2021/10/22 Update: we found a cloud lamp kit at a craft store... so of course we had to buy it and compare our experience with it to our experience of building Floodle. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/1bq-ockwads/видео.html
Do you have any part list for your builds? I'm a competent Diyer. Your video + a list of material could be enough to do my own Floodle! or any other projects. I think it would be convenient to have either links to the leds for example. Or like Adam Savage do, have amazon lists :) Thanks! Happy crafting to you!!
Lol yeah same, i have a google mini next to my desk since im normally playing games or watching yt that covers the time and date on my pc. Plus, i can play while watching these vids :D
I'm a mechanical engineering student and seeing him "descend into madness" was the most relatable thing I've ever seen. I've been there dude, I've been there and I know that pride of finally getting it to work.
I'm going to school for software engineering and I feel that on a personal level. So many times I've just thrown my face to my keyboard. "IT SHOULD WORK, THIS IS SO SIMPLE! WHY IS IT NOT WORKING?!?!"
E&Ks sponsor skits are the only sponsor messages on youtube that I don't skip... in fact, today I returned to this video (for the umpteenth time) specifically to watch the ad and hear Katelyn yell "IT'S FLOODLE!"
me too! especially since I saw one of the newer videos in which they were talking about Floodle. This means the lamp is in fact, to this day, called Floodle and they refer to it as such and I'm totally here for this type of shenanigans.
I said it once and I’ll say it again- you guys REALLY need to make durability and quality separate categories. Like, think of it in cups. Regular old cups. If you have one plastic cup and one glass one, the plastic cup is obviously more durable. But the glass cup is _obviously_ higher quality. In some cases (not all), what makes something higher quality might also make it less durable. Collector’s items, for example, that children shouldn’t play with because they weren’t made for that, vs kid's toys that are designed to be beat up.
very old comment, and i would agree have buy vs diy be about anything other than funky home decor. the vast majority of what they tackle is that, overpriced gimmicky decor, and with decoration, durability IS quality, because the function is all the same: to look good, to decorate. when that is it's only fucntion and you're not meant to be handling it too much anyways, i think durability and quality can be the same category, because quality decoration is only about how many spring cleanings it can take until it turns ugly.
@@s.i3na I don't understand what you disagree with? The first part of my statement was just facts.... Did you find a cloud puff light on Amazon that had a better rating then 3 stars? I was pointing out there are no cloud lights on Amazon that have good reviews so the one they choose to buy was still their best guess for a good buying option. Because buying on Amazon is just making a guess, no matter how much research goes into it. The highest rated one on Amazon was 20 bucks and with 3 stars for some ☁️ that were tinny. Or do you just morally disagree with buying from AliExpress?
I love how after adding all of the more expensive items to the DIY cloud, it still would be cheaper than the "cheap" bought cloud. Also looked simple and fun to do!
6:18 when Evan says "You wanna give it a try?" I was NOT expecting Katelyn to sing "I have a structured settlement and I need cash now!" 😂 Thanks for making me laugh Katelyn (and Evan, always
I appreciate how organic you guys are! Y’all give off a cool vibe that doesn’t feel forced or staged. You both are funny and sweet and creative and original!
But then, purchased products will always win in the “effort” category, while DIYs will generally win with “time”, so that whole category really is kinda pointless.
I guess the purchased products will win in the effort category but I think that's the point, when you're considering a buy vs diy you have to consider the time and effort it will take to buy the materials, get the equipment, and put it all together. So while it might be an obvious category it is still a necessary one.
Also it may be good to note that the $3,300 cloud which they use for comparison takes 4-6 weeks to be made and delivered, so that may also be a greater time/effort commitment than the cloud from amazon and the diy cloud
I would have recommended putting either heat shrink tubing, electrical tape, or some hot glue over the solder connections to ensure that no shorting occurs.
Me watching evan rambling about what was wrong with the connection, then noticing his shirt said “words are hard” i legit spit my drink cuz nothing in this world makes more sense than that.
When you revealed the fully covered cloud and it started lighting up I thought it was CG for a second! It looks amazing! I could definitely see myself making a mini version of this even with my limited skill set. Thank you both so much for all the great content!!!
Me too. I'm in the process of building my daughtet a bookshelf, secret door. She's wanted one forever. When that project is done🤞🏼, I really want to try this.
And that is why "quality" should not just be durability, because even if the turd one is easier to dust/ ship/ move that doesn't mean it's a better quality. A good turd is not higher quality than a mediocre cloud.
That's my worry, plus dust. In college I attached white sheets and Christmas lights to the ceiling so it looked like a cloudy sky with distant stars. Once we were tired of it, we took it down and found *aaaalllll* the daddy long legs plus dust galore. Still worth it.
