Cheap Thrills [SOUND]
[MUSIC]
>> What's up family?
It's your boy Nate aka @TabaskoSweet, and you're watching Cheap Thrills.
Just open your third eye and
then you'll realize you've already known what it is all along.
Your boy's just over here smudging my MF crystals and expelling all the haters.
You feel me?
Dark energy, we do not touch.
On some positive [BLEEP], thank you for going ham in the comments, and
voting for me in the virtual boyfriend contest.
Sorry, Will. >> [SOUND]
>> Put some clout on Will the God though,
he's the wokest [BLEEP] out there.
Speaking of legends coming out of Phili,
I've been hella inspired lately by Little Uzi Vert, The Goat.
I mean, he's been dropping some certified bops if you ask me.
Today, I'm gonna show you how to bless yourself with his signature links so
your neck too, can be on froze.
Brr!
So as the story goes, A$AP MOB co-signed onto Little Uzi's clout and
introduced him to Ben Baller, one of the most legendary jewelers in the game.
This fully iced out masterpiece, it was rumored to have cost 100 grand.
[SOUND] That's racks on racks, family.
Ben Baller even tweeted that he considers this chain
to be the best one he's ever made in his entire career.
Very clean.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but your boy is just not breaded like that, yet.
So let's get it, family.
Let's cop that ice without paying the price.
So here's what you're gonna need, some soda can pull-tabs,
colored rhinestones, a pair of pliers, oven-baked clay,
[NOISE] some small jewelry rings and a clasp, and some super glue.
We're going to start out by bedazzling these pull-tabs to make the iced out links
for our chain.
As you can see, your boy's been hard at work harvesting his cans.
I do it for you, family.
Pro tip, lay out your pull-tabs on a piece of tape, keep everything steady.
[MUSIC]
You're going to wanna apply a little bit of superglue and
then swoop in with your gems one at a time before it all dries.
[MUSIC]
Pro tip number two, borrow some of your mom's tweezers for maximum precision.
[MUSIC]
You can use whatever colors you want, but I'm basing mine off the real thing and
doing a different color for each pull tab.
[MUSIC]
I got ice, baby.
[BLEEP] your jeweler.
Dripping.
Once you have the front side of the tab all blinged out, repeat the process with
all the other colors, until you have enough tabs to go over your head.
[MUSIC]
Very clean.
So a lot of you have been throwing shade at me in the comments
about swapping out for more completed products.
What? Do you think
Martha Stewart bakes the whole pie in front of you?
So, today, your boy's coming clean.
I pre-made all these, big deal.
You wanna see me do it in real time, let's talk about a live stream.
So let's move these aside and starting working on our pendant.
The pendant is based on the artwork for Lil Uzi's album, Lil Uzi Versus The World.
Now if you're on that nerd tip like your boy,
you know that this design took heavy inspo for Scott Pilgrim comics.
Shout out Bryan Lee O'Malley.
Gang gang.
For this part, we're gonna take our oven bake clay and
flatten it out on our work surface.
Roll out.
I'm gonna use a spray can as an improvised rolling pin.
That's right, ghetto Martha Stewart.
I'm back on my [BLEEP].
[MUSIC]
Tight, looking nice and flat.
Shout out white girl booties.
Now we're gonna cut out the silhouette of cartoon Lil Uzi with Shorty lounging on
his nog.
[SOUND] >> Don't sweat it family.
This design is super simple.
Now he's always sporting this thing.
So you can totally peep his Gram if you need the reference, but as always,
your boy's kicking it from the dome.
[MUSIC]
Very clean.
Make sure to add a little loop of wire on the top before you bake this to make sure
you can attach it to your wings.
All right, now we're gonna pop this Lil Uzi into the oven.
As always, 420 degrees for about 10 minutes.
[MUSIC]
[SOUND] >> Cheap Thrills.
>> All right, it's ready family.
Let's check it out.
[MUSIC]
Make sure to use a spatula, you don't wanna burn yourself.
Like I always say,
real ones only burn Backwoods. >> [COUGH]
[MUSIC]
This is looking very clean.
[MUSIC]
After it's cooled off for a couple of minutes,
it's time to lay down a base coat with our silver spray paint.
[MUSIC]
Make sure you get the sides, and when it's dry, repeat on the back.
[MUSIC]
Now that our paint's dry, we're gonna draw the shapes with permanent marker.
[MUSIC]
Don't worry family this drawing is so easy my dog Bogo can do it.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
Tight, now we're gonna repeat the same process we did with the pull tabs,
by adding a little superglue, and putting in the rhinestones with our tweezers.
Now the colors that you're gonna be using are purple for
the hair, silver for the shirt, and Lil Uzi brown for the skin.
Shorty's shorts should be blue, her shirt should be pink, and
her skin the same as Uzi's.
Now these details could make or break your piece.
Now this is very painstaking and meticulous work.
Keep the CBD on deck.
Keep a steady mind and a steady hand.
[MUSIC]
Whoo, I think I just burned my hand, family.
Cuz this is some serious heat.
Now we're gonna start stringing the pull tabs together using our jewelry rings.
You can cop these at pretty much any craft store.
And while it would be easier to use wire,
these will make your piece look a lot more legit.
Now I'm opening up the ring very carefully with my pliers.
And once you have the ring open, just slide in two different colored links and
close it back up.
Just keep going until your rig is slammed to your liking.
[MUSIC]
All right family, we've linked and we've built.
Now it's time to finish this bad boy off with our clasp and our pendant.
Now count out all your tabs and
make sure you attach your pendant to the one that's in the middle.
Just like with the jewelry rings, go ahead and tighten this up with your pliers.
And there you have it, family.
Damn, I was trying to feel like Lil Uzi, but
here I am feeling like Ben Baller, your boy Tabasko the jeweler.
[SOUND]
