I Tried OVERLY SPONSORED Art Stuff...but NOT Sponsored | PART 1

Today I decided to test overly sponsored art stuff..this is part 1 so if you enjoy it I'll be sure to do more! I keep getting recommended Kiwi Co boxes from different creators and since I've never worked with them or spoken with them before..I figured I would subscribe and buy one for myself and see if it's actually as good as other creators say they are... Kiwi Co boxes are arts and craft boxes filled with different creative products for different ages. I purchased the "Maker Crate" -
"Maker Crate is a monthly craft box dedicated to the discovery of new art and design tools to help turn artistic visions into design realities."
Pre-order my brushes: artisticbearco...
The box: www.kiwico.com

I subscribed to Kiwi Crate for me, an adult, for a while. One thing I liked was the sheer variety of projects. Everything from printing fabric to making soap to making mini lanterns. Even though I COULD buy the supplies for each project every month, I wouldn’t try most things on my own, and you get just the right amount to try out a new thing. If you want to continue it, then you know you like it already. Or if you’re like ehhh not for me, you aren’t stuck with a bunch of supplies you’ll never use

[@Dyannitas27]

My husband gifted me the makers crates for my birthday. So far I have done the lettering cup and a lamp made from wire, they had everything in the box and were very good quality. I think the Makers crate is good for someone that wants to do crafts but doesn't know what they want to try. I learned I don't like working with wire! 😂🤣😂

[@Krista_Rose7]

The best handlettering tip I ever heard was not to be afraid to lift your marker! It's not cursive! You can lift your marker as often as you like. I think of handlettering in strokes rather than letters.

[@karok5937]

Have to agree! Handlettering is more drawing than writing.

[@SuperRaedizzle]

[@Trippy_Space_Bunny]

I have seen sponsorships for this of a million times, this video is the first one that actually made me want to buy it. You did an amazing job. Absolutely love all the flora on the second one.

[@hattieshank1276]

TO USE STENCILS: 1.) Use micron end to trace the entire stencil 1.5) Remove stencil 2.) Color it in 3.) Enjoy

[@megstout7229]

However, I do believe this particular stencil was designed to help with letter placement.

[@ebullock7173]

Ok

[@sarkozywasthere]

Three years of Japanese in high school plus some occasional studying when I find the time as an adult here - Japanese symbols are very simple. It's (with a couple exceptions) always either a vowel by itself or a consonant + vowel combo and the vowels all have just one pronunciation. A [ah]; I [ee]; U [oo]; E [eh] & O [oh]. So the word is pronounced "oo-kee-yoh"

[@katj4487]

Stencil syggestion: use fine tip to trace the stencil then fill in afterwards with brush tip. Much cleaner and quicker. Also less likely to move the stencil.

[@blobcrusher8328]

Can I just say, your hair is adorable today chloe 😊

[@bobbiegraham7729]

I think the stencil is an assist for lining up your letters. Love your videos.

[@rosemalde4]

I have two kids, 6& 7, and having been getting the kiwi crate for over a year now. They love them. They look forward to getting them in the mail and it's one of the few things they will just set still for. There is any where from 1-3 projects per box and my kids play with them for days after making them. Plus they come with a book that has a story to go with the project as well as STEM info and other at home activities. Our last one had a simple fruit dip recipe that they could make on their own and they LOVED it. Also for other parents on the fence, both of my kids are high energy, demolition crew set of girls and these kits hold their interest.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Am I the only one thinking I'd DEFINITELY not have gone the inspirational route and would have gone with like "duck" you or something

[@Smartielew]

The word Ukiyo is pronounced oo-kee- soft y sound with oh. So kind of oo-kee-oh. Awesome work, I think I tend to over work things with my art as well. Simple but purposeful is very difficult 😂

[@arimidfallcrowley]

I was going to leave a pronunciation tip, but yours is really good.

[@enbycharlie6287]

I was taught Japanese at school, but I thought the "o" pronunciation was more like that in "hot" than "oh"? I could be wrong or misinterpreting your comment tho

[@aatashiwadoremi]

@Charlie Thompson A Japanese “o” sound is like Spanish, you have the “pure” vowels, so a is “aw,” i is “ee,” u is “oo,” e is “ehh,” o is “oh.” I hope this helps!