I imagine someone else has mentioned this method already but we made one of these and used spray adhesive instead of hot glue. We found the hot glue cooled too quickly and it was very slow going getting the polyfill covering to stick well, not to mention we were burning through sooo many sticks. But the spray was super quick and a can goes a long, long way. A base coat made it easy to affix the polyfill all over instead of to lines of hot glue only, and you can use it to build up and layer more polyfill on top of itself too. Maybe this will be helpful to someone!
Evan's scatterbrainedness tinkering is exactly what it looks like inside my brain and I was so happy for him and his systematic problem solving and attention to detail
Most DIY’ers don’t include time because DIY is usually a passion project type of things. We don’t pay ourselves for the time we take to do stuff we are passionate about. It’s not a job but rather a labor of love.
@@criostasis Time spent DIY:ing stuff like this is money spent on having fun. Cutting the lawn or cleaning however is where you should put a monetary value on your time.
Why don’t you have at least a million subs? You are my favorite build channel! You make things so easy to recreate with the amount of instruction you give and how much you break things down into laymen’s terms.

Congrats, I think that's the first-ever in-video ad that I not only watched the whole way though but actually spat coffee out from laughing. "It's FLOODL...beep" Also, I'm really sorry Evan but I really thought that the buy one was yours on the Patreon vote. I should have known better.
The DIY shape is a perfect cloud! And I love the interactive lights and it looks like actual “heat lightning” you see inside or behind clouds, just in color. BUT, you should take some brown alcohol ink in a spray bottle and make the other into an actual turd lamp!
Their love for efficiency and great reactions to things makes me kinda curious what it would be like to see them do a product testing video (like Kitchen gadgets and such) - I imagine it wouldn't be as good as their project videos where they get to create things and bring their own ideas to life, but could be interesting.
I’ve never seen a RUclips channel that has as amazing Ads as this channel does. You guys make the best ads ever!! They always keep me interested and laughing so hard.. They are so creative and hilarious!!
Evan talking about burning his hand on hot glue when he was younger reminded me of when my friend purposefully stuck the metal end of the hot glue gun on my hand. We were about 10 and apparently she "didn't think it would be that hot".
I've been marathoning your videos to help with a work stress induced mental breakdown I had this week, and you guys are pretty much the only thing that helps. Thank you for being your fun, beautiful selves.
ya know, I already have the stuffing and the hot glue, now for the leds and the lanterns, I'M DOING THIS BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHHA *HeY mOm AnD dAd CaN i BoRrOw ThE cReDiT cArD*
I feel like I'm the definition of you two combined, I act like both of you on a day-to-day basis 😂. I mess up words like Evan, if someone tells me to come over, or needs my attention I think something's wrong (like Katelyn), I tend to overthink a lot, etc, etc.
E: “The center had to be in the Center.. of the cloud...😃” K: “no wonder you were slowly getting insane....” laughed a lot at this part 😂 but this project is AMAZING! ☁️☁️☁️
This is one of the best DIY episodes yet! You guys did a great job and I admire Evan for keeping it together despite spiraling into cloud-based madness!
When you two started the ad read bit, I thought for a second that the cloud was about to catch fire with that cgi smoke effect added. I figured it was hinting at it's potential doom.
I feel like this is one of the most useful Buy VS. DIYs because it’s the most easy one to make at home. You didn’t use any machines like the CNC or any workshop tools. Someone could buy the materials and most homes own a glue gun and make it at home. I think it’s so cool that you show some projects that are easy to make for people who aren’t dedicated crafters!
At around 12:00 they talk about it calling it “poly fill”. If you actually paid attention to it. Edit: just to correct myself, it’s actually closer to 11:50. I was close, just missed on a few minutes.
your lamp is awesome!!! It's been a few months but my suggestion would be to mention the shipping and the time when you compare the price. I think that's the most fair because you (and the viewer) can judge if the saved money is worth the hours you spend on it and if shipping time was reasonable. "make something yourself in x hours with x amount of costs and materials" or "buy this thing for x money and wait x amount of time". i think the combination is what gives you the best money/time/worth ratio
The new “audience” part was the best idea!! And OMG the DIY version is SOOOO much better! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love from Brazil (for another two weeks, then it will be “from Finland” ❄️😱)
"Somebody change this baby!" I died. 🤣 You know, you could use the crap one as a new "base" and create another cloud. Maybe even a raining cloud... somehow... ummm... Ok, bye!
It would be cool to see you guys try to improve the ‘buys’ when they turn out worse (or as bad as that turd)! Loved your version of this, I want to make one now.
