HELLO FRIENDS!! the stream has been released from contentID jail by 5 minute crafts!! hope you guys enjoy it, and a quick note -- there was a small miscommunication between me and carly about the heat gun vs the blow torch for the candle hack -- i meant heat gun lol, which we kind of figured out live on the stream. so, please disregard that bit. anyway, hope you guys have a great week and we'll see you next week on *monday* for our monday xmas tree decorating stream!! xoxo, saf
Yay!! I missed the last bit of the live stream and was disappointed it was in Content ID jail, so I am so happy it is back up so quickly so I can finish watching it
I saw the main channel video before this one :o Loved it. You guys work really hard, and it’s okay if Safiya doesn’t show much emotion for Crusty, she is a professional, and sometimes it isn’t sad until they’re nearing the end. More seriously nearing the end. Like days left. Love the BM updates. Ha ha. When a pet is old or sick the simple things matter. Crusty is like Salem. Pet Sematary. Crust Sematary. Pet Crustmatary.
I'm glad the stream was able to go back up! I was trying to watch it last night as part of my routine since I can't find time to join it when it's live, and when I saw it was removed, all I could think was "Oh no, they imprisoned the video like last time!"
I think we can concretely say... concrete hacks would be neat! Also, I don't think y'all are being callous at all about Crusty. He's over 100 years old in human years and it is so obviously clear how much y'all love him and care about him and are doing your absolute best to make sure he's happy and comfortable for his final moments. You're allowed to cope or grieve in whatever way works for you!
I concur that concreate hacks would be neat. I made a 3-legged stool once with concrete. It was pretty easy, but took multiple days before I could de-mold it.
Anyone who has had an old pet should understand what you're going through and how you're trying to get through it.. He's been your companion for a long time. He had a drink named after him for your wedding. He's part of your family! It says so much about you both that He's lived this long. Don't finish a bad comment! You both rock as Crusty's parents. Your cross-country trip with him was epic!
My chihuahua is almost 20 and people think your so horrible when your like “yeah im just prepared for him to pass” and its not because i dont love him ita because as they get so old you have an understanding theyve lived their life and every day is a bonus.
My very favorite cat Pugsley was seventeen when he died. He was a sturdy black manx who came to us when at age two when his owner died very suddenly. I loved him very much and his tough guy, heart of gold James Cagney personality. He really only had three day down days and just died peacefully at home. 💐
i have a 15 year old Burmese mnt dog(crossed with malamute) and she’s feeling her age these past5 months...this christmas she’s getting all the turkey and stuffing she wants!!!! i love you Skky...you are my world
I get it. My first cat lived until 22 (human age 104). When he died, I felt sad but I didn't cry. He got so frail in the end it was a blessing to know he had passed peacefully at the vet.
I lost my elderly kitty this past summer and his terror is greatly missed. Though I am glad I dont have an animal with incontinence anymore, I do miss his dumb toothless meowing, his head butts, and his constant purring. I rescued him when he was already 15 or so and I had him for 5 years so he was 20 or older when he passed
The comedic timing of Tyler fumbling with his lightbulb before Safiya confidently showed the camera how the scarf was supposed to be tied only for Tyler to stick a perfectly done lightbulb in frame had me DYING.
I love how Safiya and Tyler appear as “real” people vs. putting on the “camera face” and they wear comfy clothes.I feel this makes the video more laid back like we are all just hanging out.
I love Tyler’s non-toxic masculinity vibe, because he’s very manly, just in a nice way. He’s caring, empathetic, and from an outside perspective seems to be decent at handling his emotions. This is kind of just me appreciating Tyler, because he is a wonderful human. Also, this might seem like a really low bar, but he didn’t get angry when Saf mentioned making his ornament pink in the ink hack, which I’ve is different than what I’m used to, as most men in my hometown would probably get angry if someone suggested for them to make something pink. So props to Tyler for being a good person in society that doesn’t really value good people.
I agree. Just seems like a standup good guy! As you said, it’s a low bar, but sadly it’s not displayed often enough. So I’m still gonna appreciate Tyler for it as a good example of it 😁
The term for this sort of guy is called a sigma male (i discovered this recently) and it really describes the best men we have out here on this green earth.would love myself a sigma man.
I commiserate/resonate/relate to the ancient and decrepit pet life. My elderly dog takes up a lot of my life, (the 25 minute process of feeding her is happening as I watch) and she deserves a good end, and not to be put out to pasture because it's a lot of work for me...I know it's my responsibility as a pet parent. I love her, and am happy to have her in my life still. It's okay to have mixed feelings about the difficulties involved! It's tough! And emotional, confusing, frustrating, and often a lot of gross cleaning. But the love is still there.
