The glass jug and silicone molds probably would be fine after very thorough washing because neither of these materials are porous, but it's good to be cautious.
The same for slime bc my friend made slime out of a food bowl and ate with the same bowl and didn’t come to school for a week, we FaceTimed and she told me that she got food poisoning. Be careful!
When you showed the little molds, I got the feeling you'll some day show up with an entire army of Ditto squishies 😆😆 So glad you put safety warnings in your videos! It's seemingly something small, but it's always good to see it!
Thank you! Yes, I really try to cover all the bases because the biggest risk are people doing things unsafely rather than the materials themselves. Microwaves in particularly are often not treated with the same caution as an oven or stove.
@@maqaroon I actually tried doing the first one, and make a pink cookie with white chocolate chips, I made a cookie mould months ago and found it, melted my mochis and it was so cool!
I'm pretty much 100% certain that the "Microwave reheatable" text is purely intended for the plastic container the wax came in, not the wax itself, but great vid nonetheless! Edit: Most generic plastic tubs are sold specifying that they are microwave safe. Just because the manufacturer of the product used these plastic tubs, doesn't mean it's necessary to microwave the product it is used for itself. Just like glue is labeled Non-toxic, just because it's labeled that way doesn't mean you *have* to eat it :)
04:36 The reversed imaging is written on the bottom of the plastic container, but the other “microwave reheatable” text looks like it is printed on the gel wax directly
@@Boredchinchilla No, pretty sure it was imprinted onto the wax from the plastic cover. At 3:56 you can see the cover is lifted and it says the text, and since it's embossed, it also impressed on the wax pressed onto the cover :)
@@keannaisles9001Yeah obviously? I'm not saying it has to be 🤦♂️ The point is, the manufacturer just used a generic plastic tub that happens to be microwave safe.
For painting your squishies, have you ever tried using fabric paint instead of acrylic? It might be a bit stretchier and may not crack as much as the acrylic :)
If you add fabric softener to regular acrylic paint it will make it flexible and soft feeling. You can also buy an additive in the craft store that will do the same thing by turning acrylic paint into fabric paint.
Even though these methods are rare, they actually seem pretty successful!! Especially compared to the fickleness of hitohada gel. This gives us DIYers a lot of hope
if you have a cat and they leave stray whiskers around, hold onto them, they make great very fine point detail brushes! Just don't pluck a whisker out of a cat, please
Thank you so much for the written and verbal safety warnings! My kiddos love your vids (I know u are not a kids channel) but the warnings were nice to see and hear. Thank you.
Thank you! It's always a tricky thing with YT videos trying to show methods that are exciting and entertaining but also hoping that people are sensible enough to use correction precautions if they redo them!
Depending on how long the package says it takes to decompose, I would love to see you put their claim to the test! You can see if it actually decomposes over time in water
It actually said 30mins! And I think it works because I left some of the leftover Ecolure soaking in water and it turned a strange white fuzzy texture.
I am not into making squishies, but I had to give the video a like based on the dedication to safety. There are so many DIY and "hack" videos out there now that are incredibly dangerous with no warnings on them. Thank you for making sure to stress that people should craft safely and know their limits!
These were such interesting ways to create squishes.(underrated RUclipsr here people) I love how you were very consistent to not try these methods would without out the proper equipments and I totally agree. Its very kind that your looking out for your viewers I appreciate it. Your voice was so calm, I enjoyed watching.The out comes of the mochie’s were adorable 10/10!!!! Keep up the good work
I forgot to mention it in the video but surprisingly, none of the three materials produced any noticeable fumes. Obviously I opened the windows afterwards to ventilate a bit but it was nowhere near the toxic level of melting Plastisol.
I'm super surprised that the melted mochis didn't! I have a pan that I do experiments with, and was melting them on the stove, I had to open all my windows and turn up the fans because they put off so much smoke. They didn't burn but they kept smoking.
One more thing about PYREX. You must make sure you have the right PYREX. There are two PYREX brands, one in capital letters and one in lower case. The lower case one cannot be used in the microwave or the oven. They are not made out of the same glass, and are cheaper. This is why people have had pyrex shatter or explode on them. PYREX is the special glass that can be safe at 300 degrees C, and although they are usually more expensive, they’re extremely versatile and hard to break. My PYREX measuring cup is one of the best things in my kitchen…Cus I can put hot or cold things in it, can put it in the microwave, and they’re pretty accurate. Also the lettering doesn’t rub off easily at all. If you’re not sure what your Pyrex is, check the label on it. Lower case means not safe at high temperatures, capital means you’re good.