Google 'Untitled (Styrofoam Cups)' by the artist Tara Donovan for a pretty cool way to do an entire ceiling, although without the interactive lights. Could easily substitute white paper cups if you're eco-conscious.
Hey guys quick suggestion! You guys should include a labour factor so how much effort or work it takes to make it or arrange! Also for the time, you guys should take it in the way of the shipping time! Love your content BTW!!
“It’s been like a year since we last said hit the bell” mate that was last decade. I’m sorry I had to, we’re 10 days into 2020 and I’m still full of cheesy jokes.
Love the Buy vs DIY series and hope it continues. Obviously, it makes the most sense to get things you'd want around the house with this and the cat products you've made so as not to end up with a bunch of useless clutter but I like that the things you've tried so far are good looking and challenge yourselves with skills/ ideas you've not tried much. It's really fun to watch, plus I'm sure you'll at least be able to give them away as great gifts if you run out of space in your garage/house.

for time, you should include time to obtain the materials and planning as well, if you're going to count shipping on the other
That's a good point!
That was my thought too, including finding which "original" to purchase. That can take even longer than planning the project!
@@EvanAndKatelyn even if you don't count it in the vs who wins it's still really good to see the comparison.
EvanAndKatelyn Perhaps you could wrap all that up into an “effort” category instead of time.
If you can get the bought one in two weeks and have a full time job, that give you one weekend to get supplies and build it, more or less.

@@EvanAndKatelyn You can be on cloud seven if you got the number right....
Honestly I want to make a bunch of these for my wedding
Open a fancy restaurant or hotel? 😂 Or do wedding where lights won't fall on your guests? 🤣
The sky is falling! No, wait... that’s just the clouds falling 😂
Evan talking about burning his hand on hot glue when he was younger reminded me of when my friend purposefully stuck the metal end of the hot glue gun on my hand. We were about 10 and apparently she "didn't think it would be that hot".
My friend purposely burns him self with hot glue
Smoxthy pretty sure that’s self harm
@@smoxthybweh my friend ate school glue, cut off circulation to his head, and stabbed himself in the head with his pencil several times.
Raisin Bran eating school glue is normal
@@dinodino3866 we were in 6th grade
I've been marathoning your videos to help with a work stress induced mental breakdown I had this week, and you guys are pretty much the only thing that helps. Thank you for being your fun, beautiful selves.
ya know, I already have the stuffing and the hot glue, now for the leds and the lanterns, I'M DOING THIS BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHHA
*HeY mOm AnD dAd CaN i BoRrOw ThE cReDiT cArD*
mom: "honey... no. last time you borrowed it you burned the house down.."
Mom again: “And you dont have a car!”
Wat
What happened? Did u make it ??
I was waiting for you to try it with some cool storm sound effects... that would have been amazing! I love the DIY... I wish I was this creative!
Wow good idea
I really like the time comparison as a theater tech cause sometimes you're comparing how long it'll take to order vs making it yourself
I feel like I'm the definition of you two combined, I act like both of you on a day-to-day basis 😂. I mess up words like Evan, if someone tells me to come over, or needs my attention I think something's wrong (like Katelyn), I tend to overthink a lot, etc, etc.
E: “The center had to be in the Center.. of the cloud...😃”
K: “no wonder you were slowly getting insane....”
laughed a lot at this part 😂 but this project is AMAZING! ☁️☁️☁️
Hahaha... thank you!
Your cloud looks so cute. I could see this in a child's bedroom (with the blue sky ceiling).
Ha!! I'd have this in a 31 yr old womans room!
“All hail the glow cloud” ☁️ (Where’s my Welcome to Nightvale fans at?)
Literally the only reason I came to the comments. Thank you and All Hail the Mighty Glow Cloud.
All hail!
All hail!
All Hail!
All hail!
“Words are hard” shirt fits way too perfectly
1:14 You can feel Katelyn's rejection for that box coming across 😅
I rejected that box so hard
This is one of the best DIY episodes yet! You guys did a great job and I admire Evan for keeping it together despite spiraling into cloud-based madness!
*Me being super surprised Evan is planning stuff* “Worst case scenario we’ll just hot glue it back together” ahh, there it is
🤣👏

Floodle looks so amazing and perfect it looks photo shopped. XD It's such an amazing thing I am making one in the future for sure.
Kaitlin: it's just a glorified paper lantern
Also Kaitlin: so we are going to be sticking lots of paper lantern
Heh heh heh but ours are cheap!
I'm not trying to be rude but... her name is in the channel name, and you still misspelled it.