I am prepared, at this point, for Crusty to pass, and just as Safiya and Tyler start getting over the loss, a new, deceptively-young-looking street cat shows up near their house to baffle all vets it encounters with its zest for, not necessarily life, but survival.
my mil has a cat that wondered up from behind her house and become hers long story short we discovered that his name used to be dirty sanchez and he was the next door neighbors however spot (new name) hated her and she didn't really care about him
Cats do know who will take care of them!! About a week ago I found a stray kitten outside my house and brought it in to find it a home, and she’s the best little cat in the world. She’s the sweetest little babe and one of my best friends is going to try and take her home 🥰
Crusty has gone from neglected stray to internet celebrity so he has made good use of his time down here. When his time comes we should celebrate his life rather than feeling sad,though its natural to mourn his passing and miss him as remote uncles and aunts.
have yall ever seen where people will get a bag of random supplies and try to figure out what the craft is supposed to turn into? that would be a fun stream idea, and yall could post the supplies that will be used on the community tab a few days before the stream so people could follow along if they wanted
When my mom was really low on money. She was a single mom of 3 kids. The plastic cup light globe was something she could affordably make and it was probably my favorite gift for years. She put so much time and effort into it that it meant a lot more than other gifts. I had it hanging in my room for a LONG time even after moving out until my dogs destroyed it 😂
okok I watched this live but I had to come back and comment specifically that you should ABSOLUTELY do a cement life hack video. For some reason, five minute crafts used to push their cement hack video onto my Facebook feed ALL. THE. TIME. and every time I was compelled to watch in horror as they poured cement onto rolls of toilet paper, let it harden, and then used it as a fruit bowl. I just have to see it done by someone who isn't five minute crafts so I can finally get the image out of my head because it haunts me to this day.
BTW, the "give instructions while other person can't see" would make for a very fun stream! One of the content creators I watch occasionally has done it with small lego kits and it's highly entertaining.
I love (although it's sad) how similar their situation with Crust is to mine and my dog. He's around 17, blind, deaf, incontinent. He's actually doing pretty well besides being generally disoriented, but his kidneys are very slowly starting to fail. I deeply relate to everything they're saying. I'm facing it the same way as safiya, accepting that he's had a long happy life and every day from now on is kind of a gift and that things turned out the best way possible for him as a dog and us as his humans. And i share the same moments with him of wondering, is this goodbye? Doesn't mean that my heart isn't going to break for a long time after he's gone, i'll be broken.
We had a little old dog who was in a similar position,. She couldn't move on her own anymore, had to be held up to relieve herself, body generally failing, but she would sit and order everyone around from her spot and demand attention. She couldn't do much anymore, but she still loved life and had a lot to say about it. It was hard deciding the right time to put her down, because it seemed like her quality of life was getting worse, but she was so happy to be there. It's hard losing any pet, but I appreciate the time I got to spend with her and come to accept her passing when it was time. Best wishes to you and your sweet boy whatever happens.
My cat who passed this past spring was around 20 years old. He was blind, deaf, toothless aside from half of one canine, and would just go wherever he was, sometimes he wouldnt even wake up. He slowed down considerably right before he past away. We gave him a bath (he actually liked them) with lots of bubbles the night before he past away. He was well loved for the 5 years we had him and he passed away curled up in his kitty bed. When you have an older animal, its better to prepare for their death even though it will still hurt a lot when it finally happens.
The candle hack reminds me so much of my childhood. This technique of using a paper napkin to decorate candles has been around for decades, such a classic!
that feels like a massive fire risk if you light it. like it will be fine for a while then suddenly the candle will melt down to the paper and the paper will dry up and set alight
@@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra Mine never lit on fire when I lit them as a kid (the candles were always really thick and didn't get very hot on the outside), but most people only do it for decoration anyway.
@@braincabbage it is more if you let it melt. long life candles maybe not as it will take ages to get that low. but having paper on a candle for me just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. ive worked allot with fire effects and have extensive fire safety training and this gives me the red flag. it could be safe but id never allow it
we did that candle hack in kindergarten and it was really fun I don't remember how exaxtly we stuck it on though, but there was definitely no hot things involved @@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra as for fire hazard: I think it might be fine 'cause the candle is pretty big and the napkin design is relatively low on the candle and also kinda small, but we never lit that candle we just use it for decoration so I don't know (but I really don't see a problem if you don't light it)
My cat Aslan lived to twenty years old. Shortly before he died, maybe a week, he and I sat and I cuddled him in my arms. We just stared into each other's eyes, and each other's hearts during those 10-15 minutes. It was amazing. I got him when I was 19 years old, and Aslan was just 6 weeks old. Definitely a sweetheart of a kitty.
My mom & aunts totally did the plastic cup/twinkle light balls 20-25 years ago … with smaller/sturdier cups & melting the cups together (outside & well ventilated). It was awesome and lasted at least 10 years … it may still be with my mom’s holiday decorations!
Carly's kind laughter to be nice to Saf and Ty laughing is just precious. Ty's like 'he's wrapping the hair around, that is not easy!' and Carly's like UM. Her polite laughter every stream gives me life
"feel a little lightheaded" omg this reminds me of when I was in charge of a little event for kids at the library and we were supposed to do cotton ball races where you have a little track on the floor and have to control a cotton ball using a straw and your breath to get it across the whole room. And the kids LOVED it but they didn't know what hyperventilation was and one of them started panicking when they got light-headed and thought they were going to have to go to the hospital. I sat there with them explaining what hyperventilation is and how it works and that all they have to do is sit down for a bit until they feel normal again. So everyone sat down and colored before we got back to the cotton ball races.
