I like the soap idea, but My home is older with older pipes. Pieces like the lavender and zest can actually clog the drain after time.

[@taffykins2745]

Thanks for the tip. So that's a no go for me too

[@bodyofhope]

Good point. Try this! Sprinkle Epsom salt and colored sugar at the bottom of the molds. Color 2 different batches of hot soap, and add a different essential oil to each batch. Pour the bottom half of the mold with a color like pink. Let it firm up, then finish filling the mold with your other batch of soap (purple for example). Makes a beautiful ombre 2-tone effect, and no little bits down the drain.

yooooooooooooooo same man. I live in amsterdam (netherlands capital), and my house is 300+ yrs old with little refurbishing.

[@averyryalls5470]

For anyone wondering, you can make a wick out of string. Just dip it in melted wax and let it dry for a minute.

[@DeeDee-pv3ge]

Avery Ryalls thanks for the tip

[@Lea-mx5dh]

diy string wicks don't last nearly as long or burn as bright though unfortunately :/ I tried myself

[@izelpelayoaleval2463]

Thank you

[@izelpelayoaleval2463]

Lea what string did you use

[@coolgirl8475]

THANKS!!

The exfoliating scrub: beware for those on your gifting list. If they have high blood pressure the Himalayan pink salt can permeate the skin and cause a spike

[@Daniella0020]

Severus Webber salt is generally not a good idea as a scrub. Many people shave under the shower and may have little cuts here and there... I did a diy salt scrub once and never again...

[@gellyrollmonster5676]

Daniella jfc ouch....

[@daveyj8488]

It’s says bath soak

[@AllisonLinner]

I’m afraid you’ve heard some misinformation. Excess sodium in the DIET can exacerbate hypertension (high blood pressure.) If you look at the Periodic Table, sodium is a metal. It doesn’t absorb into the body transdermally in any type of substantial way. Were that the case, the salt in our OWN SWEAT would cause strokes and heart attacks. 😊

[@AllisonLinner]

Daniella Yes, you’re absolutely right. Salt, sugar, or other physical exfoliants cause microscopic tears in the skin, opening up to infection and scarring over time. Chemical exfoliants used properly are the safe way to exfoliate your skin. And all this is especially important for skin on the face!

[@katymuckala3117]

When I’m drinking coffee in the morning nail polish chips off and slowly kills me love that

[@merlinsmustche]

Buzzfeed Nifty have a special love for mason jars.

[@maxlanford3111]

Emma Yuan *has

[@PRTTYBTTRFLY1]

Emma Yuan Lemon Lavender my favorite

[@khurramkhani3993]

No, there are different producers for different videos, maybe this producer liked to make things using jars.

[@hollyngwinn9185]

Do you know how expensive essential oils and Mason jars are

[@thevizioncurator1299]

Menards sells them. I saw them 6 or 12 a pack. The 6 was like 7 bucks.

[@citlalliir]

I bought a pack of 6 organic essential oils for $15, but yeahhh

[@muitkito]

Citlalli Ramirez just a tip, I’d check the ingredients of your oils, for example, if you have lavender, it should be safe to eat. But if it says it’s not safe to eat, it’s probably not a good oil. Just want you to be safe, because you could be inhaling chemicals.

[@citlalliir]

Brianna Ellicott yeah thanks!

[@rhondarebber8576]

Goodwill has them and they are inexpensive. But, you do have to wash them of course! 😊

[@angelamagruder5911]

You are a very creative person,bless you keep up the good job gets better every year and season,wonderful ideas,thanks!!!!!!

[@joannemullins3099]

You are so talented. I love them all. They make perfect gifts.

[@heidivanwyngaarden8109]

Absolutely love the ideas now I need to divide and conquer! Wish me luck!!

[@margarethuynh6328]

Is buzzfeed nifty turning into 5 minute crafts? They keep repeating projects over different videos

[@divyagulwani2710]

Yesssss

[@ananyaapujari3658]

Yeah, correct!!

[@dalesanders7044]

But it is also good for the people who did not see that video and who are watching this video only. Then they can see a diy they haven’t seen yet even though someone else might have already seen it before.

[@khurramkhani3993]

@@dalesanders7044 Yes totally true!

[@CreativeIdeas]

These ideas are awesome. We will try and make them all

[@BrendaBrzz]

From what video is the rectangular lavender lemon soap? There were 3 other soaps depicted on the end and I'd love to see what they're made of!

[@StarlightStephanie]

BrendaBrzz I hate when they don't upload videos on KZbin. Here's the video, it's from the Goodful Facebook page: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1731420703595055&id=1272480059489124

[@BrendaBrzz]

Starlight Sweet, thanks! It's so annoying when that happens

[@debiclark5099]

What universe DO you live in??? Lot's of women have it. Beautiful lamp's also. Sound's like you're missing out!!! Treat yourself, you deserve it! 😊💖🌼

[@peach6008]

the reason you guys get 800 views in 40 minutes with 400k subscribers is because we've all seen these before

[@addiebarr8225]

Got an Idea for the soap! Instead of buying dried lavender and stuff, just break open tea bags and use those! Teas come in varieties of herbs and flavors. And I think you can just use those Ivory soaps instead of buying soap base..... I mean if you wanna go natural then maybe u shouldn't... but it's cheaper! XD

[@shannoncarlson6960]

Great idea!

[@PhoenixRiviera]

Like these gift ideas, LOVE the music!

