Thanks for testing this out for all of us. Now I know not to let my daughter help, not to try and kiss the hot ornament and to use oven mitts! Haha! You guys are the best! 😀

[@skennedy0]

We did this and used kitchen tongs to keep hands out of the heat. 😜 Better grip

[@kimrothe]

Maybe try crayon shavings? The shavings would melt a lot faster.

[@elizabethbowie9753]

My tho't exactly!! Crayon shavings. Also, maybe the hair dryer wouldn't have to be on so high/hot. 💗💗💗

[@15yrsandastory]

Strangely enough, this only increases my curiosity and urge to try it.

[@melissameacham4644]

I made these on Monday with my daughter's Girl Scout troop. We used a scrapbooking heating tool and washcloths to hold the ornaments and they turned out great! The tool focuses the heat and is hotter than a dryer.

[@lisajoolney8515]

You should make the soap clouds!!! You take a bar of ivory soap and just microwave it for 2 min or less. It puffs up into an awesome looking soap cloud!

[@leslieperkins5912]

That is such a great idea

[@RainbowSunshineRain]

Yeah and it can also explode violently … ask me how I know …

[@amberturley4084]

They turned out so pretty!

[@bigbubblespopacord4194]

I have a craft no heat! Same bulbs you can use liquid starch or anything liquid sticky and glitter. This is what you do..... pour just a little of the liquid starch inside the bulb, roll it around til the whole ball is coated inside, if any excess turn it upside down drain it on a paper towel, next pour some glitter into the ball and shake it around til it is covered. Done!

[@dolphindreamer8739]

Happy holidays!!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

[@madmommy]

Kim goes into Mom with Broken Glass Mode: "Back, back, get back, get the dog back" with arms splayed. We're not taught how to do this, it is innate in all moms.

[@LetsFocusOnChrist]

Just use paint! Same concept, not so dangerous.

[@bethw7686]

Exactly! My girls and I are going to do that later this week, and I think it will be so much easier.

[@vickiechandler3112]

LOL..just made two painted ones for my daughters friends...used plastic bulbs...only downside is drying time...i put them upsides down in a bottled water with the top of the bottle cut off and a few bigger holes along the side to expidite the drying time. Only took 3 days....LOL

[@gabbybrown2970]

You guys should make "nailed it" into a show on television!

[@JennaRose10]

That already is a show

[@emilymulcahy]

@@JennaRose10 it's a cooking show, these are crafts

[@eileenwelter90]

The editing on this video is amazing.

[@tiffanyhudson3498]

This is how ours went too. 😂😅🎉 Thanks for being real.

[@jfr7160]

I actually loved those!! I could tell Lola wasn’t on her normal “craft” game so definitely sick! Haha! I’d say the pencil ✏️ was the trick with the melted crayons 🖍! Nailed it in my book!

[@teresahampton7873]

seriously, your videos are so GREAT! We are also sick and this made me literally laugh out loud!

[@Cbbartelt]

I would suggest just putting them in the oven in a silicone muffin pan or in cupcake liners in the regular muffin tin and put it in the oven at the lowest setting your oven will go for just a couple minutes. Then you can just swirl them when they come out.

[@reneewilliams9148]

I think pliers would help to hold the bulbs but i love you guys!

[@makennac8708]

Make soap clouds! You just have to put an ivory bar of soap in the microwave for two minutes and it puffs up into an awesome cloud!

[@Autmazing]

We couldn’t handle gingerbread house decorating so I’m 99% sure this would be a disaster for us. 😂 And I’m really glad you guys tried this because before I watched this, I had the bulbs and it kind of seemed like a good idea. I think we’ll stick to glitter and paint. 😂

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Good call. Not an easy DIY craft at all.

[@peachykeen5704]

I've decided done this before, and I took off the cap thingy, put the crayons in, and didn't put the cap on, and set it in the muffin tins. From there put them in the oven for about 5 minutes on a low heat. Take em out, let them cool and Bam! Ordaments

[@justdanNamy]

4.43... Just the tip... just for a second... Lol! you two crazy kids!

[@its_rebeccaart0616]

I love how your not one of those channels who beg for subscribers and never shut up about it but you never really mention it..... I like that 😂😂💖💖

[@garlandajoyce1980]

I think you did a great job after working out the kinks. I think maybe winter gloves (thick ones) would be better for holding them than oven mitts, then you have fingers to get a better grip. I liked the pencil idea too though, that seemed to help. The ones that did work were really nice!

