hi i'm back now originally this video was gonna be another tiktok art hack video with
my friend chloe she did one i was gonna do one we were gonna have a cute little
tiktok art hack moment together i'm currently sanitizing a bag of
rocks how's your week going but once i actually started watching tiktok's
art hacks a mass majority of them were actually useful actually helpful and basically not what
i wanted where's the drama where's the flavor and immediately i knew there was only one place that
i could turn to for the weirdest strangest most unexpected life hacks pretty much on the internet
now if you're not familiar with the absolute behemoth that is five minute crafts let me
catch you up they're what's called a content farm meaning that they're a company not an
individual person who films a bunch of life hacks sometimes they're real sometimes they're
fake as you're about to see and once they get the footage of their life hacks they'll
basically just keep reusing bits and pieces of it over and over again to make a new video or
they'll get one hack and like refilm it a bunch of times so it's different than the original one
i just spent the past two-ish hours looking at painting hacks from five-minute crafts
under the search bar and in that time frame i was able to find this exact hack
or something like it and i was able to find it 17 different times
in two hours and basically every single day on a span of multiple channels they upload a new video
every day and another strange thing that you'll see with five minute crafts is that they use
very strange and interesting thumbnails that have like literally nothing to do with the video
and of course as a result of these techniques they rake in billions upon billions of views
am i jealous a little bit so now that you know a little bit about five-minute crafts and how they
work i found some of the most absolute ridiculous art hacks that i could find and today i'm gonna
test them out see if they're real see if they're fake maybe debunk something so yeah with that
being said let's get started all right so the very first hack that we're gonna go through is
from a video called 29 awesome crafts with diy school supplies coming in at 6 million views
okay so basically we're gonna make nail polish out of crayons here we go now every
single time i do one of these craft videos the number one concern that i get is well
you're supposed to add this you're supposed to take this extra step but the average everyday
person following five minute crafts they're not going to have an audience to tell them
what to do so because of that i'm going to follow exactly exactly what the video shows
starting with the fact that the video doesn't show how much to put in so i'm just going to wing it
oh it's like coagulating it's not even mixing it's kind of turning into a blob. like all the nail
polish is balled up and it's kind of turned into like a hard random blue blob ok so now that it's
mostly all mixed up i'm gonna dip it in there alright so here we go
this is so weird it's like clumpy but at the same time it's like kind of warm it kind of stinks
yeah that is looking terrible oh my gosh this is okay um wow
okay so here's what they look like all done final result
look what it did to the brush it like completely covered it all in
hard crayon i guess so on a scale of one to ten of how much this actually
works and improves my life i'm gonna have to give this one a zero
i don't even know how to take it off now for this next one it definitely seems like
it's fancy editing tricks it's from a video called painting ideas everybody should try
and i want you to pay very close attention to the last like two seconds of the video
so if you didn't catch that luckily i have my own fancy editing techniques
right before the video ends just like in the last half second you can see the painting is
already completed and the artist is pretending to finish it with a sponge so right off the bat if
you have to fake a life hack that's a little red flag for me you know that's some alarms going off
i'm gonna put one thin line at a time on a completely dry sponge exactly as they showed
so here's what the sponge looks like i tried to get
it as even as possible exactly how they showed and i guess here we go
um so it kind of worked really well at first but as the paint progressed on the page it all
just kind of mixed together and it kind of looks like those Mexican blankets you know
let me try one more time because i have a feeling that this one really does work
but i'm just not too sure how it works you know
by the way this is like so much effort and it's like for what??? oh it's working
oh it's working
oh i am happy to say with a lot of concentration a lot of squeaking
a lot of carefully placed paint it actually does work maybe not as well
and not as clean but it works so yeah i'm gonna rate this one a 7 out of 10.
now for this next one i'm just like why it's from a video called 23 brilliant art ideas for everyone
i don't know i really don't know
okay so there's a lot to unpack with that one first of all she clearly used nail polish in
the beginning and then she added food coloring and then whenever they dipped it into the bowl
there was all these colors that weren't there originally and it was really thick like it was
acrylic paint or just pure nail polish not food coloring but to bring it back to my original point
why are you water marbling a banana?! now for this hack i would like to sincerely apologize
for these bananas i bought these brand new last week but then i got sick and went to the hospital
with an ulcer i'm fine now by the way and now at this point i just don't want to waste them
all right so here we go
not only is the food coloring like sinking to the bottom and not spreading out like how they showed
it's kind of reacting with the nail polish and it's kind of drying directly on top of it
oh my god this is not working at all what the frick
now that i've created whatever this is it's time to dip the banana so here we go
it absolutely did not turn it into a beautifully water marbled banana this looks like a banana
that's been rotting in the back of the cabinet for two months now oh my god as it's drying it's
only getting worse like what are those bubbles forming what is this who thought of this oh my god
now for this next one it's a little gnarly i'm not gonna lie especially if you know my extreme
dislike of eggs oh god i hate eggs i hate eggs so much bleh! and this video is called painting
tutorials for beginners simple art techniques and drawing tricks to create a masterpiece
i feel like that one's pretty straightforward get an egg empty it out fill it with
paint throw it at a canvas so if i was to do this art hack literally any other time of the
year i would have to use real eggs but luckily it's around easter time and i don't know if
this is my region or if it's everywhere in the united states but they sell these confetti eggs
and all i have to do is literally just inject paint into them
all right so we're outside if you can't tell and here's my professional setup i'm only going to be
about four feet away from the canvas because i feel like that's good enough so here we go
let me try another one
oh they're literally not breaking nope okay last one
this next one is so crazy i absolutely refuse to believe that this one will work
and not just that that it's not dangerous like it won't poke somebody's eye out
you know this is from a video called 33 awesome drawing hacks to draw like a pro
bruva!! in what world? in what world! if you didn't catch that the fancy editing when she
put the piece of paper to trace on the person's face you can clearly see where it crumpled and
then in the next scene it was like perfectly smooth brand new something ain't right here
so for this next art hack i'm gonna need another person to film with
so i brought my friend Tevyn who you've seen many times on my channel right three
times Tevyn has no idea what we're gonna do so i'm gonna live react him to the the hack
get this nonsense out of my face by the way we're like in the parking lot of a
restaurant right now ...a restaurant??? it's a sonic chill out i'm just gonna
let me just hold it down okay hold it up let me hold the paper okay can you breathe
okay pull it out wow that actually kind of worked i feel
i feel like
i feel like it worked oh my god that looks like um what is that mask from texas chainsaw massacre
leather face? you think i look like leather face?!
wait let me sketch you that's how it really went down okay
you ready for this i'm ready wow i like the eyebrow i like the eyebrows
i feel like those really do look like my lips though why is she acting like this is good
all right thank you Tevyn for being on my channel you're welcome
now as always when i do these videos i save the absolute best for last
this one is from a video that we had mentioned earlier and when
i saw this i literally could not believe this was a hack here it is
when i saw this my mouth dropped because i just could not believe
this is a hack i just refuse to believe that this is real you know and by the way this is
all washable paint completely biodegradable it'll go away with some water so here we go
all right so the paint is laid on very thickly and i'm just going to pick it up
how many times should i spin it just like the one
anyway guys thank you so much again for watching i will leave my other hack videos down below if you
want to see more let me know and with that being said i will see you guys next video!