Wow, I was always curious if I could melt mochis, but not brave enough to try it. Lol! Thanks for trying it and showing us. And also for being such a great RUclipsr. 😄
If you’re really concerned about overheating stuff in the microwave, use the “defrost” mode if your microwave has one. This setting is also great for softening cold cream cheese and butter for baking without melting it!
I forgot to mention in the video but it actually didn't give off any noticeable smell (Plastisol was 1000x worse). But of course, I opened windows afterwards to ventilate the room and I hope my viewers are sensible enough to do that same
Maqaroon,hope you see my suggestions :) 1 try drawing facial features on your squishies with Sharpies 2 i know slime is not a trend but mix orbeez 3 for a bit of nostalgia:make a clay cracing egg in three steps:1 make a yellowish orangesh ball,2wrap it in white clay and form an egg shape 3 cover with brown plaster like it is a shell and when it dries and gets cracked and the yolk is gonna be reviewed
It's sorta funny how much the fishing community has contributed to tbe artsy side of things with the bait gel and hackle feathers that were quite popular in hair
Out of all of them, I feel like the melted mochi method is the one I'll use since I already have a heck of a time measuring silicone rubber resin precisely. I already have the type of measurement cup mentioned along with a surplus of mochis for Chrismas. I just need to grab my gas mask, safety goggles, and my old microwave and then melt them slowly but surely. If there are any flaws, Maqaroon, please help, but if not, wish me luck!
Thank you!! I'm afraid I might have overlooked your comment as I would have definitely credited it as well, and it turned out to be a great suggestion 😄✨
I wonder if the double boiler method could be used to heat the mochi squishies instead of the microwave...seems like it would be less labor intensive and doesn't require specific equipment
hm… remember I dig monsters? Maybe you can try making a squishy with the gel that comes with it. I’m am not sure if it would work out… but you can try xd
Here’s a fun fact I learned about fish lures the other day. White lures with red tips are popular because they mimic a bleeding fish which attracts the bigger predator fish for more yield.
To everybody in the comments I definitely suggest that you listen about the safety precautions that she put in this video !!!! my clumsy self was making mac & cheese and I thought it would be a good idea to put boiling water in a glass measuring cup like the one that she has except a regular one… My mom got mad at me for being in the kitchen making mac & cheese but I told her “ well stop complaining because I did a really good job with this mac & cheese see“…. In that moment the glass that the boiling water was in exploded and got EVERYWHERE . I got hit by glass and the boiling water was everywhere nobody got hurt but it was definitely a surprise and let’s just say that was the last time I was allowed to do anything in the kitchen alone…… With that being said …. Some kids may mistake the glass she used as the regular kind u can find in ur cabinets and try to microwave it. That’s not a good idea ! If u see this comment stay safe ! God loves you and I hope u have a really great day 💗🙌!!!!!
I see pokemon, and I click. these are so cute! would love to make my own squishies one day! my brother is really into fishing and I'm more into art, so seeing the fish bait segment made me think of him. except if I made a fish bait squishy, I don't know if I'd be able to part with it!
You Always have the best and creative ideas when it comes to diy I hope u upload more of these rare ideas diy making videos 😊💜 ~Sending loves to You and Your loved one from India 🇮🇳
I’m curious, I’ve seen other craft artists on RUclips have like a dedicated toaster oven to use for baking crafts or heating up other things like Worbla I wonder if melting the mochi squishy’s would be possible in that?
I forgot to mention this but not really! There was a very faint smell of hot rubber/plastic but nowhere near as bad as the Plastisol, or what you'd typically expect from melting polymers
A painting method: have you thought about painting details like expressions and such into the molds itself using some of the squishy gel? Like you mix up the colors you want in small amounts so you don't waste too much of the rubber compound, paint it into the molds, wait like... 12 hours or something, then pour in the second color. Afterwards if you are careful not to bump the designs you'd painted on off the walls of the mold, yet the material is sticky enough to not blend/merge with the other squishy rubber, since I think that happens with some of this resin material if you were to pour two colors, amd I right? making them turn cloudy or something?
It's also important to mention that once you use these items for craft materials, you should NOT use them for food ever again!
The glass jug and silicone molds probably would be fine after very thorough washing because neither of these materials are porous, but it's good to be cautious.
Ha ha ha ha ah ah ah
no give grandma to eat for likes on instagram ...