[@cherylferrell5268]

You should try using something like the Ove Glove to hold them so that you have your fingers free for gripping! Love you guys & your videos!

[@Im_foiveeee]

I literally laugh every time the brought that mouth thing up 😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

[@ElizabethLopez-vl2em]

Love it Penn!!! Nice job

[@its_rebeccaart0616]

In the intro who else went back to see Kim say ‘crafts’ agin 😂😂😂😂

[@dougwheeler1265]

Not me, I knew she said crafts the first time. He was just giving her "crap":)

[@ashtonfamilyadventures2070]

This is awesome! 🎄🎄🎄🎅🎉🎅To all of you wonderful KZbin people! I hope you all have an amazing Christmas! and happy holidays from 😆😉😀😊ASHTON FAMILY ADVENTURES 🎊😀😋 "Everyday is an adventure!" we wish you the best! ♥️

[@kailey1073]

Lol the self promo

[@carriemay156]

Hey! I tried this with my family and it was so fun! I used a glove to hold my ornament and it actually worked pretty well!! They are so pretty! Thanks for making this video and for always making me laugh!! God bless y’all!!♥️

[@picantesworld7723]

Omg Penn I would be putting my mouth burning myself too 😂😂😂

[@kenyajerez2013]

💝Wow great video have an awesome Christmas🎄

[@valioceans]

Really pretty! Must try this one!

[@janaleonard4702]

Thank-you for showing us what NOT to do! Definitely don't try to hold a hot ornament with your lips. LOL!! I wonder if OveGloves would help. They are heat resistant and have grips on them.

[@MsLemonhead]

I did these a cpl yrs ago. -use SMALL pieces of crayon -hold it with pliers. It still didn't turn out like you see on the internet, but I had fun!!

[@alysa1594]

They do look pretty....I’d say you Nailed it! 🎄

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Thanks!

[@tinabenoit5041]

Just what I needed I’ve gotta try this with my kids! I am also trying hot glue snow flakes. I loved this!

[@kenfreeman8888]

WARNING: Do not sip coffee while watching one of these videos. Just. Too. Funny.

[@ilovemydogjada3534]

😃😃love it!! Love you guys !!!! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@karenmalick5742]

I would’ve thought the microwave turkey would’ve been more dangerous. Haha

[@dianepowers9643]

What they did in the demonstration was a hearing gun. It directs the heat unlike a hair dryer which sprays the heat. Also they had a string on the top and used heat resistant tools to hold the ornament

[@xtina22e]

That was quite entertaining!!! Also educational! I will never try this! 😂😂😂

[@mangot589]

My son made these in grade school. It’s my favorite ornament.

[@randompensamientos9802]

The dog: what are you guys doing?

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

And he puts his mouth on it??😱 500 degrees..hope your mouth gets better!!🤣

[@ashtonharris1973]

LOVE YALLLLLLL

[@lauravietmeier7427]

Pen, I'm loving the hair more and more!!!!

[@TenilleWilson204]

Looks like fun

[@sarahmoviereviewer4109]

I still want to make this.

[@padfootblack8065]

You guys made me laugh so hard

[@padfootblack8065]

You guys make me laugh so hard 😍🤣

[@stargazer4508]

Lola is so cute....my nephews do not know how to handle glass either.

[@ifagan4669]

you should try stuff with dry ice. The kids will love it

[@MegaMindyLou]

I think the iridescent was probably a good idea.

[@princessmunchkin1983]

If you do this again, try a heat gun crafters use to put embossing powder on stamped pictures. It doesn't get so hot

[@sarahp82]

DIY glitter ornaments are so much easier!

[@vanessarivers6747]

Have a merry christmas!!!! I thought maybeee ill try this with my kids but toooooo dangerous:/ lol

[@carbonatedwater1612]

much wow...

[@magicmochi2894]

I was thinking you could melt the wax in a bowl and dip it maybe that would work 🧐

[@hartlanddogs]

Rudolf marshmallow pops, ours were a disaster!

