I Tested The DUMBEST Art Hacks Of 2022...

[@katiealleena2049]

Oh the flower one is based on a real dying process -- but in that, the shirt is usually soaked all the way through in a copper pot first, then they'd place the flowers and roll up the shirt and leave it for awhile so the natural pigments in the flowers can seep through. It's called botanical bundle dyeing. :D

Rae, the aluminum foil hack will work but you have to be touching the aluminum foil. I actually made a stylus out of a nib on a toothbrush with a bread twist tie when I was in a pinch once. You have to touch the aluminum foil so that the electrical current is carried from your finger to the pad.

1:30 this art hack is also fake bc the colours that come out are literally markers or highlighter or whatever type of MARKER that is. Like that’s not a colour pencil

[@MadXStitcher]

The flower thing DOES work, but it really depends on the flowers/leaves you use. I remember doing this in school when we were learning how people in Ye Olden Times made dyes and stuff

[@Grigeral]

Probably get a much better impression using a press though

[@Pehmokettu]

When I was a child in late 1980's I learned from some kid's TV program that you can draw with flowers or other plants. But of course it recommended that an adult helps you choose the plants because some plants are very rare and should be protected and some can be poisonous. And a small child may not always understand which plants are OK to take so no stealing flowers from someone's flower bench.
I just used some wild plants from my neighbourhood. It was a fun art project but it was much easier to just use regular crayons. :)

[@Blick_Art]

This video did not disappoint, we are in tears with laughter! Artists everywhere felt your pain with that balloon cup! Honestly, our reaction to the cotton swab marker hack was WHY??? We have so many actual markers that are so nice to use and so affordable! We're not going to get on our soap box and preach about wasting spaghetti in a painting though, because there is documentary evidence of us doing art with pasta. Oh, and we're not proud of it, but there is now just a tiny chance a few of of us might be gluing stuff to our fingers now... FOR ART!!!

Loved the video! But I must say, as a broken ass artist the foil hack does work! But you'd have to touch the foil while using it, also I add cotton for the tip and a bit of what, just to keep it humid to conduct electricity (there's some science behind). That's how I draw on my cellphone 😂

[@alexgade4512]

it depends on what kind of touchscreen device you use :) theres resistive and capacitive screens. Resistive screens will react to pressure, while capacitive screens will react to a current.
Apple devices are capacitive, so they'll only react to products that emit a specific current, hence why the foil trick wont work on them (the foil conducts a current, but its nothing the ipad can pick up)

[@4Rgames]

"a bit of what"

[@blehblehblehhh]

Also you can take an empty pen body (without the refill) and wind a copper wire longitudinally through it and add the cotton swab at the tip… that would make a stylus… the only problem is that you constantly need to moisten the cotton tip in order for it to conduct electricity

[@blehblehblehhh]

@@alexgade4512idk mine actually worked well 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lib4313]

The water balloon/glass hack actually does work. Your brush hole was at the edge rather than the middle then tipped the glass to the side the hole was. Also probably needed a little less water. Not the greatest hack if you don't want to take the time to make sure it's right, but if you're extra clumsy, it's definitely a good idea.

[@BMS453]

Plus I think she used a cup with too wide an opening and it was plastic that won’t hold its shape. If she used a hard plastic cup with a smaller opening it prob would have worked better.

[@solarthealienclown]

She didn’t use the kind of balloon in the video

[@jadewest6374]

@@velocityraptor9270Well tbh it’s pretty dangerous to use a glass cup for that hack anyway because the pressure of the balloon holding on the rim could cause the glass cup to break since that is where the glass is the weakest. She most likely should have used a hard plastic cup

She needed a glass cup

[@zaynab7013]

Ok tbh, I did the flower thing one afternoon and it actually did work. I didn’t put anything over the flowers, and I mostly used the darkest ones I could find, but yeah. I mean ofc it didn’t look like an actual flower, it was more abstract, and also… it disappeared as soon as I washed it, but that was only to be expected lol. It would be a good way to occupy kids in the holidays tho

The anti-spill paint cup does work, you just have to cut the balloon farther up and make sure the hole is in the middle.

