I feel the pan has earned its own introduction.
Noted!!! If we ever get this thing cleaned no one will recognize it..lol
Try Bartenders Keeper to clean the pan. It's an amazing cleaner and used for lots of things. If that don't work have you tried oven cleaner
agreed with @Kimwhite9574
And a name/title!!
The pink stuff in container is awesome, the spray is for everyday cleaner.
Girl, you absolutely crack me up!! Every time you say " Let's bring in the ..." I laugh so hard!! Keep on doing the things you do. We love you absolutely!! And YES I'm a little bit crazy for using so many !!!! At least I can admit it!!
I agree! My favorite crafter's all have a great sense of humor like Brandi!
Pink is awesome 👌 👏 ❤
Good hacks. Love the one you can pop the paint out
Food coloring and mod podge makes buetiful stand glass
Thanks Brandi
Had fun 🙂
I like the orange cleaner from the dollar store…sorry, the $1.25 store 😆. I love these types of videos.
Way TOO go!!😁
Great hacks.😀👍👍👍
I missed getting to talk to everyone while watching this...had a great time Wednesday....or Tuesday....had a great time this week 😂😂
Thanks so much for stopping by Dana! Enjoy your weekend!
@@thediystruggle ❤️❤️❤️
Love the hacks. Thank you for sharing.💜💜
LoL! 😂 your hacks had me laughing for a minute until I saw the hack on your mirror I almost cried because I know trying new products sometimes can be a struggle but I always tell my husband and boys you learn from it and try it one more time. I love that pop up thing you use for your paint I hope too find one. Your so funny and you make my day or night very happy and that is what we need right now I know I do.
I’m just now watching been out shopping 🥰
Brandi love your hacks. Good time watching you.❤❤
You can spray oven cleaner on your backing sheet. Set it outside overnight. In the morning, clean it. It will be much much cleaner. 🥰 😊😊😊
interesting, thank you!
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Hey girl 1st I never did try using the Pink stuff I love watching these hack videos though friend
Great tips!
I would use oven cleaner on that pan with a mask on. That's me though. I dont have problems with chemicals not that I use them much. The food coloring is something I've tried a few months back making tissue paper flowers. I used pink, red and green. The color is pale but the green was the best. I changed to using watered down paint instead. The food coloring doesn't give much color. You had me rolling with that little fidget thing. My granddaughter was sllowed to have fidgets in school class due to ADD. Thats a great paint palette. Thanks for the fun. I hope you don't have much problems with your beautiful mirror.
For the cookie sheet...try a paste of baking soda, Dawn, and hydrogen peroxide. Let it soak a bit then scrub. Worked on my pans. Hit the trim around my tub with this paste and freaking removed paint. Did not intend to remove the paint. 😖
Good hacks. I do not like the Pink stuff-not a great cleaner, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Until your next video.
Use the Pink Stuff all the time. Love your videos
The brown stain worked ok.
I used the pink paste and a scotch bite pad and it absolutely worked, on all my baked on greasy pans. I rubbed it on. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then ued warm water and, it scrubbed right off.
Ima need to get this paste..lol
I love all your hacks Brandi, at least you give them a go to see if they work or not. I don’t use any chemicals at home. I use something called KOH but not sure if you can buy it anywhere but Australia. It is just like water and can be used on EVERYTHING. No smell and it would clean your tray but you’d have to use it a couple of times and lots of elbow grease. I’ve had a putrid oven that I’ve sprayed and left for a while then used a diamond scrubber, like what we use sometimes for sand paper but not as rough and it cleaned it great. The glass door came up fantastic too. If it’s not too bad you can just use a microfibres cloth or one of there cloths that come with the product. I use it in my shower, on the tiles and the glass, my toilet, my floor with a spray mop that has a few drops of essential oil in the water, my house smells incredible for a couple of days, I spray it on my benches just everywhere. It comes in a cask like wine lol, but you can’t drink it while you’re cleaning. Two men made it and lots of people use it. Sorry for the long comment but I love the stuff. Thanks for sharing your hacks. I love these videos, well I love ALL your videos.
That last hack (in the art world) is called fratauge. Supposedly invented/named by Max Ernst a German surrealist artist. You might also want to use charcoal or a heavy pencil
Girl!!! You are so pretty!! Love your hacks but also love ALL your videos and projects. 😊🙏
I did the changing color of flowers as a little girl. My great grandparents did all sorts of cool lil hacks with me growing up.. AND IT WORKS! ....you have to put them in a vase with water(like normal) but food coloring in that water. Hope you try it! This brings back great memories, i really needed some positive thoughts, thank you! P.S. I just found your channel and I am Bing watching everything! You rock! Keep being awesome! ❤
Bars maid on the pan will clean it up like new
Another thing to get a tub with Jets or hard water stains in toilet bowls, I use Polident tablets. Works incredibly well. Sometimes I even put some into the back tank of the toilet. Sometimes, as I raised 4 boys, the kids bathroom I would use it in the tub with it full of water. My 2 daughters complained about their messy brothers sometimes the tablets needs time to activate but you can buy the tablets in a box at Dollar Tree. I needed budget-friendly ideas as raising 6 children on an enlisted Marine Corps pay is NOT a easy thing.