[@kagontleserutle5775]

I love all of this handmade gifts

[@Kiamoko]

I like the mason jar idea 😍

[@aspinontime9890]

These DIYs are great and all.. but my favourite was the mason jar handle... 😂

[@carlagarrett3244]

Handmade gifts I haven't seen here yet: Taking time to prod bulbs into life for Christmas, handmade pinch pots, set of toy bags for doll clothes, dinkytoys, etc, fleece mittens and elf touques, Fleece quilts for friends, good painting or art works made, afghans, puppets for kids moniker, key chains from clay, photo albums, small leather goods, whittled santas.

[@kennedybetancourt4799]

Just in time for those people who have waited until the last minute to get people gifts... *raises hand*

[@dilawarkhan3131]

Last one gift is so nice, I was searching for it only, thanks

[@faizadar1222]

Just a tip for the mugs: don't put them in the dishwasher the nail polish comes off; I tried

[@kbear6797]

Oh dear

[@addiebarr8225]

wow that would be a disaster to give to somebody..... XD

[@natalianunezramos5466]

Oh, thanks i was going to give that to my mother.

[@shannoncarlson6960]

Double coat them with protective spray. Works great.

[@sarahadams599]

Where did you get the soap bases and silicone molds from? Thank you very much!

[@AlejandraGarcia-lk1hl]

[@kulwantkaur1642]

Good, nice , beautiful every thing for you 😍😘😘

[@bari2883]

Loved all of them.

[@kardashub5927]

Should the potpourri be cooked before use? Or being in the jar is enough?

[@ericsgranny8933]

Wow! Excellent ideas! Thanks

[@felizyip3703]

Is there a special type of nail polish that the marbling works best with??? And it only sticks to ceramic stuff right??? Where to get all those different types of salts??? I thought Himalayan salt is only pink?

[@ashhlelovesyoufletcher9438]

0:43 a good for when sick green icky germs , nah that when u touch and accidentally sneeze and some one sees nah man it's part of the cup

You don’t freeze the soaps, just put them in the fridge, I know this because I’m a professional Candle, Melts, MP soaps & Body Products Maker And seller

[@jenniferrichard2682]

How long do you put them in the fridge? And thanks for that tip i am a craft lover and i want to try this.

[@catherinez8969]

in what universe does people have himalayan pink salt in their house

[@kleenex4u]

i do

[@gracem2654]

I do

[@inessairdayanty]

Err, yeah, it’s a healthier option for salt so a lot of people have it now.

[@beatricerodriguez4095]

I do

[@joshualaw2670]

Actually, pink salt is both easy to find and cheap in local supermarkets. It is a much healthier option than plain salt. Maybe a little research before you leave a comment is not so hard. :/

[@eleanorsinfield1080]

Welcome back to another episode of willllllllllllllll it water marble?!

[@wineima]

How do you dry lemon zest and lavender seeds, and what happens if you don't dry them?

[@addiebarr8225]

You could put them under a heavy book for a couple of days, or let it dry in the sun for a couple days as well. And if you don't let them dry they would rot..... the orange rind at least.... and the lavender would just look weird after a couple of days.

[@TheDog2137]

in the oven i think

[@123rosebuds]

Very cool. Thank You.

[@kellylopesdasilva4712]

I think i just felt in love

[@fuzzycaterpillar7915]

a bit better than the last one I watched

[@deesmith5304]

What's in the "shea butter soap base"?... is that from another video or am I supposed to know how to make it or where to buy it? It would have been nice to give the names of the other soap combos pictured too.

[@addiebarr8225]

Oh also, the soap combo names ( i'm guessing) are 1. lemon zest and lavender (you already know) 2. Mint and basil 3. Chocolate 4. oatmeal and honey

[@Aphrodite242]

Maybe I'll make candles 👍👍👍

[@tiredandhungry4797]

These are all clearly made for a certain type of person. What do i make for someone that isn't obsessed with scents and tea?

[@honestteahideout1909]

wow so nice

[@giovannidiyandcrafts]

Thanks BFN

[@josephcoelho9959]

Other options if u don't have the spray???

[@kalisayers5904]

Nail polish is not microwave safe so a nail polish mug is a horrible idea.

[@shannoncarlson6960]

It's fine if you use protective coats ×2. Works great

Where the heck can I find the individual video for the soap bars

[@addiebarr8225]

Here, I think the second one is mint and basil: Just add basil and peppermint oil (food coloring for color) Third is.... chocolate I think: I'm not sure if they melted it in or not.... but I have no idea how else they would get it in there. XD and the fourth is oatmeal and honey: add a tablespoon of honey ( I think ) and as much oatmeal as you think. Hope I helped :)

[@h.a178]

None I can’t be bothered 😐

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

If your not a Qualified Aromatherapist Like Myself then you shouldn’t handle Essential Oils, Blends or fragrances as you can cause someone serious complications, some cause ⚠️Death⚠️ Don’t Google It, GET QUALIFIED

[@SaraAli-ep5xb]

Why should we listen to you your not the boss of us

[@MeloraCarabas]

People who think essential oils are safe as water should try applying cinnamon oil to their skin. That sure taught me. I barfed my guts out and was nauseous all day. Cinnamon oil is also great in dissolving most plastics.

[@addiebarr8225]

It's because it's made out of herbs. Certain herbs won't go well together.... meaning they can be dangerous, and should not be put on your skin.... just talk to someone who knows about this stuff.... or don't mix them. unless its a well known and safe combination

[@shannoncarlson6960]

I think the point is by diluting them and using only one or two oils per item is ok. However everything should be labelled. It's up to the individual using it to know their body. We touch thousands of oils and materials every day. Food products, metal rails, wooden chairs, brooms, plastics, subway, clothing, etc. Calm down.
