Sadly, these mattresses in a box are creating an environmental disaster in the form of overwhelming trash and not enough mattress recycling. Just saying. Not trying to be a downer. Just wish more influences tried harder to address the ramification of their sponsors.
I see you're new to the world of craft kits. NerdECrafter already has a super long list of these grievances, including the always missing paint brush and of course, misleading product cover images!
@@horizon319 I dont care for all these sponsors. Never buy such things it just pays for the video for the makers. As soon as the ad starts I just fast forward to the rest of the video and I have a special application that cancels out all youtube ads.
I made these when I was a kid. I do have some ideas. First, the glitter was a bad inclusion in the kit, it definitely messed up the melting point. Second, that kit had about half as many beads as it needs. You need to have a mound of beads in order for them to melt down sufficiently. It really is a very cool craft when it works.
Oh definitely I remember this…making it all look nice then…we’ll…the glitter kinda ruined it 😅also unavoidable if you have a younger brother that’s a stickler for following instructions so it was impossible to convince him it looked better without the glitter 😅
Mine were always fails, because my older sister kept telling me I was using too much. Years later she told me the beads do indeed need to be piled high in each space. Hers were always awesome.
@@WolfRose11 absolutely not enough beads before they went in the oven. There were little gaps visible in more than a few places, in the final shots before the oven. Really needed to be MOUNDED on there. I loved these as a kid, but do remember not having enough beads for large sections (like the white of the unicorn).
I think this might happen because modern ovens are more accurately temperature controlled than they used to be. 20-30 years ago, an oven set to 375 would be clicking off at about 390 and clicking back on when it drops to 360. Nowadays with better PID controllers they'll be in the 370-380 range, and never quite getting hot enough to fully melt the beads. If you do try them again, nudge the temperature up rather than waiting longer
To further prevent leaking when doing the resin one, you can stick the frame down onto the sticky side of some tape! That helps make a seal between each of the cavities
Used to love the pellet melting kits as a kid. Up there with shrinkydinks, window clings... Also since I grew up partly in Japan, washi paper kits (not washi tape) where you use a mod podge like glue to stick and glaze pretty paper to metal bases to decorate boxes or magnets etc
I love these testing out crafts series. They're so much fun watching you two playing around, but also very helpful feedback of what to 'look for'... or 'look out for' with all these DIY crafts.
I did the melty ones as a kid probably in the 70s or around 1980. Maybe they were higher quality way back then, but they came out great and looked just like stained glass.
These type videos are among my favorite that you do. I love doing the craft kits with my kids, and even if some are a bit disappointing, the little kid in you can't help but have fun ESPECIALLY if there is an element of chaos lol
I really want to try stained glass but there’s no way I could buy the stuff for it here. I remember watching a video and they went to a stained glass store to buy the glass, I would be very surprised if that exists in my country, never mind my city. I can’t even find swimsuit fabric which you would think would be easier to find than stained glass.
There was a video Simone Giertz did where she learned stained Glass and I believe her reaction was it was surprisingly fulfilling or words to that effect.
@@rachelcookie321 some craft stores may have glass. It doesn't have to be a store specific to stained glass. That would have the best selection and people who could guide you through what you need, but most people do not live near such a place.
I remember my mother buying on of these kits with a Christmas theme when I was a kid. All the big areas of plastic fell out over the years from being kept in the attic.
I love how you guys assessed the kit and explained what you thought would actually happen. I know you weren’t so sure about the kit but you guys did great with it!
My mom had something like this as a child in the 80s and she actually found the kit years ago. We were excited to try it out... and quickly discovered that the safety standards were very different 30+ years ago. The fumes of the plastic were horrible, it went from unmolten to burnt in seconds and the metal parts were extremely sharp... Fun times!
The plastic had likely dry rotted, so yeah it burnt instead of melting. if you found a set of 30 year old tires for your car, would you use them? I wouldn’t.
The lumpy texture on the “the more you know” Star really makes it look like the gif though!!! It has that 90s CGI particle effect look but in real life
I remember kits like these from the 80s! :D But we didn't have results like that. All I remember is being told to really pack in the color bits... It might be a temperature issue? The resin ones look so cool!
Yeah the derpy "Teh more yuo fail" star is definitely my favorite. I think it would be great if you added that to the star and hung it up behind you. 😂 Also the transition edits were smooth as resin...not the beads.
Still watching but just a note, instead of doing hot glue on the edges, you can use the resin safe tape sticky side up. It's how you fill the smaller versions of these often used for jewelry.
I loved doing these as a kid and have made some as an adult also. If you have any beads still you can fill the gaps and rebake them. To get the iridescent look you just use clear beads and after baking glue iridescent clear paper on it.
I made these ALL THE TIME when I was younger and you could blend colors if you were subtle and could even melt them into little bowls to put jewelry in
I used to make these as a kid and I never had them do that! So weird! Mine always came out really well. My mother still has a Christmas ornament I made with this stuff over 30 years ago actually
The kits look like something kids would make for their parents and the parents would be very excited. I love when my kids make things and I love to get very excited about their gifts.
One of the many Klutz craft kits I did as a kid was a stained glass kit just like the one you guys used. Results were about the same, but that little lumpy glass dog is now one of my favorite Christmas ornaments 15 years later
I had a Lisa Frank kit like this when I was a kid! I made a unicorn light switch cover. Had it for YEARS. I think you needed to pile the beads up more in the middle to get them to melt evenly.