[@lilartsy8369]

Chloe messing things up is the most relatable thing & I love that she doesn't cut that out to remind us that nobody is perfect & we're all just human beings & make mistakes 💜💜 Ps that dog patting the water to see if it's dry is the cutest thing😍

[@mahashrisinghal7576]

Chloe's videos, they are on an another level

[@daan8695]

I haven't tried this line of Kiwico, but my son was subscribed to another line from them for a year and we really enjoyed doing them. They always included everything you need, except for maybe a pair of scissors and the instructions were always extremely clear. Usually they also had an instructional video. The material included was of a good quality. They usually also included some extra's which is nice if you do something for the first time and might mess it up! The project in the box was always very reasonable compared to the price, especially taken into account that I don’t live in the US and it included international shipping. It was always fun and kept us occupied for like an hour, after which we could play with the project. It always was something that held up extremely well. As said, I don’t live in the US and shipping usually took a bit longer, but never too long. Stuff always arrived undamaged. In short, I highly recommend these boxes.

[@JubJubBirdProduction]

Wait. I tried handlettering as a lefty for years with brush pens, and I always fail, because I "push" in the wrong direction and the tip of the pen just flaps around weidly. How the f did you manage to keep the brush tip "stable against the push direction"? (I have no idea how to describe it.)

[@Personal_INF0]

nothing like having a bad day until chloe posts

[@tennisprinzessin84]

I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and I really enjoy them! You’re a wonderful artist with a bubbly personality and a wicked sense of humour. Can I just say one thing - the wild zooming in and out and back and forth… I know it’s all the rage with youtubers now, but I enjoyed your “old” way of cutting videos a lot more. I know you’re free to do however you wish and I’m not saying do it differently, but - does anyone have a similar problem? I really do get seasick. But then again, I’m a whimp. Anyways, you’re doing an awesome job here. So thank you.

[@LuluDrakonite]

Some of the camera work was making me fairly seasick on this video, with all the jerky motions and zooming in and out 😰 That said, this box does look interesting. Hand lettering is something that I'm envious of people who can do it

[@user-gk2cg2th9h]

A very small percentage of artistic ability is natural talent. It's all about training your muscles with repition especially lettering, download some calligraphy practice sheets and watch a video on it and just start filling as many of those in as possible you'll get it over time! Hand lettering is not an overnight natural ability it is dedicated practice and love for improvement

[@courtneywhetten8094]

To be completely honest, you are much better at hand lettering as a beginner than I was when I started. No matter what you think, yours does look pretty good.

[@aimsftw]

I should've done the Maker crate for my kids. We've done the doodle and tinker before. While they are fun, we ended up with pieces all over the house and the last 3 doodle boxes haven't even been opened. If I renew, I'll get this one, then at least I can do it if they don't 😅

[@ang2316]

I love how those turned out! Also I am here for your transitional phase! Art is all about experimenting and growing so do your thing!

[@LizStaley]

I think you can use the stencil to make guides to do curved lettering or other shapes to fill your letters in to! Also how are you so good at hand lettering?! I always blamed how Crap my brush lettering is on being a leftie but now I think I’m just terrible at it even though I try really hard not to be 🤣

[@silverlightyoake9938]

I want that backdrop... Also, this video series is going to be interesting to watch! After watching you and Waffles and Rae and Jazza, I've been keeping an eye out on the art subscription boxes (The only one I have so far is from Jazza's Spectrum Noir) and I have been itching to try some of these monthly subscriptions and see which ones are worth it.

[@Skittl1321]

I love subscription boxes. The only KZbin one I've gotten was Nerdecrafter, and it was amazing. Except, it was a $150 single sculpture...but I mean, I could make more.

[@sirialilianblack1951]

I honestly need to sort out my brain :D Anyway, the "mindset is everything" cup is honestly wonderful!! I still need to finish the video I'll be back on the comment section in a few seconds

[@Mookielady]

I just stopped the video to see if anyone thought like I did and you put it perfectly.