I am happy that Saf reply to the ppl who think she is too callous about Crusty. Saf and Tyler have always been super PG and trying hard to not offend anyone but this whole thing is her personal life, the fact that she is even mentioning it already is enough (and not necessary) hell, they rescued this grandpa, brought him with CAR across the country, visited the vet soo many times even though every vet told them that he's sooo old even the doctors won't be too optimistic...all of these actions show how much they care for Crusty, how is it okay for ppl to say such insensitive things? Ppl should just learn when to shut up and mind their own business.
When I was 13, I tried that stapling cups together hack AND LET ME TELL YOU IT DID NOT GO WELL. I just kept buying cups, the cups were tearing, it kept going without an end, never became a hemisphere because it kept going, an utter waste of money, resources and plastic. Dinosaurs got hit by a meteor for me to staple their remnants together and make a shit show. This experience made me aware of not trying everything on the internet and it was better to just stick to the small scale projects
I empathize with Tyler on his ear problems. I've had similar problems since childhood. Then, a couple years ago I got a Rhino ear wash (when I saw a nurse use it at one of my professional cleaning sessions). It's basically a spray bottle with a water solution and it helps clear wax blockages.
The cup light ball has been around since the late 70's/80's. The ones my dad used to make and sell used smaller cups and I think he used hot glue to join the cups together. They were only about 18" -in diameter. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories.
I've done the candle/napkin hack before to make candles for my mom and it worked really well! But I used an iron to apply, which is a lot safer, I think, and it applies more evenly, because the flat surface of the iron pushes the napkin onto the slightly melting wax. But it's a really fun and rewarding craft, pretty easy, and the candles burn fine, it doesn't seem like it's more flammable.
Tip: don't display the alcohol ink ornaments in sunlight. the ink WILL fade. Certain colors will actually disappear completely. Also, canned air apparently works great for spreading the ink around
OMG the reindeer hair cosplay was hysterical. Tyler was trying so hard, I really wanted to help. As I watched this video on replay all I could do (sorry Tyler) was giggle. Grading (like my old elementary school report card): EFFORT: A+ CREATIVITY: B and SKILL: Needs Work...as I said Tyler was trying really hard to accomplish this task. ❤️
I'm definitely going to try the raindeer hair. I don't have any hair donuts, and my hair's too thin for them, but I might be able to do it without one. Also petition for a Tyler following hair tutorials stream or video! I'd recommend Silvousplaits, it's where I learnt how to do a lot of the more elaborate stuff that I do with my hair. It's also where I first learnt Dutch braiding (which was before I learnt how to French braid on myself).
Ok I got here late so I was waiting until the comments were open but I have made a sparkleball (the cups and light thing at the beginning) and they 1) do work and 2) are pretty easy (but yes time consuming). There is a whole website about them - they have been around for many many years. 5 minute crafts just stole the idea. Also I loved the Boy Meets World halloween episode reference.
Fun fact about the fake snow hack, those types of projects are often used for kids with autism and/or sensory processing disorder, myself included. Therapist or parents will use it to either allow us to get used to sensory feelings that we are not totally comfortable with, or to get sensory input that we like. In my house, we did it a lot with shaving cream & plastic figurines, sand, fingerpainting, Play-Doh, and gooey substances such as slime . It helped my brother and I figure out what textures we are comfortable with, along with help us to decompress from stressful situations, and get more comfortable with other textures. It’s also just a nice experience in general. I’d recommend it to anyone who has sensory issues, or just general anxiety to decompress.
Our cat Kandi was old like Crusty. We knew with her age and behavior that she wouldn't be with us much longer. She passed away at home and even when you expect it to happen, it is devastating. It's been 7 weeks since she got her angel wings and I cry everyday. All I want for Xmas is an old lady cat back in my life. Devastating and enjoy all your moments with her.
This was a fun video! I love Christmas crafts. 😍 If you decide to continue to use the alcohol inks, here are a few things to remember. Alcohol inks contain resins so you should NOT directly blow on them since those resins can become airborne and get into your lungs. Tim Holtz makes an Alcohol Ink Blower that is very efficient to use and gives the same effect. You CAN put a thumb (preferably covered by a rubber glove) over the opening of the ornament and shake it vigorously. You will get a very similar effect. Alcohol inks can be used on ANYTHING that is nonporous, so don't limit yourselves to ornaments! ☝️😃 You can pounce them on the outside of glass candleholders, drop them on fairy lights to change the color that they glow, drip them down windows, swirl them on acrylic substrates, paint them on glazed ceramics, drop them onto various plastics. Seriously, they're one of the coolest art mediums. 😊 Keep up the creative and lighthearted work! ❤
I think 5 minute crafts seem to forget that "hacks" are meant to make things cheaper or quicker/easier. Pop up trees are a thing already and I'm pretty sure I easier to just buy one. We used to have one at my office. X
Those light ball cups were veeeeeeeeery popular in the 90s. My grandparents had several they'd use for Christmas, they were smaller and used hot glue to hold them together.
I've done a clear ornament craft where you poor a few different colors of paint in the ornament and then slowly move them around until the inside of the ornament is completely coated. It turns out really pretty and then you can do whatever colors you want and have tons of different options.