Thanks for the shout out :D Im so glad these worked so well! Loved how that ditto looked a shiny!
Yay glad you saw this vid! 😁 Thanks for the ideas
@@maqaroon personally im never using plastisol again😅. Mochi squishies are so much softer and smell way less bad.
Been enjoying your videos for over 7 years now I’m so happy to watch your channel grow! Hope you and your family are doing well! ❤️
Thank you! Really appreciate the support 🥰

Or a mixture of both!
it might peel right off
Even though these methods are rare, they actually seem pretty successful!! Especially compared to the fickleness of hitohada gel. This gives us DIYers a lot of hope
Yes, the big bonus of these are never having to worry about mixing ratios 😂
if you have a cat and they leave stray whiskers around, hold onto them, they make great very fine point detail brushes! Just don't pluck a whisker out of a cat, please
Wow,I did not know that🤣
just don't?
I never even thought about how squishy Ditto variations would look like. It's so cute!

Wear a respirator being a well ventilated area if you're melting plastic.
Sort of surprised that was never mentioned in the safety bit tbh.

The ditto waving at the end was so cute, my heart swelled 🥰😍 Very profesional and intriguing diy, as always. Great job 😄
i’m so glad you gave adequacy warnings about safety. too many DIY channels skip this and have been causing injuries 😰
@derek.thomas00 hello?
I’ve loved your Chanel for years thanks for being awesome 💗💗
If you’re really concerned about overheating stuff in the microwave, use the “defrost” mode if your microwave has one. This setting is also great for softening cold cream cheese and butter for baking without melting it!
You can peel the paint details off before microwaving, so you don’t have to remove it when it’s melted
I forget about your channel alot but everytime I see it in my recommended ik it's gonna be Mellow and fun. Always look forward to it
I dont think you should melt the mochi squishy as you dont know whats in it and chemicals may evaporate, i wonder if it smelled while melting it
I was wondering this too!
I forgot to mention in the video but it actually didn't give off any noticeable smell (Plastisol was 1000x worse). But of course, I opened windows afterwards to ventilate the room and I hope my viewers are sensible enough to do that same
@@maqaroon great to hear!
I don't make or plan to make these squishies. I am just here for weird crafting videos that I love watching on RUclips.
I also think the glitter candle wax the best It looks so pretty😍😍😍
Maqaroon,hope you see my suggestions :)
1 try drawing facial features on your squishies with Sharpies
2 i know slime is not a trend but mix orbeez
3 for a bit of nostalgia:make a clay cracing egg in three steps:1 make a yellowish orangesh ball,2wrap it in white clay and form an egg shape 3 cover with brown plaster like it is a shell and when it dries and gets cracked and the yolk is gonna be reviewed