@@snakekingjexxy ya lolllllllllllllllll I got triggered but I'm TRYING TO STAY CALM
Wow. your lamp looks sooo good!
maybe instead of time being a category you add labor in as part of the "cost" for your DIY.
When you two started the ad read bit, I thought for a second that the cloud was about to catch fire with that cgi smoke effect added. I figured it was hinting at it's potential doom.
Haha oh no!
I feel like this is one of the most useful Buy VS. DIYs because it’s the most easy one to make at home. You didn’t use any machines like the CNC or any workshop tools. Someone could buy the materials and most homes own a glue gun and make it at home. I think it’s so cool that you show some projects that are easy to make for people who aren’t dedicated crafters!
14:52
She had the opportunity to say SOUND CLOUD and not hearing her say that made me sad
Haha, I'm not that clever
@@EvanAndKatelyn that's okay, words are hard the audience still loves you guys
OK that sponsor ad was hilarious 😂 that's how it's done ☝️
Haha thank you
That “cotton” is likely not cotton. It looks like polyester fiber fill, so, plastic fiber.
Dawn Chesbro they said that
At around 12:00 they talk about it calling it “poly fill”. If you actually paid attention to it.
Edit: just to correct myself, it’s actually closer to 11:50. I was close, just missed on a few minutes.
Imitation cotton vs imitation silk
I am just glad there are LEDs used in paper lantin contact.
your lamp is awesome!!! It's been a few months but my suggestion would be to mention the shipping and the time when you compare the price. I think that's the most fair because you (and the viewer) can judge if the saved money is worth the hours you spend on it and if shipping time was reasonable. "make something yourself in x hours with x amount of costs and materials" or "buy this thing for x money and wait x amount of time". i think the combination is what gives you the best money/time/worth ratio
The new “audience” part was the best idea!! And OMG the DIY version is SOOOO much better! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love from Brazil (for another two weeks, then it will be “from Finland” ❄️😱)
Thank you!
Nádia Moreira yeah, this makes me want to join Patreon and support so I can vote on future projects.
This is the best Cloud lamp ive seen so far and it looks even better than the expensive one. Good Job to You, Love IT :D
I always get so excited to see that you guys have uploaded!! Easily my favorite diy channel!!
thank you so much!
"Somebody change this baby!" I died. 🤣
You know, you could use the crap one as a new "base" and create another cloud. Maybe even a raining cloud... somehow... ummm... Ok, bye!
It would be cool to see you guys try to improve the ‘buys’ when they turn out worse (or as bad as that turd)! Loved your version of this, I want to make one now.
Thank you!
Evan’s shirt is so accurate this episode. “Words are hard” 🤣🤣🤣
It's their merch
His shirt is my everyday life lol
Can I like make a whole cealing with these
theoretically yes and that would be amazing
Google 'Untitled (Styrofoam Cups)' by the artist Tara Donovan for a pretty cool way to do an entire ceiling, although without the interactive lights. Could easily substitute white paper cups if you're eco-conscious.
The one that y'all made is DEFINITELY the winner! (But, I WOULD like to have seen the $3,000+ version.)
Hey guys quick suggestion! You guys should include a labour factor so how much effort or work it takes to make it or arrange! Also for the time, you guys should take it in the way of the shipping time! Love your content BTW!!
Imagine if Evan and Brad Leone (from BA) made a video together. Words would be so hard. The video would be hilarious though :)
i laughed so hard at the floodle. way to make an ad interesting. (:
Haha thank you. May Floodle bless you on this glorious Friday
Floodle? ?????
“It’s been like a year since we last said hit the bell” mate that was last decade. I’m sorry I had to, we’re 10 days into 2020 and I’m still full of cheesy jokes.
WE HAVEN'T SAID HIT THE BELL SINCE LAST DECADE! 😱😂
John Smith
You do you 😊
But it’s not a new decade
it's not easy being cheesy
🤣 So Amazon put together paper lanterns and poly-fil in the frequently bought together list. So which of y’all are making these?
2:00
Evan: "There's a cotton one, and then there are turds,"
Me: uhh, turds?
The editing just keeps getting funnier and funnier the longer I watch you guys, much enjoyed. :)
just want to stop watching to write, that is the best segue to a sponsor, ever.
Haha thank you!
Love the Buy vs DIY series and hope it continues. Obviously, it makes the most sense to get things you'd want around the house with this and the cat products you've made so as not to end up with a bunch of useless clutter but I like that the things you've tried so far are good looking and challenge yourselves with skills/ ideas you've not tried much. It's really fun to watch, plus I'm sure you'll at least be able to give them away as great gifts if you run out of space in your garage/house.