Brandi, you would have had much better results with the last hack if you had used a much darker leaded pencil , or a black pencil crayon. I've been doing this since they taught us this trick in elementary school and I've never had a problem. Just don't use a regular crayon for this unless you actually want the wax showing. (I've made that mistake too).
Thanks for the tip Pauline! I was just doing it how I seen it and used what I had available!
Purple power is an excellent degreaser. You do have to scrub though.
I watch you Australia love your sense of humour you are so gorgeous have helped me do stuff xx
I have done the computer tracing hack. I don't have a printer either so it works great!!
I was also not that impressed with the pink stuff. Like you, I thought definitely not a miracle cleaner!
Hi! I’ve seen on another channel, we’re she used oven cleaner on her well loved baking pans and put it in the oven and let it go on self clean. And her pan came out real good, yes she rinsed it .
Hey, Brandi 🧡🍂🍁. The best cleaner/degreaser I have found is called Super Clean. I got it from Amazon. It’s really amazing to me! Food coloring is made for food 😂. Great font hack! I sure hope your beautiful mirror turns out great ❤
Hey girlie!!! I am still scraping this mirror..lol its killer on my carpul tunnel
@@thediystruggle ohmygoodness, that’s terrible!!! Please don’t hurt yourself too bad! That mirror is gorgeous, though ❤️
Loved❤️❤️
Thanks Brandi!!!! 😊💖💖💖💖💖
The pink stuff in the little tub would be much better for the 2 projects that you did
Omg the mirror hack 😩
I KNOW, I had someone say they think that i needed to use more of it! * sigh... lessons have been learned!
@@thediystruggle I don’t think I would have used it all 🤣🤣 that mirror is beautiful I would have been too nervous
It’s usually a good time watching your videos. I held by breath the entire time you were fiddling with that mirror. I was praying that you had already tried that on something else. Yes-I know the video and the mirror results were already over so … I know that you know the answer to the cleaner question. Dr. Bronners. Thanks for the Friday night fun.
I love dr Bronners! I just started using Natives products... I am loving them
I use easy off oven cleaner on my pots and pans ..
I need to write that down
Hello Everyone!
I find food coloring is best in frosting 😂
Fun times. 😂😂I want to go to the craft den 🦇🃏
Craft cave!!! LOL
I know this probably sounds crazy but try using the scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner on your stove let it sit 5-10 minutes it is the best cleaner ever! Idk if it'll work on your pan but it'll definitely work on the stove
you are so funny you put a smile on my face
When I was little, we used food color with a little vinegar to die eggs. I wonder if the flowers would dye better with a little vinegar.
❤
I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE using the PC to get a print onto projects! Fantastic ❤
Such a great idea!!!
LOL, just an FYI. I have the same stove and Fantastik works great with a little.soft scrub around the gunky parts.
😂😂😂😂the craft cave❤
I actually have the whole line of The Pink Stuff. I haven't used the paste yet.
You can take the tissue paper and tape it to computer paper and then run it throu you printer. also can just print on regular paper and do this same thing.
As long as your printer don't mess it up!!
I had a major fail this week. Tried to make fabric bowls with mod pudge. I’m going to try to salvage them, but it’s a fail.
Oh nooo, I am so sorry to hear that! I hate when crafts go wrong!!
A few days ago i used a heart silicone ice maker for my wons paints. The one where there is 10 smaller hearts and is taller. It worked great. I dis not even see the tiktok hack sonce i dnt fo on there at all. It is much easier to clean tho. For sure!
That is a great idea too! Same material ya know? I bet it worked like a gem!
Run the sponge through a dishwasher. You'd be amazed at how it cleans the sponge, and the hot water kills germs
My sponge would probably look like a cotton ball by the time the dishwasher was done with it..lol
Hi, the water to food color ratio was way too high, use way less water next time. On the font copy hack, it works much better to use softer lead to cover the back of letters (much darker) when you trace over it it will transfer much more clearly. Also, saw a hack for cleaning cookie sheets (they always look grungy no matter the scrubbing!). Cambriea from utube put them bottom side up on the oven racks and turned on the self cleaning oven mechanism. They looked fantastic! Hope this helps. Love your channel!
I love all these tips gurrrllll! Thank you so much! I have heard the self cleaning tip! I think my stove is to cheap to have one..lol I am the self cleaner..lol
I have used the masking stuff with acrylic paints and it worked fabulous
Yeah, I'm deff wondering if it was the spray paint
HAHA... I tried the computer screen tracing on a touch screen without disabling the touch screen option... You should've seen my dumb A$$ doing that 😂😂😂 these were all super cool hacks!
HAHAHA!! I got way to much of a kick out of that!
Brandi Brandi Brandi you are cracking me the hell up with the mirror and I’m thinking why is she sampling on an entire mirror? I know you go all out but hey the smaller test pieces the smaller the clean up when it doesn’t work. Note to sell girlie: DT little mirror……your welcome 😂😂😂😂 thanks for testing so we don’t have to.