When I was a kid I remember we had a stained glass type kit but it was plastic shapes that you could paint on to get the colour. It included a unicorn that looked a lot like the one in this kit!
for making resin projects in metal frames like that its actually called open bezels and they have a tape specifically for bezels so you put the metal frame on the tape and it prevents leakage :)
You may wish to consider a crafting oven for these projects and not your cooking oven. Certain crafts reeeeeeeally shouldn’t be done in your cooking oven as they can release toxic fumes and coatings that can affect your food cooked in the oven.
For things this size a toaster oven is dirt cheap. If you wanna be fancy, the sky's the limit in size and smart temperature control. Many paints and such are improved with heat curing! I'm a big fan of powder coating.
@@csn583 that’s true - a toaster oven would probably be sufficient. But knowing these two - they do like cool projects and I can see them outgrowing a cheap toaster oven. 🤣👍
The thing is that they’re testing things that are supposed to go in your normal kitchen oven. That’s part of the test. The amount of kids crafts they do is the same as the number of lots many families do. They also do less crafts involving their oven than many families do.
I did some of the "Makit & Bakit" melty suncatchers as a kid and saw them at the craft store again recently. I have a cactus one where I added more beads after it was mostly melted so it has a textured look! Using the frames with resin seemed like a fun project, I wonder if you can buy them separately.
Yes! They are called “bezels” I think. Maybe not spelled correctly. They are generally smaller though. I bought some individual makit bakits at a craft store called hobby lobby and was going to do the same thing.
This reminds me of an emaille course that used to be taught at a local museum, only with way less steps. We would take a small copper plate, lay a design on top with copper wires and fill the design with (I think) glass powder. It would get melted in a very very hot oven. You'd have to add more powder and melt again a few times and then sand everything down until it was smooth. (I'm skipping a few minor steps for a more concise explanation). It was a very long and detailed process where you had to be very precise and patient. You'd end up with an artwork that was generally smaller than 5cm x 5cm. This course was taught to children.
It would be super cool if y’all created your own metal design and made your own sun catchers !! Not if you can but maybe the laser cutter could cut your metal designs ? And you did resin in them :) Oooo like a pretty sunset over water one would be sweet or the cat skull design you did in the uv paint episode !
I had a kit where it was one clear shape with raised lines to separate out sections. It came with some colored liquid that you filled the sections with, and then it hardened, kinda like your resin, but there was no fear of leakage
I just realized that you guys have the same oven as ours! Also I have made this craft before except the beads did not spread evenly. And there where lots of holes also the melted beads leaked out the frame.
I got almost the EXACT kit from Target, sold under a different name. Same materials and almost the same frames. Oddly enough, the photos on the one I got were actual results instead of digitally done pictures!
OMG. As a kid in the 80s I actually had a Make it and Bake it Oven... Which was basically an Easy Bake Oven for making sun catchers. My mom still has several of the Christmas ornaments I made with it. It was the coolest thing.
That ending. 😘 Chiefs kiss. Just marvellous! Haha now that I'm seeing it again, that burning plastic smell is seared into my memory. My nose hairs are burning still 😆
I really appreciate this series, I always got gifted craft kits as a kid, and they never worked! So it’s nice to see what they were missing, and how they could be better. Thank you guys for all your videos 💜
I made those when I was a kid and they worked awesome, ended up looking pretty similar to the resin, with not a perfectly flat surface, maybe some bubbles, but it worked. One of mine even has sparkles. I’d love to see a different kit be tried it can be so much better
Wow-- did these like back in the 1970s, and NEVER had bad results. Makes me wonder if they had to change the kind of plastic pellets used for health/toxic reasons. I must have made at least 10 of them. They were pretty and lasted a long time. As an adult I learned how to make real stained glass items for a hobby.
Magnificent transition to the oven A++ and i wonder if you had more beads maybe could have added more after a half melt when you start to see the gaps so then you could possibly pop the extra beads into the gaps? hmmmm.
I did these kits as a kid and it was so hard to get the beads to fully fill the cells. They definitely didn't give you enough beads either, especially not for four separate crafts.
This craft makes me think of the thermoplastic beads I use for cosplay. I wonder if I can achieve a similar affect with some clear worbla I have stashed in my craft room...
I also kinda like the derpy more you know star. 😂 And funny enough, I think that part of the unicorn where the hair is kind of sparce adds nice hair texture.
I kinda do love the look of the unicorn haha, it has an almost frosted glass texture to it and its pretty in the sunlight. Like its not completely solid, rippling out of reality XP
The other nice things about the kit are that it's safe for children, you don't have to wear gas masks, and if you mess up, you can't permanently wreck anything.
"safe" only until a point, melted thermoplastic is like napalm if it gets stuck to you, an adult has to be solely in charge of handing the hot sheet tray.
@@AreilKnight Yeah, I was one of those kids that had to learn the hard way myself, between grabbing the end of a lit sparkler, grabbing the bottom of a glass jar full of freshly melted wax, and plenty more incidents in between I have learned that kids and super heated items do not mix. Heck I'm 25 and just recently scarred myself using an air fryer. That is a kit that all it would take is one impatient kid and you've got melted plastic adhered to your hands
They all came out great lol the derpy- ness adds character. If you did the resin ones on textured paper it'd look more like store bought stained glass. It'd def be harder to seal but a more authentic look. Great content pog off queens yasss
When putting resin on flat metal things like this it really helps to use tape on the bottom instead of glue. Find a heat resistant strong tape and put it on the bottom. It’s way easier to remove then glue and will eat all of the little areas so there’s very little leakage between cells.