Tyler, the baking soda box is designed for baking. When you rip open the tab and top, you pull it back and there’s a flat piece of cardboard inside that comes forward for you to scrape the measuring spoon on for a flat measure. The more you know 🌈🌟
The GingerbreadGloveMan hack is 100% what's wrong with hack channels... The premise was you have one hole in one of your gloves. Will you show how to sew the hole shut? Will you show how to fuse interfacing to have an at least half usable glove? Will you make mittens out of the pair? Nope! Making a decoration and not talking about the unusable left over glove! That... Is not what reuse is about. Yes you can do stuff like that if you have a glove with one finger (The middle finger, mind you, not any finger like the premise implied) half ripped off, or if you have lost/destroyed beyond repair the other half of the pair and have the other one slightly damaged. You. Do not. waste a whole pair of gloves for a teensy hole. This is how you get overproduction and waste disposal issues.
I totally remember doing that "blowing into a clear ornament" hack in Sunday school (right after we made some of those salted dough ornament) we were shaking by the end too
Tyler saying, "They ask you what you did at your autopsy. One time I..." But wouldn't you be dead at your autopsy, so they can't really ask you. 😂 Every Detective's dream, ask the dead.
It’s okay Tyler. I’m terrible at doing my hair or anyone’s hair, so I make every effort to not be in a situation where I have to do hair. In high school, I burned my hand on curling iron while trying to do my hair for a drama club thing and now the most I’ll do is straighten my hair because that’s about as good as I can do.
My mom actually made one of those clear cup, christmas light ball lights. Took her 3 days and it was hell to keep clean between smoke, dust and cobwebs
I know I'm a little late to the show watching this but I get all you're feeling with Crusty...my fur feline bebe Evilbee is 14, gonna be 15 and while I'm happy he's not got incontinence issues, the terror he enacts daily is LOUD CONSTANT MEOWING...he was always the chatty one in the bunch but since we last our other cat this past June, he's just gotten progressively louder, meowing more hours in the day/night, and snappier...everyone's tired of hearing him meow 24/7 but nothing works to quiet him so we're at a loss what to do...but he's definitely older, he's got some kitty heart issues and he's the runt of the litter...still feels like he's healthy and he still runs around like a youthful one but he'd be considered in his "senile" age now
I bought one of those ear wax remover camera wands a few weeks back because my right ear is really bad for wax impaction because of how twisty the canals are, and I'd sinned and ended up pushing a whole bunch of ear wax back against my eardrum and figured the camera wand ear wax remover thing would help... and it was legit my saving grace ;-; Maybe I've been watching too much Dr. Pimple Popper or maybe it's because so much of my family is in health care, but the wax isn't gross to me. I just kept getting hits of dopamine every time I secured a big chunk of old wax from back there and got to add it to the piece of Kleenex I had with my growing ear wax collection on it xD!! ...Well... at least, until I fumbled my phone and stabbed the inside of my ear canal with the silicon scoop attached to the wand and caused some respectable looking damage to the wall of the canal.... Came super close to busting my eardrum, but I mean, the wax only forms in the outer third of your ear or something, so as long as you keep up with it - it should be less and less of a potential complication/hazard/risk :') Also, I've figured it out o.o' /The real reason that Saf & Tyler are always so shiny-looking under the lights is because they've eaten so much wax/lipstick over the years that they ARE the wax/lipstick now, and the light is exposing them for what they are 🤣🤣😭🤧😂🤣😂🤧😂😂 Lightbulb xD
Loved these crafts! A few of these crafts, especially the snowman lightbulb hack, brought back homeschool group Christmas craft days HARD CORE! Or when we'd visit Christmas markets at churches and farmer's markets and buy some handmade crafty ornament. Also, we LITERALLY had that exact snowman ornament IN MY HOUSE growing up. I bet my parents still have it and will most likely put it up on the tree this year...
Honestly, our old cat has numerous serious issues, we've had to come to terms with the fact that she could leave us at any point. I do sound quite matter-of-fact about it at times, but that's because I've had to come to terms with it. Doesn't mean I won't ball my eyes out when she finally goes - as I'm sure Safiya and Tyler will do with Crusty. I understand what Tyler said by hoping for the "see you later" moment because that's so much more peaceful than having to take your pet in to have them put to sleep. I'm really hoping my kitty will just go by herself too. I just feel like Safiya and Tyler are such positive people that they don't want to dwell on the idea too much, because they can't do anything to stop the inevitable. And that's okay ❤
I had a 23 yr old cross breed pupper when I was a kid and every day she’d wake up and my dad would be like “Really? You again? You’re still here?!” When she died that’s the only time I’ve ever seen my dad cry. You gotta prepare yourself however you can, when you know the end is nearing.
My cat was 4ish moths shy of 19 when she passed. The last year and half her health had taken a turn and we were really just waiting for when she would go. It was sad and I still miss her but that's life. The last 3 years the vet kept saying that she wouldn't last the year lol
I’ve actually done the lightbulb one, but my daughter did penguins instead of the snowman. Stuck them in disposable cut holders and made our own poor person Santa village.