Can’t wait for my TDS to come super excited 💯
haha!! Oh no i had to try this on my stunning vintage mirror I wanted to redo..lol
Great tips Brandi! Thank you ❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping g by Susan
I saw someone use an old deck of cards, they placed the cards between the edge of the mirror or edge of the frame. Then painted and pulled out the card. So no taping involved.
You don't have to trace it on tissue paper you can actually just print the word and font out on printer paper and do the same thing on the back with the pencil and the put it on your project trace the wording and you get the same results
That's a great idea too! I do have an audience that doesn't have printers though! So, it's nice they can have options if they can't afford printers!!
I tried the "Pink Stuff" toilet bowl cleaner, and it didn't work at all!! I also thought it stunk, so it went straight into the trash!!
What was the food coloring drops ratio you used for the stain?
I think I started with 4 of each and then added more blue and red.. i swatched it on a paper towel untill it looked brown.. I was worried about adding more of the lighter color and getting a green
❤️ ❤❤❤
From my understanding, the pink stuff has to be the paste version. Their original stuff thier spary version isn't anywhere near as good.
As for food coloring changing the petals a different color, I have only know that to work with live fresh cut ones. It's how they get carnations green for st. Patrick's day
The gel food coloring comes it alot if colors I have brown in mine lol now I'm gonna try the food coloring stain thing. Also that food coloring not good haha when u do eggs you have to use warm water and vinegar to get it to color eggs haha. Also tracing font color chalk works good too. Like ya channel
That liquid tape stuff I saw someone else use it and said that you have to apply a thick layer....granted she didn't use spray paint.
Yeah, I should have questioned the entire thing with the spray paint but ya know you trust what the internet says..lol so i went YOLO on that joint..lol
@@thediystruggle😂😂😂
I use denture cleaner
🤔 I wonder if you add vinegar to the food coloring and water (like doing Easter eggs), if that'd work better???
I love that idea!
Love your hack videos!❤
Thank you!!!
I swear by the Pink Stuff but I use the paste… I didn’t even know they had a spray?!!
Try ritz fabric dye to dye the flower petals works better and not too much wayer i think you had more water and not enough dye but ritz dyes better
Try the Brillo Basics Dish Spray(Dollar Tree) is an incredible cleaner. Compared to Dawn Power Spray, 😊works better.
I would have used a razor on the dried gooey stuff on mirror. Hope it wasn’t horrible trouble for you. ❤️
Where did you get the thingy you used as a paint pallet, looks like an ice cube tray???? Watching now was late getting home.😟🤗
It's a pop it..lol 5 below!!
It’s a popper for anxiety or ADD.. they have them in all different shapes etc
Resist does work bettter, thicker.
Did you try The bar keeper's friend?
TFS❤
I have not! I need to look into it! Thank you!
I’ve used the pink stuff , was not impressed lol. SOS Brillo pads works best for my stove
Have you tried spray 9? I love that stuff too
@@thediystruggleI’ve never heard of that one
Do you have any videos on cleaning cabinets? I used the orange cabinet cleaner on mine and they now have a film on them that I can’t get off.
I do not. But, I personally like a tiny bit of vinegar water and baking soda.
Then I wash off with hot water. And, I like Murphy oil wipes
@@thediystruggle thank you
👋🏻😀
Have you tried AWSOME on that pan ? AWSOME and a magic eraser I have found will clean nearly anything.
Oven cleaner and saran wrap on top of the cookie sheet. Prevents it from drying out and presto chango new cookie sheet. I need to do mine again. It's been a minute. lol Edited to say that it can work in a couple of hours to 24 hours. depends on the level of nasty cruddy stuffs you are trying to get off. lol
Used the pink stuff also. Not impressed 😢
That gooey stuff says to use with water based mediums...maybe that's what was wrong??
Is your mirror really ivory, as in elephant tusks?
I was told by the reseller that it was ivory! That's all the information I have for you. It's a very very OLD AND HEAVY mirror. I loved the design.
Nothing is better then 409 if it's real bad 409 and a SOS pad
If I go chemical and really want to remove things I go spray 9! That stuff is unbelieable!
pink stuff DOES NOT WORK AT ALLLLLL!!!!!🙄
You can just tape the tissue paper to a piece of printer paper and send it thru printer and let the printer do the work lol
Love ASMR
Love you
@@thediystruggle miss you girl
I wonder if alcohol ink would be better than food coloring?
Thats a good idea! I have some of that stuff too!!!
I’m new here and loving ur videos! I gotta know, are u from Louisiana?
I am originally from Baltimore! I'm in Pennsylvania now!!! Welcome, Welcome!!
And what if you used less water with the food color for more colorful results!🤔🤔
Hmmmm…interesting! I don’t do instagram, wondering how the mirror turned out..😊
Hey Mary! I did not finish it yet! I try to put that in videos because long term people can always find stuff like that on facebook or my IG! I dont keep posts long on my community tab but I will post it here on RUclips when I am finished it! I would love to work on it today actually!
Hey girl I do Facebook, I’ll look for you on there! 😀
Oh husband said just Vaseline the entire mirror until done then wipe off
WHAT???
I have got to try this next time i spray paint a mirror!