I noticed that transition too! I had to look at it again. It's really cool!
isn't that Kaitlyn lol@@EvanAndKatelyn2
I've done the melty ones before, you need to go with a 400F oven an HEAP the pellets into the cells. Rotate them once during baking as well.

I'd buy that.
Yes!! The second I saw it I thought "They should make that into a shirt"
To further prevent leaking when doing the resin one, you can stick the frame down onto the sticky side of some tape! That helps make a seal between each of the cavities
I was gonna say that and they could also put a thin layer of clear and cure it aswell
Putting it on a sillicone mat is also a decent seal
But that would make a weird texture, a base layer of clear is the best bet

i kind of love the melty bead grainy look ngl, i'm a sucker for texture
These were big in the 80s. Called ‘Makit & Bakit’. I loved making them.
I did this kit or something like this kit and it worked fantastic
Love when you guys make resin videos! They’re the best!

That oven transition was EVERYTHING
Excellent transition to the oven.
To be honest I actually really like how the kids kit turned out. I think the gaps make it look like some super cool super old stain glass.
I think the unicorn and the star accidentally came out more beautiful than the reference picture or the resin ones! ❤
I kinda liked the kit ones in the sun, they almost looked like they were made of Swarovski type crystals
The other nice things about the kit are that it's safe for children, you don't have to wear gas masks, and if you mess up, you can't permanently wreck anything.

that to the oven transition was pure fire
They all came out great lol the derpy- ness adds character. If you did the resin ones on textured paper it'd look more like store bought stained glass. It'd def be harder to seal but a more authentic look. Great content pog off queens yasss
The transition to the oven was fire!!
the kit ones might be textured, but i actually really like them! especially the unicorn, it came out lovely
That transition to the oven though!!!
The two of you make me laugh every video! Thank you for everything you do! Pure entertainment every time!! ❤️
When putting resin on flat metal things like this it really helps to use tape on the bottom instead of glue. Find a heat resistant strong tape and put it on the bottom. It’s way easier to remove then glue and will eat all of the little areas so there’s very little leakage between cells.