1:05:13 safiya struggling with the scarf, trying to demonstrate how to do it for tyler, and then tyler just slides his PERFECT scarf into view... the height of comedy

Honestly there are so many stray cats in NC, this isn't even far fetched. Cats just know which humans will take care of them.
my mil has a cat that wondered up from behind her house and become hers long story short we discovered that his name used to be dirty sanchez and he was the next door neighbors however spot (new name) hated her and she didn't really care about him
Cats do know who will take care of them!! About a week ago I found a stray kitten outside my house and brought it in to find it a home, and she’s the best little cat in the world. She’s the sweetest little babe and one of my best friends is going to try and take her home 🥰
I'm here from the future to tell you were kinda correct
In the end there is a new kitty named cosmo(?) who looked a lot like crusty
Crusty has gone from neglected stray to internet celebrity so he has made good use of his time down here. When his time comes we should celebrate his life rather than feeling sad,though its natural to mourn his passing and miss him as remote uncles and aunts.
"[H]e has made good use of his time down here" I like that imagery. And I think your comment was so spot on and very sweet.💕
have yall ever seen where people will get a bag of random supplies and try to figure out what the craft is supposed to turn into? that would be a fun stream idea, and yall could post the supplies that will be used on the community tab a few days before the stream so people could follow along if they wanted
When my mom was really low on money. She was a single mom of 3 kids. The plastic cup light globe was something she could affordably make and it was probably my favorite gift for years. She put so much time and effort into it that it meant a lot more than other gifts. I had it hanging in my room for a LONG time even after moving out until my dogs destroyed it 😂
My mom did things like that too! I love looking back on those memories, and how she gave us such happy childhoods while going through so much. 😊
okok I watched this live but I had to come back and comment specifically that you should ABSOLUTELY do a cement life hack video. For some reason, five minute crafts used to push their cement hack video onto my Facebook feed ALL. THE. TIME. and every time I was compelled to watch in horror as they poured cement onto rolls of toilet paper, let it harden, and then used it as a fruit bowl. I just have to see it done by someone who isn't five minute crafts so I can finally get the image out of my head because it haunts me to this day.
BTW, the "give instructions while other person can't see" would make for a very fun stream! One of the content creators I watch occasionally has done it with small lego kits and it's highly entertaining.
Idea for the next time they have to do a hair hack, have Tyler wear a wig and make Safiya do the hack on Tyler’s head
I love (although it's sad) how similar their situation with Crust is to mine and my dog. He's around 17, blind, deaf, incontinent. He's actually doing pretty well besides being generally disoriented, but his kidneys are very slowly starting to fail. I deeply relate to everything they're saying. I'm facing it the same way as safiya, accepting that he's had a long happy life and every day from now on is kind of a gift and that things turned out the best way possible for him as a dog and us as his humans. And i share the same moments with him of wondering, is this goodbye? Doesn't mean that my heart isn't going to break for a long time after he's gone, i'll be broken.
We had a little old dog who was in a similar position,. She couldn't move on her own anymore, had to be held up to relieve herself, body generally failing, but she would sit and order everyone around from her spot and demand attention. She couldn't do much anymore, but she still loved life and had a lot to say about it. It was hard deciding the right time to put her down, because it seemed like her quality of life was getting worse, but she was so happy to be there.
It's hard losing any pet, but I appreciate the time I got to spend with her and come to accept her passing when it was time.
Best wishes to you and your sweet boy whatever happens.
@@annasullivan2564 It truly is one of the most difficult decisions to make. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays :)
My cat who passed this past spring was around 20 years old. He was blind, deaf, toothless aside from half of one canine, and would just go wherever he was, sometimes he wouldnt even wake up. He slowed down considerably right before he past away. We gave him a bath (he actually liked them) with lots of bubbles the night before he past away. He was well loved for the 5 years we had him and he passed away curled up in his kitty bed. When you have an older animal, its better to prepare for their death even though it will still hurt a lot when it finally happens.
@@kittikat4124 I agree 100%. And i think it's really cool you adopted a senior! Lucky boy.
This was a fun stream! Although chat worries too much and I feel like people are hard on everything Tyler does, it seems unfair. Just let him be!
"I think we're frozen"
Saf & Tyler stand completely still looking at chat. 😂😂
Mentioning the bingo board should now be put on the bingo board 🤣🤣
The candle hack reminds me so much of my childhood. This technique of using a paper napkin to decorate candles has been around for decades, such a classic!
but usually you'd use mod podge to stick it on the candle, it's called decoupage
that feels like a massive fire risk if you light it. like it will be fine for a while then suddenly the candle will melt down to the paper and the paper will dry up and set alight
@@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra Mine never lit on fire when I lit them as a kid (the candles were always really thick and didn't get very hot on the outside), but most people only do it for decoration anyway.
@@braincabbage it is more if you let it melt. long life candles maybe not as it will take ages to get that low. but having paper on a candle for me just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. ive worked allot with fire effects and have extensive fire safety training and this gives me the red flag. it could be safe but id never allow it
we did that candle hack in kindergarten and it was really fun
I don't remember how exaxtly we stuck it on though, but there was definitely no hot things involved
@@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra as for fire hazard: I think it might be fine 'cause the candle is pretty big and the napkin design is relatively low on the candle and also kinda small, but we never lit that candle we just use it for decoration so I don't know (but I really don't see a problem if you don't light it)
My cat Aslan lived to twenty years old. Shortly before he died, maybe a week, he and I sat and I cuddled him in my arms. We just stared into each other's eyes, and each other's hearts during those 10-15 minutes. It was amazing. I got him when I was 19 years old, and Aslan was just 6 weeks old. Definitely a sweetheart of a kitty.