[@mustafamahmood3511]

The Digital Stylus hack does work, have to be touching the foil with your hand for it to work its something to do with the electrical currant in your hand and the foil being a conductor. also a better way is to some cotton attach it to a wooden doddle wrap the whole thing in foil nice and tight. Finally slightly dampen the cotton and your good to start digitally drawing, plus wont scratch your tablet/ipad ... Sorry for the brief science lesson lol

[@boofan69]

I know right and no need to say sorry it helps me so thank you 😊

[@Leharfri]

I think the Aluminium foil pen works, if your fingers are touching the foil. so take a larger piece to wrap the place where you grip as well.

[@silverpalm]

Was just about to come to the comments to say this haha. The foil should work because of how touch screens work, our bodies have a tiny bit of electricity in em, and that's why fingers work, and why an apple pencil needs to be charged. So if you're touching the foil, it can conduct the electricity into the end and "should" work. It does depend on the brand and what your foil is actually made of tho

On the wet wipe, q-tip, marker hack, was that gel food coloring you were using? It looked like it. If so, I think the liquid might have worked better although I still don't know why anybody would want to do this. Water-based markers are very cheap. 😂

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

not as cheap as q-tips, wet wipes and food dye.

[@Mai_228]

The digital art one actually works if you use a cotton swab, put the tiniest amount of water on the tip and instead of completely involving the tip with the foil you wrap it around the tip so that it barely touches the screen. The combo foil + water creates a tiny eletric potential that reacts on more sensitive screens and I actually did a drawing that way once. It's far from perfect and you don't get much of a precision buuuut if you do it the right way it will work

[@breamakesart4543]

I think the flower hack would work better with something other than a carnation. Carnations are often colored by putting them in water colored with food coloring. I would think that the natural coloring on a flower would dye better. The aluminum foil hack will work if you are touching it...because the screen detects an electrical charge, and your hand will put out that charge, and be transferred via the aluminum foil. I don't recommend.

[@AnotherMADCreation]

The flower trick does work, but you have to have a solid surface like a wood plank under it and you have to really go ham on it and hit it as hard as you can until you feel like you’ve mashed the flowers and leaves into liquid form…..then it works, it’s a cool crafty project for kiddos.

[@Linnzy]

1. Not the Broccoliiii!
2. Could've used the flowers for potpurri or pressing them for bookmarks.
3. The diy pencil for the ipad, I think Jazza did test that one and it worked but I think there was something more to it than just foil (?) I'm not sure, I'm pulling out a vague memory.
4.The phonecase, let's pretend there was no issue with clogged holes and such, wouldn't the drued paint become sticky as soon as the phone gets warm ?

[@astrinymris9953]

You can buy anti-spill paint cups at any school/daycare supply store! They're also available at many department stores and art supplies store. It's harder to find them sold individually than as a set, but they're still not super expensive. And if you absolutely can't find them in your area, you can superglue an appropriately-sized funnel to a cup.

[@Chi.jubilee]

I’ve done the balloon glass one with small children, you need a sturdier plastic cup, and also a smaller rim cup. It does work and it works well with children who like to knock things over all the time.

[@kimcrawford7620]

Hey Rae. Just a note on the flower on to tshirt hack…. It will work on paper though. I’ve done it many times. The flowers transfer but with a different colour and it’s soooo pretty. But you really have to hit it hard!!!!

[@taniarahman916]

for the hack to prevent water spilling, it worked in the video because they put less water so when it tilted, it wasn't the same level as the whole through the balloon.

The broom hack makes a lot of sense tho, the bristles are hard and sturdy so they could easily hold pencils that pretty much weighs nothing 😅

[@megan_bond]

For the tape roll cup holder, you do not want to use painter's tap because it is low-tac. If you use a roll of high strength permanent tape (like duct tape), it should work no problem. You would have to worry about the tape tearing if it is a tearable tape, so you would probably need to reinforce the tape in those cases.

[@melindarivera6598]

And on the aluminum one for the ipad, not that I recommend EVER doing this 😂😭 but if it has any chance of working, your finger would have to touch the aluminum while you're drawing.