I was the one who recommended this idea thank you for actually doing it
Thank you!! I'm afraid I might have overlooked your comment as I would have definitely credited it as well, and it turned out to be a great suggestion 😄✨
Your DIYs are Incredibly cute and
your channel is the only channel I saw which give safety warnings and precautions
I wonder if the double boiler method could be used to heat the mochi squishies instead of the microwave...seems like it would be less labor intensive and doesn't require specific equipment
I was thinking the same!
Idk if that microwave is specifically for crafting, but can we talk about how clean it is? I mean jeez- that thing is shiny XD
hm… remember I dig monsters? Maybe you can try making a squishy with the gel that comes with it.
I’m am not sure if it would work out… but you can try xd
Ty for making the ditto community just a little bigger :)
The candle gel looks so satisfying to squish straight out of the packet! 😁
I love Ditto, so seeing it made into a squishy is just all the more satisfying!
literally crying bc of how adorable the end part was 🥲
Your videos are so satisfying and love to watch and learn new things every week. ❤️💗💜💕

i knew that little clay ditto would make an appearance as a mold! loving the pokemon diys ❤️❤️
I love your channels so much!😍😍😍😍
Omg your so creative I love this video! (and all your videos)
Poor mochies!
FR i felt bad when I saw the mochis being melted 😅
Literally me💀
i am waching your videos again and again so good
You could also melt wax by boiling hot water and then putting the wax in a heat resistant bowl and mixing.
Wow, the idea in this video is so cool. I really like your video
I wonder if cutting the mochi squishies into smaller pieces would make for quicker, more even heat distribution?
They look like ditto! So cute
your videos are so calm and full of little happy things which i really need right now, theyre so nice to watch to fall asleep
I cannot believe that you are so incredible with your creativity!!!
Wow this was Soo cool love your vids❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
finally a diy video with proper warnings. good job!
So cute and very nice idea!! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Love all the squishies!! The ditto mold is especially cute🙌
Thank you for trying this!! 😆😆
this is definitely rly cool!!
Pretty creative. I love squishies!
Thanks 👍... very nice and useful video 👍😊
I love the ditto molds and I love ur vids even more
I would love to see more eco friendly squishies
So little squishy things are so cute😉
I see pokemon, and I click. these are so cute! would love to make my own squishies one day!

I think the microwave reheatable print on the candle gel may have been an imprint from the container it was in lol
Nail art brushes are perfect for tiny details! I love these!!
Mochi squishes:don't met us you used to love us!!
Her: now I made the squishes
Could you maybe try jelly soap gel if you haven’t already?
Ah, so this is what the Ditto was for, so cute.
NEW SUBSCRIBER !!😊. LOVE your videos I’ve seen about 4 for the first time and they are awsome
Her voice is so calm 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌
F in the chat for the melted mochis
F
I loved the little wrinklly blob ig is so cute 😊
loved the video❤
You should make a clear mochi with another opaque mochi inside!
love your diy
The first one is too cute
I love your voice queen😮💨
That’s so cool :0
The moci one is hard to work with but it is more efficient!
You Always have the best and creative ideas when it comes to diy I hope u upload more of these rare ideas diy making videos 😊💜

Bravo 👏 i commend your constant safety warnings ⚠️
The squishy‘s are pretty detailed and cute
Wax is so much fun! And you can play with it over and over again!
5:23 so satisfying
I’m curious, I’ve seen other craft artists on RUclips have like a dedicated toaster oven to use for baking crafts or heating up other things like Worbla I wonder if melting the mochi squishy’s would be possible in that?
I absolutely adore those miniscule Metamons. Ditto's just an inherently cute design!
Did microwaving the mochi squishies cause any kind of smell?
I forgot to mention this but not really! There was a very faint smell of hot rubber/plastic but nowhere near as bad as the Plastisol, or what you'd typically expect from melting polymers
So satisfying when she cutting the jelly thingy
You rlly had to sacrifice these good squishies for this vid 😭
i honestly like the sticky mochies the most and the brand mochie i figered out how to make it sticky by rincing it and playing with ot
This is really cool I like it
I love the green of the lure Ditto. Alternative Ditto shiny? 🤣

Shiny ditto that you?
I appreciate you putting a warning message in your videos. Not enough diy/craft channels do this.
Does it work when we fill it with water?
I love your vids your amazing
I have always thought about melting my squishes but never did because I knew it was dangerous