My mom & aunts totally did the plastic cup/twinkle light balls 20-25 years ago … with smaller/sturdier cups & melting the cups together (outside & well ventilated). It was awesome and lasted at least 10 years … it may still be with my mom’s holiday decorations!
Carly's kind laughter to be nice to Saf and Ty laughing is just precious. Ty's like 'he's wrapping the hair around, that is not easy!' and Carly's like UM. Her polite laughter every stream gives me life
"feel a little lightheaded"
omg this reminds me of when I was in charge of a little event for kids at the library and we were supposed to do cotton ball races where you have a little track on the floor and have to control a cotton ball using a straw and your breath to get it across the whole room. And the kids LOVED it but they didn't know what hyperventilation was and one of them started panicking when they got light-headed and thought they were going to have to go to the hospital. I sat there with them explaining what hyperventilation is and how it works and that all they have to do is sit down for a bit until they feel normal again. So everyone sat down and colored before we got back to the cotton ball races.
I am happy that Saf reply to the ppl who think she is too callous about Crusty. Saf and Tyler have always been super PG and trying hard to not offend anyone but this whole thing is her personal life, the fact that she is even mentioning it already is enough (and not necessary) hell, they rescued this grandpa, brought him with CAR across the country, visited the vet soo many times even though every vet told them that he's sooo old even the doctors won't be too optimistic...all of these actions show how much they care for Crusty, how is it okay for ppl to say such insensitive things? Ppl should just learn when to shut up and mind their own business.
I don’t know how 5 minute crafts can keep copyright striking you when they steal all their ideas in the first place.
THIS AS FUCK it's straight up infuriating
When I was 13, I tried that stapling cups together hack AND LET ME TELL YOU IT DID NOT GO WELL. I just kept buying cups, the cups were tearing, it kept going without an end, never became a hemisphere because it kept going, an utter waste of money, resources and plastic. Dinosaurs got hit by a meteor for me to staple their remnants together and make a shit show.
This experience made me aware of not trying everything on the internet and it was better to just stick to the small scale projects
I empathize with Tyler on his ear problems. I've had similar problems since childhood. Then, a couple years ago I got a Rhino ear wash (when I saw a nurse use it at one of my professional cleaning sessions). It's basically a spray bottle with a water solution and it helps clear wax blockages.
The cup light ball has been around since the late 70's/80's. The ones my dad used to make and sell used smaller cups and I think he used hot glue to join the cups together. They were only about 18" -in diameter. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories.
These streams have an extra layer of awesomeness if there’s someone in your life called Joan that you hate 😌
I've done the candle/napkin hack before to make candles for my mom and it worked really well! But I used an iron to apply, which is a lot safer, I think, and it applies more evenly, because the flat surface of the iron pushes the napkin onto the slightly melting wax. But it's a really fun and rewarding craft, pretty easy, and the candles burn fine, it doesn't seem like it's more flammable.
Um, yes, I 100% want a full video on concrete hacks. Absolutely.
I play your streams in the background while I'm working and it had saved me from so much worry and anxiety. Thank you, guys! ❣
I won't lie sometimes I cant stand how sensitive and paranoid your chat can be. 🙈
Tip: don't display the alcohol ink ornaments in sunlight. the ink WILL fade. Certain colors will actually disappear completely.
Also, canned air apparently works great for spreading the ink around
OMG the reindeer hair cosplay was hysterical. Tyler was trying so hard, I really wanted to help. As I watched this video on replay all I could do (sorry Tyler) was giggle. Grading (like my old elementary school report card): EFFORT: A+ CREATIVITY: B and SKILL: Needs Work...as I said Tyler was trying really hard to accomplish this task. ❤️
I'm definitely going to try the raindeer hair. I don't have any hair donuts, and my hair's too thin for them, but I might be able to do it without one.
Also petition for a Tyler following hair tutorials stream or video! I'd recommend Silvousplaits, it's where I learnt how to do a lot of the more elaborate stuff that I do with my hair. It's also where I first learnt Dutch braiding (which was before I learnt how to French braid on myself).
Tyler laughing at Safiya's exhaustion and delayed responses is just honestly adorable on both their parts!😂😂❤
Ok I got here late so I was waiting until the comments were open but I have made a sparkleball (the cups and light thing at the beginning) and they 1) do work and 2) are pretty easy (but yes time consuming). There is a whole website about them - they have been around for many many years. 5 minute crafts just stole the idea.
Also I loved the Boy Meets World halloween episode reference.
i think they often stealing crafts :/
the 5 minute crafts hating trinity are Safiya, Tyler and Ann Reardon 😂 seriously i think she would love the hacks squid game idea 😂
With an honourable mention to the Welsh Twins
I am so glad they started these streams because the world needs more Tyler content 😂
Fun fact about the fake snow hack, those types of projects are often used for kids with autism and/or sensory processing disorder, myself included. Therapist or parents will use it to either allow us to get used to sensory feelings that we are not totally comfortable with, or to get sensory input that we like. In my house, we did it a lot with shaving cream & plastic figurines, sand, fingerpainting, Play-Doh, and gooey substances such as slime . It helped my brother and I figure out what textures we are comfortable with, along with help us to decompress from stressful situations, and get more comfortable with other textures. It’s also just a nice experience in general. I’d recommend it to anyone who has sensory issues, or just general anxiety to decompress.
