pop it twist it smack it
today i'm going to be painting on some poppets for those of you that don't know poppets are
basically like bubble wrap that you can pop endlessly it's a super addicting fidget toy
that you can't stop popping no matter how hard you try no matter how hard you try i really
wanted one i went to four different targets i don't even think walmart carries them and when
i thought i lost all hope i stumbled into a five below retreating into the my little pony section
when i happened to run into a whole bin of poppets
five below was on top of it i didn't expect them to be but they've been really coming in clutch
thanks five blow the only problem is my five below only had sparkle bud puppets they're not very
definitely not something you'd run into on the dark side i got an ugly flower
and the dumb heart keychain
but it's fine it's fine beggars can't be choosers i'm just happy i could find some puppets
i also did find this octagon honeycomb looking one which was the coolest out of the three in
my opinion i've never customized a poppet before so i'll be trying a couple different methods and
things you'll see first things first i'll be drawing an evil b on some paper this bee has
a unibrow that was inspired by germany vasquez i figured since it's a honeycomb shape it would
be cool to have a bunch of little bees inside just chilling but i didn't want it to all be swarmed by
bees that's a little boring so i also added some splatters of honey here and there another thing
you might find in a honeycomb is buttercup so he's making a guest appearance as well wherever honey
goes buttercup follows so anyways once i was done drawing those i took a picture and transferred
those onto my computer and then i printed them out on some tattoo paper i'll be tattooing these onto
the honeycomb poppet i made them all microscopic like 1 4 of an inch hopefully you'll still be able
to tell what they are they'll just be so crazy tiny that it'll be hard to see them or distinguish
them from one another i didn't know how many to print so i just printed a couple thousand
and then i thought they were too tiny so i went back and made them slightly bigger and
printed a couple thousand more these are just my test prints i didn't print them out on the
actual tattoo paper yet i wanted to make sure i was happy with the size and everything first
after printing on the tattoo paper i had to stick on a sticky adhesive paper on top of it to help
with that whole situation i pulled out a comb it's all i could really find on hand to help with
smoothing out the adhesive paper i'm just trying to make do with what i have i didn't manage to
get the sticky paper completely centered but it's okay because i got enough of them onto it i have
plenty to work with plus a couple extra once i did that i applied some pressure to really stick the
adhesive sheet onto the printed images you really want to make sure it's stuck on there so again i
used whatever tools i had on hand which happened to be a paint bottle then i went through and cut
each individual one for the poppet bubbles i tried to cut it as close as possible because there is
a little bit of a transparent film around it it doesn't bother me too much it's not really that
noticeable i just wanted to cut it real close i do have some extra little temporary tattoos of a
unibrowbee buttercup and honeysplotches so if you ever need one of those ulrbabe has a whole stash
of them so anyways then i kinda randomly stuck em on it works just like a regular temporary
tattoo you take off the clear film and dab the paper on with a damp towel and voila
simple enough but there's a whole lot more bubbles to do so i just have to repeat the process for
each one you have to try and keep it as centered and flat as possible it's a little annoying and
it takes a lot of patience but i think it's worth it so basically in this honeycomb there's a bunch
of bees and honey and buttercup is running around through the beehive trying to get the honey while
avoiding the giant unibrow bees i say giant even though they look tiny just because they're
literally the same size as buttercup drawings are not to scale this took a really long time to do
a whole lot longer than i planned or expected so then i moved on to the heart poppet and because
it's a heart shape i thought it would be cool to paint things that i love on it these are silicone
poppets i think all poppets might be silicone i read online that you can try prepping the surface
by wiping it down with acetone and sanding it so i started off by prepping my poppet's base
it's kinda hard to sand these but i tried sanding each bubble as best as i could these
aren't really supposed to be painted on but we don't follow rules here on the dark side
after sanding it down i went over it with some clear gesso because i read that also helps prep
silicone surfaces i'm just trying a little bit of everything hopefully something works and now that
all the prep work is out of the way i can finally start painting so i have this multi-surface paint
it's the white paint that i'm using here it's made for like glass and smooth surfaces like this
so i decided to try it out and it seems to work decently well i don't have a large collection of
multi-surface paint i just have black and white i'm using the white mora as a base layer for
the pasta pens to stick to on this poppet if you have any idea or you've heard of what best works
on silicone definitely let me know like i said i'm no expert i just wanted to customize some poppets
so most of these are junk food that's what i love junk food candy and burgers and donuts and cookies
you guys already know these are my deepest darkest desires i mostly went for a fast food kind of look
the red kinda reminds me of mcdonald's so i just ran with it some people think mcdonald's tastes
gross not me i don't want to hear it if you're new here and you've ever heard of a mcdonald's
before you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel
and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new videos every friday
these are going to be mcdonald's fries most of them are foods this one's going to be an actual
little raw chicken uncooked or unslaughtered i guess i should say i didn't know if a chicken
wing would be as recognizable and i thought a chick-fil-a chicken sandwich would look
too close to a burger obviously i don't just pick up a living chicken and start eating it
obviously evil has its standards they're low but we still have them this swirly little swirl
is supposed to be the top of a lollipop i guess most lollipops don't actually look like that in
real life but this is the general representation of them just go with it i don't have much of a
sweet tooth but the few sweet things i put on here are some of my favorites especially krispy kreme
donuts i love donuts as you may have noticed anyways here's some of the things i love most
donuts pizzas cookies burgers chickens fries and lollipops and gobstoppers and jolly ranchers so
next up is this flower poppet and to make matters worse it's like a hot pink color
but it's fine i'll try to make it work i started off by prepping the surface again with acetone
and my old friend sanding block just doing anything and everything it says online really
hoping to make this work i really honestly don't know if any of this is gonna make any difference
but i'm doing it anyway i'm using my black multi-surface paint for this puppet i also
tried some regular white acrylic paint just to test things out see if it works
that didn't really stick on at all it just kind of peeled off so that's clearly a no-go
just gonna rub that off i'm gonna stick to the multi-surface paint for now i think black's
a good color it helps cover up some of that hot pink mess makes it look less blinding and sparkle
i did blow dry in between coats of paint to speed up the drying process so my idea for this poppet
is to draw a bunch of creepy funny faces you might recognize some of these faces others are just kind
of random they're not super neat these poppet bubbles are like smaller than my fingernail so
it's hard to be really precise on them but i tried my best this idea was simpler in my head not quite
as easy to bring to life i have seen slightly bigger puppets which i do want to order off amazon
but i don't have prime so they wouldn't have gotten here in time for this video hence my last
minute run to five blow i mostly used white black and pink posca pens and just touch things up as i
went there's a lot of blacks and pinks to me it's kind of giving off like an emo punk rock avril
lavigne type vibe and because it's not a flat surface these bubbles made it very hard to be neat
so i just took an x-acto knife and scraped off the paint poops as best as i could after everything
was said and done i went over the poppets with some clear varnish just to try and seal everything
in i don't know if this is what you're supposed to do there's not a ton of information out there
on how to work on silicone surfaces specifically puppets so yeah just figuring things out as i go
oh
wash it down the toilet
oops i got carried away click on the top right or bottom
