIC]
Well, we are saving this leaf, it's finally looking better.
All right... approaching with caution,
because this is still wet
and I have smeared it with my hand so
many times now.
I'm gonna lose my cool.
So I have four leaves going around it,
and my question -
Do you think I should do...
Gold outlines and leaves, so when you turn it, it kind of shines?
Can you won't even tell how metallic that is?
I don't know -- the camera isn't doing it much justice
Wish there was a better way to hold this.
It's an awkward object to
Do art with.
But... whatever.
Okay. The first thing I'm gonna do...
is play it safe and do an outline...
Around this Hydro Flask logo.
Just to see
if I should do it around all the leaves, you know?
It would kind of stuck if I didn't like it,
and then I
Already did one leaf or something.
I just don't trust this.
*obnoxious gasp*
Why are we whispering?
Do you guys ever like whisper when you get nervous?
Or no, here's a kicker, okay...
Do you guys ever like purposely...
whisper as a social experiment
just to see who else joins in on whispering?
And then people are like...
Why are we whispering?
I like to do that sometimes
just to, you know, see what happens.
Can you tell is that metallic on here? I don't know...
This is a tough decision...
See, purple would blend in with the bottom...
Is that such a bad thing?
Eh, I don't know!
Or red...
I just -- I think purple would look really good.
[MUSIC]
Alright, let's seal this baby in with some varnish and call it a day.
This is what it is right here.
I don't actually have
the spray sealant, and I know that would be better to use
But look, your girls on a budget.
She's gonna use what she has!
[MUSIC]
This is so satisfying.
It really makes the colors look more saturated.
I love it!
Just gonna awkwardly hold this until it dries...
Dude, I gotta show you some genius stuff...
You see it back there?! LOL
Yes! Life hacks!
That little hook on my pegboard
Suspends this perfectly.
Oh, yeah, baby, you can dry now!
[MUSIC]
That concludes
the Hydro Flask!
Really excited about how this turned out!
I was a little nervous at first,
because the Posca Pen was scuffing really easily.
But off-camera,
I actually did like two layers of everything.
And that solved the problem really fast.
After I had the second layer.
And then, yeah... I varnished it and
It's all sealed in now. We're good everything is...
Hopefully good.
I'm really excited to give this to my mom for Christmas.
She lives in Florida, and she loves plants and
Pink and all things tropical.
So this is like screaming her personality right here!