[@RebelHart9]

I think that stencil is actually a guide to do different text effects such as “bend” or “fisheye” like in Photoshop. I totally could be wrong though

[@ritahamm9419]

this is also entirely what I was thinking

[@JamieTries]

Yep, that's what it is meant for. Of course, it CAN be used like a regular stencil if you want to use it that way. But the instruction video shows how to use it to plan your letter design/layout and put the letters on an arc or other formations

[@AkemiNishikido]

17:52 It's pronounced like "oo-key-yoh" just like it says on the pin, where you sound out the short u sound rather than read it like a letter u. Japanese is quite easy to pronounce since you just sound out every single letter. I have 2 of those mugs where you can insert whatever you want to personalize, I'd just be very careful about the edge of the paper nearest the rim coz one of mine leaked water through that side ruining my design 😥

[@JamieTries]

I've gotten the Maker Crate on and off for a couple years now, and they can be real hit or miss, but you always get some new tool or supply that you can reuse, which is nice. And I like combining different boxes into a single larger project when I can't think of what to do with the project as-is. My one complaint though is that they give you a paper inspiration book and make you watch videos for explanations of the tools and project, which can get a bit frustrating. I'd much rather have it the other way around. But the videos are very helpful, the woman narrating them has the most soothing voice ever, and, it does answer all the questions you're likely to have- including for example, answers to the question of how to wash the travel mugs. I know that when you're filming a video, you can't always stop and watch a 10-minute instructional video. But for anyone considering this box, I just want to make it clear that you're not just given a bunch of stuff and expected to figure it out on your own.

[@sharanyaa1479]

I love Kiwi Co. My son gets the Koala crate, which comes with 3 activities, and he loves it! He is so excited every month.

[@nephfey2605]

I was tempted to get them for my autistic toddler what sort of things are in them?

[@danielasu645]

@@nephfey2605 I'm sorry I never saw you commented on this. It depends on the crate really. Each month has a theme. The Koala crate is appropriate for kids ages 3 to 5. One crate was night time. So we got a slow in the dark sock lightning bug stuffed animal, a toilet paper roll mushroom, and one other activity. It literally comes with everything you need to do the project. If you go to their site it will give you a ton of info about each crate option.

Your perfect imperfections and brave showing of them are one of the things I just absolutely adore about your videos. Eg. "I don't know how to do this well, but I'm going to give it a go". Eg.

Ukiyo is the Japanese term used to describe the urban lifestyle and culture, especially the pleasure-seeking aspects,...Ukiyo culture developed in Yoshiwara, the licensed red-light district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), From the Wiki So its kind of like writing "Swinger" on your water mug.

[@jaimejohnesee]

[@annnoyez]

Chloe please. This is not a stencil. It's a template so you can draw wit pencil certain lines to do your handlettering or like the "rainbow", I think they used to make the line with flags... or for doing your text in perspective.... try it sweetie. A template like that is very handy...

I grew up with the tinker crates when I was younger. No one really knew about them then. They were absolutely amazing! Such a wonderful diverse set of kits, my favorite was a spin art kit where you build your own motor. Would get them for my own kids (if I had any)

[@Catsandcamera]

Stencil tip! - You only draw around the edge of the stencil while it's on the page, you don't try and colour it in while holding. With these pens, they have the small nib, so you could draw around the stencil with the right colour, remove the stencil, then colour it in. It means you can colour more slowly, be more precise, and you don't have to worry about accidently moving the stencil out of place

[@elizacantfindausername]

Ahh I always look forward to when you upload!

[@SamanthaJoe]

I like the rainbow marker one! I just did a whole video on my channel about stencils! I would definitely recommend using the smaller bullet tip when doing stencils and getting an outline of the stencil then going back and coloring. :)

Chloe you are such a lovely person and I truly enjoy watching your videos! The first Kiwi Co box advertising I saw was on “Simone Giertz’s” Channel. She is an inventor of Robots! The boxes she featured looked very cool and your tumblers look pretty sweet too! I believe that the “stencil” is more of a lettering guide. You use it to create a saying in an arc without drawing guide lines. I do wonder how much those tumbler’s cost? Unless you buy a bunch in a bulk order I have not seen them for less than $18.00 each! I believe that this box has amazing value for money spent! I am quite taken with your designs! Just so lovely!

[@Tainted_Julz_Radio]

I’ve seen some of the boxes contents are a bit eh or I’d struggle with that but this one really looks kool and fun and I’d probably use my bugs to put my markers, pencils or paint brushes in. The thing is I don’t believe you get to choose with box you get and therefor I’m not sure it would be a good fit for me. I am vision impaired/legally blind so there’s that factor to contend with and this one was very freehand and didn’t have to be a certain way or it wouldn’t work so I think that was awesome I love your second mug. The flowers and leaves look gorgeous xx

[@shriyarajeshrao2713]

That is not a stencil for that purpose. Its a line guide to curve your letters. You do a faint pencil line with one of the curves and then put your letters on it.

My great grandson Loves these Kiwi crates since he was 4 years old and I started him from the 5-8 yo category and he just absorbed it all.