Tyler's stories about his ear wax reassure me about my ear wax not being that bad, gives great perspective
Carly keeps saying "just a dot" of glue and S&T keep not listening. 😂
Our cat Kandi was old like Crusty. We knew with her age and behavior that she wouldn't be with us much longer. She passed away at home and even when you expect it to happen, it is devastating. It's been 7 weeks since she got her angel wings and I cry everyday. All I want for Xmas is an old lady cat back in my life. Devastating and enjoy all your moments with her.
This was a fun video! I love Christmas crafts. 😍
If you decide to continue to use the alcohol inks, here are a few things to remember.
Alcohol inks contain resins so you should NOT directly blow on them since those resins can become airborne and get into your lungs. Tim Holtz makes an Alcohol Ink Blower that is very efficient to use and gives the same effect.
You CAN put a thumb (preferably covered by a rubber glove) over the opening of the ornament and shake it vigorously. You will get a very similar effect.
Alcohol inks can be used on ANYTHING that is nonporous, so don't limit yourselves to ornaments! ☝️😃 You can pounce them on the outside of glass candleholders, drop them on fairy lights to change the color that they glow, drip them down windows, swirl them on acrylic substrates, paint them on glazed ceramics, drop them onto various plastics. Seriously, they're one of the coolest art mediums. 😊
Keep up the creative and lighthearted work! ❤
Lighthearted lightheaded work hehe
The thing about crusty looking out the Stainglass window cracked me up! I could totally picture it and imagine just how hilarious it was😂
I think 5 minute crafts seem to forget that "hacks" are meant to make things cheaper or quicker/easier. Pop up trees are a thing already and I'm pretty sure I easier to just buy one. We used to have one at my office. X
Those light ball cups were veeeeeeeeery popular in the 90s. My grandparents had several they'd use for Christmas, they were smaller and used hot glue to hold them together.
I've done a clear ornament craft where you poor a few different colors of paint in the ornament and then slowly move them around until the inside of the ornament is completely coated. It turns out really pretty and then you can do whatever colors you want and have tons of different options.
Tyler, the baking soda box is designed for baking. When you rip open the tab and top, you pull it back and there’s a flat piece of cardboard inside that comes forward for you to scrape the measuring spoon on for a flat measure. The more you know 🌈🌟
The GingerbreadGloveMan hack is 100% what's wrong with hack channels... The premise was you have one hole in one of your gloves.
Will you show how to sew the hole shut?
Will you show how to fuse interfacing to have an at least half usable glove?
Will you make mittens out of the pair?
Nope! Making a decoration and not talking about the unusable left over glove!
That... Is not what reuse is about. Yes you can do stuff like that if you have a glove with one finger (The middle finger, mind you, not any finger like the premise implied) half ripped off, or if you have lost/destroyed beyond repair the other half of the pair and have the other one slightly damaged.
You. Do not. waste a whole pair of gloves for a teensy hole. This is how you get overproduction and waste disposal issues.
i just don’t think 5 minute crafts were able to handle all the merkin talk tbh but that’s their problem ❤️
And you just sent my brain sideways to the thought that a merkin could *be* a 5-minute craft.
I totally remember doing that "blowing into a clear ornament" hack in Sunday school (right after we made some of those salted dough ornament) we were shaking by the end too
My 20 year old cat passed away last month and everything youre saying about Crusty was reality for me as well. Sweet kitties 💕
The king and queen escapes 5 minute crafts grasp!
Tyler saying, "They ask you what you did at your autopsy. One time I..." But wouldn't you be dead at your autopsy, so they can't really ask you. 😂 Every Detective's dream, ask the dead.
You two are really great together on camera and it's clear how much you love each other.
Corporate Art is def a thing and totally weird and kind of soulless.
Tyler WOULD be the one talking at his own autopsy.
Finding out Tyler is a fellow Gemini just makes everything about him make so much more sense.
He always reminded me so much of my bf. They’re both geminis lol
Once, I saw a meme that said Gemini men have Muppet energy and it's just... the most accurate thing I've ever seen as the wife of a Gemini man.
Safiya and Tyler playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes would be hilarious.
Omg. I could not be more happy right now. Thank you to whoever for this!!!!
5 minute crafts must be colluding with Joan of Arc…
It’s okay Tyler. I’m terrible at doing my hair or anyone’s hair, so I make every effort to not be in a situation where I have to do hair. In high school, I burned my hand on curling iron while trying to do my hair for a drama club thing and now the most I’ll do is straighten my hair because that’s about as good as I can do.
My mom actually made one of those clear cup, christmas light ball lights. Took her 3 days and it was hell to keep clean between smoke, dust and cobwebs
"Sweetie" That was the cutest thing ever
their "fake snow" looked 100% exactly like corn starch... i think they just used corn starch in the final shot lol.
It's almost like Safiya knew the stream would be jailed lol maybe it's Tuesday maybe it's Wednesday? Love your videos!
