Hi Jackie !

[@justflamingo4114]

Oh wow ! Thanks for the heart !

[@nergissubas762]

Hey Jackie hope you and Sika are doing well!

[@eniddraws619]

I was quicker than you 😂:D

[@Hunter_the_og]

Hello Jackie 😊

[@kaos2405]

It is funny how Jackie says almost every video, "Don't ruin my felt", but she constantly puts her felt in situations where it is in danger of being ruined.

[@mandyheart8754]

She’s always so concerned about her felt when it costs like $1 for 10+ pieces at a craft or dollar store. 😁😁

[@sailorbrite]

If only there were some sort of clear substance she could make a tray out of… wait… resin! 😆 she could get a resin tray mold! And work on the tray instead of the felt!

[@altl888]

I have a giant piece of blue felt from clearance. Thought about sending it to Jackie, but it would probably cost more than 10 times what I paid for it, and I'm not sure she could be trusted.😂

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

Wow... victim shaming smh

[@kaos2405]

@@yepitsthatguy5278 Lol. Not one bit, as Jackie choosing to use her felt in every video where it could be messed up doesn't make her a victim. I merely pointed out the obvious.

[@belleekgirl]

The "Craft Wax Sticks" seem like generic for something called "Bendaroos"- we used them in preschool to help kids have fun making shapes, numbers and letters.

[@psychoweasley5971]

Yeah I was gonna say, I had those as a kid but I couldn't remember what they're called. Bendaroos! Oh, the memories....

[@oreounicornz7893]

Also Wikki Stix! I’ve been to restaurants as a kid that gave out packs of these instead of crayons so you can make little creations instead of just drawings.

Wax craft sticks are non-Toxic. We used them a lot in the private school I worked at. The kindergarteners LOVED them!

[@witheringg5359]

I had them in fourth grade, we never used them but my teacher said that they were for blind kids to know what shapes and letters they were making

[@halseycarlin]

When I was a kid we called those wax sticks wixxy sticks. My mom had a huge Tupperware bin full of them and she would give me and my siblings a theme and we could decorate an entire wall with that theme for hours on end it was one of our favorite activities.

[@froggerthecatlady7962]

Zaxbys used to have them in their kids meals. They were called wixxy stixs

[@halseycarlin]

@@froggerthecatlady7962 i’m from Arizona so I’ve never been to Zaxby’s 😅but we definitely had restaurants that had them in their kids menus here too.

[@bluelamb7637]

My sister and I used to have those secret pens! When she got married and moved across the country, we'd send letters to each other and add secret messages in the margins. Once I sent her a comic with blank word bubbles. She told me she spent several minutes going over every inch of the paper looking for the secret message before she realized I'd pranked her! 😂

[@skydragon84]

What a great idea for April Fools!

[@adomanillo2032]

The wax sticks are also called wiki stixx. There's no instructions because you can use them anyway you want. We use them in kindergarten for letter making, shapes, numbers or you can us them for all sorts of crafts. You can reuse them over and over again.

[@Bealzebub.]