[@aberrett9320]

Use the left over bulbs and make glitter ornaments. theornamentgirl.com/blog/being-crafty/how-to-make-glitter-christmas-ornaments-diy/ There are many ways to make them but we’ve done it and had a blast. Warning glitter can get every where if you are not careful!!

[@cassiereep2374]

Penn and Kim you should retry and melt the crayons in the bowl first and then pour it into the bulb just an idea

[@peggymelke2129]

I did this using a small pot and a small microwave bowl that fit said pot

[@jennifercresap5667]

You can also do that with paint . do one color at a time

[@dvnlizardandimamormn]

Who was the editor on this one? I like the clean, wholesome entertainment with the whole family. The joke just isn’t worth it, better to let some things go even if the set up is tempting.

[@randompensamientos9802]

I didn’t realize this was from a year ago and thought the home from school bit was a joke.... everybody’s home from school.

[@deenafriedman3813]

Feel better Lola Love you guys so much ❤️

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Thank you, Deena!

[@deenafriedman3813]

Omg you replied!!!! Thank you so much!!! You guys are hilarious, awesome and I love you so much!!!

[@melissagorman7679]

Hahahaha! Just the tip!

[@jenisedai]

How about grating the crayons or using a crayon sharpener to get shavings? It seems like that would melt a lot quicker.

[@Ryan_Dye-r]

What if the crayons were melted before they went into the bulbs? & What if you used a longer wooden handle to hold the bulbs? (Like a wood dowel, 12" - 18" long)

[@skylad27]

Ha ha! NAILED IT! (kind of)

[@carolmadera6842]

Kinda nailed it! 🙂

[@its_rebeccaart0616]

So funny 😂😂

[@intenseflavours4323]

you should try shredding the crayons and put crayon confetti in it

[@intenseflavours4323]

sharpen them and add the sharpener bits that you usually throw away

[@marywalker1060]

I made one tonight, it's not easy

[@emmanicole_woz]

Try using crayon shavings instead. And happy holidays!!! Love you guys!!!

[@teresahampton7873]

Try alcohol ink on Clear bulbs they are gorgeous!

[@naomigoh29]

❤️❤️

[@davidstorrs]

Those ornaments look beautiful! How did they hold up? Side thought: Would it make sense to do these crafts in the yard instead of the kitchen? This is the third or fourth time that I've seen something fall or splatter or otherwise cause a mess.

[@jennifermbryant1]

I like the way they turned out. But a more necessary question...what kind of hair dryer is that? The 2nd one?

[@deenafriedman3813]

Lol, I’m home sick too!!!!

[@hadleypaige128]

Haha! Im sick too! Coincidence? I think not! (Maybe someone is out to make everyone sick for the holidays?)

[@emujenkins2794]

Another way to do this is melt the crayons in a bowl and then pour it in the bulb

[@LifeWithMrsB]

i can't believe you burned your mouth Penn!! Hope Lola is feeling better soon!

[@Joy-kk1kv]

you guys should make some kinetic sand!!!

[@okayslacker4753]

Use craft paint…they actually come out pretty cool

[@nightfury6613]

What is penn's favourite item ? A penncil

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Haha! Very cute.

[@chickie8252]

So are you guys putting these on your tree this year, 2020?

[@fallenloker969]

You need a sign "do not put your mouth on stuff"

[@codymadsen8710]

Much easier if you use acrylic paint

[@PaulsWanderings]

maybe shaving the crayons first so they melt faster

[@keriburton5695]

I think I might have a better idea by shredding those crayons into flakes. it will melt faster and works better?

[@lkemme]

Thank you for doing this craft so I know to NEVER do it!

[@DJ-kl8tt]

Think u need to put something soft and thick under where your doing them so they won’t hit the hard surface

[@DJ-kl8tt]

They look like giant marbles

[@karenantonellis7762]

Nobody has disliked it!!!!!!!!!! YAY

[@DJSlimzilla]

4:42

[@SBQDawn]

um maybe hold that topper with needle nose pliers or beading pliers so you don't burn your fingers

[@Christinamariamuller]

I was looking up ways to use broken crayons and came on this idea but remembered this video and the epic fail. I had to come find the video again. Definitely not a craft for kids. I wonder if you could leave them in the cupcake tin and blow the air down into the opening without picking them up until it's melted. Lol against my better judgment I might try it.

[@ryleemarchand4776]

Haiiiii