I love the stream it's cool that Safiya and Tyler can be their self's through the whole videos that they have made.🙂
this week was sm fun!! see u all monday hehe 🖤
I know I'm a little late to the show watching this but I get all you're feeling with Crusty...my fur feline bebe Evilbee is 14, gonna be 15 and while I'm happy he's not got incontinence issues, the terror he enacts daily is LOUD CONSTANT MEOWING...he was always the chatty one in the bunch but since we last our other cat this past June, he's just gotten progressively louder, meowing more hours in the day/night, and snappier...everyone's tired of hearing him meow 24/7 but nothing works to quiet him so we're at a loss what to do...but he's definitely older, he's got some kitty heart issues and he's the runt of the litter...still feels like he's healthy and he still runs around like a youthful one but he'd be considered in his "senile" age now
Am I the only one who thought it was so cute when Tyler called Safiya sweetie 🥰 (49:40)
I bought one of those ear wax remover camera wands a few weeks back because my right ear is really bad for wax impaction because of how twisty the canals are, and I'd sinned and ended up pushing a whole bunch of ear wax back against my eardrum and figured the camera wand ear wax remover thing would help... and it was legit my saving grace ;-;
Maybe I've been watching too much Dr. Pimple Popper or maybe it's because so much of my family is in health care, but the wax isn't gross to me. I just kept getting hits of dopamine every time I secured a big chunk of old wax from back there and got to add it to the piece of Kleenex I had with my growing ear wax collection on it xD!!
...Well... at least, until I fumbled my phone and stabbed the inside of my ear canal with the silicon scoop attached to the wand and caused some respectable looking damage to the wall of the canal.... Came super close to busting my eardrum, but I mean, the wax only forms in the outer third of your ear or something, so as long as you keep up with it - it should be less and less of a potential complication/hazard/risk :')
Also, I've figured it out o.o'
/The real reason that Saf & Tyler are always so shiny-looking under the lights is because they've eaten so much wax/lipstick over the years that they ARE the wax/lipstick now, and the light is exposing them for what they are 🤣🤣😭🤧😂🤣😂🤧😂😂
Lightbulb xD
I feel like the giant cup ball light thing is one that Jenna marbles would try lol
Hahaha, I was thinking the same! Jenna would to *that* hack, lol
Finally ill be able to watch it, but not thanks to 5 minute crafts. 🤷♂️🤣
Seems like every time five minute crafts tries to claim your stream, they lose even faster. This one was back within a day!
Loved these crafts! A few of these crafts, especially the snowman lightbulb hack, brought back homeschool group Christmas craft days HARD CORE! Or when we'd visit Christmas markets at churches and farmer's markets and buy some handmade crafty ornament. Also, we LITERALLY had that exact snowman ornament IN MY HOUSE growing up. I bet my parents still have it and will most likely put it up on the tree this year...
Glad this is up! I totally missed the stream yesterday!
Thank you to whoever CC'd the whole ass stream! 😍
Honestly, our old cat has numerous serious issues, we've had to come to terms with the fact that she could leave us at any point. I do sound quite matter-of-fact about it at times, but that's because I've had to come to terms with it. Doesn't mean I won't ball my eyes out when she finally goes - as I'm sure Safiya and Tyler will do with Crusty. I understand what Tyler said by hoping for the "see you later" moment because that's so much more peaceful than having to take your pet in to have them put to sleep. I'm really hoping my kitty will just go by herself too. I just feel like Safiya and Tyler are such positive people that they don't want to dwell on the idea too much, because they can't do anything to stop the inevitable. And that's okay ❤
I love doing art while watching these videos. Makes me feel like I’m doing art with them.
I had a 23 yr old cross breed pupper when I was a kid and every day she’d wake up and my dad would be like “Really? You again? You’re still here?!”
When she died that’s the only time I’ve ever seen my dad cry.
You gotta prepare yourself however you can, when you know the end is nearing.
If you look closely at Saf's head in later parts of this stream, you'll see her beginning her transformation into her ultimate broom form.
I'm doing the fake snow in my preschool room right now 😊 Its so fun and smells great!
I work in a special school and I’ve made it before for sensory play but I use cornflour instead of baking powder
My cat was 4ish moths shy of 19 when she passed. The last year and half her health had taken a turn and we were really just waiting for when she would go. It was sad and I still miss her but that's life. The last 3 years the vet kept saying that she wouldn't last the year lol
I’ve actually done the lightbulb one, but my daughter did penguins instead of the snowman. Stuck them in disposable cut holders and made our own poor person Santa village.
tyler is worlds best himbo. there. i said it. except he’s smart. just like a manly, non toxic, kind, smart himbo
1:05:13 safiya struggling with the scarf, trying to demonstrate how to do it for tyler, and then tyler just slides his PERFECT scarf into view... the height of comedy
I’ve made the cup sphere before Christmas a couple years ago. It looks super cool and is very easy to make, took me two or three hours, definitely recommend for anyone who wants to try make it 👍🏻
The Lady Dimitrescu hat on those snowman bulbs xD
the One Direction Pun for Tyler: These bulbs will light up the tree like nobody else
The fireplace video in that sweater is literally the exact same one that I fall asleep to every night on youtube
Tyler's got a point, not gonna lie....final destination RUclips edition. He predicted it...
I'm blessed with this golden content! I'm glad I didn't miss out completely!!!
I’m a teacher and one of my students did have a successful reindeer hair bun one year for Christmas. It was actually super cute!
why is chat always so stressed about everything LOL
