10 Craft Hacks with Everyday Items! Water Bubbles, Bath Clay, Candy Paint and MORE

[@CommanderWiggins]

Joanna out here making actually useful and fun hack videos that don't involve potentially setting your house on fire. 5 Minute Crafts could never. Also, there's a specific brand of eraser called Moo that is specifically made so that the shavings clump up instead of crumble. It pretty much instantly becomes a kneaded eraser. I know it kinda defeats the point of a hack to use a specific, not widely sold brand, but it's fun to know regardless.

[@stephhhie17]

We used to make eraser clay in school all the time! Instead of erasing a blank sheet of paper, if you erase colored pencils, you can get different colors and then mold them into a cute custom eraser. I had so much of this in my desk. This was long before social media, so it's so cool to see how many other bored kids independently discovered the same weird things.

[@iulia5665]

me toooo! i always used to make it during class in elementary, i made it my life's goal to make a big pile of it.

[@van_5756]

My friends and I would always make that DIY eraser putty in elementary school, so it's really cool to see it in one of your videos! The trick is to rub tiny pieces of eraser shavings between your fingers until it becomes malleable like an actual putty. It's really time consuming if you want to make a bigger putty but it's pretty fun.

[@KristenZianourry2015]

I need something that is time consuming 😌

[@yutongong8551]

I got mine right now its hard but i know how to make it into a putty again

[@ranayousaf44]

me and my bestie also did that and played with it

[@Malin-qq4nx]

I Always did this in school😅

[@Reptile-pz9tf]

Ya

[@alexieldefanel]

Coconut oil is HIGHLY comedogenic, which means it can clog pores easily. So for those who are already prone to acne around the lips (like yours truly) I’d definitely use a different oil, such as jojoba or even grapeseed.

[@only_m3i]

I remember doing paper mache bowls for a school project and I remember that you have to add multiple layers if you want it to be more sturdy. Just a quick tip for those wanting to try the last hack in the vid ☺️

[@auntiesash]

you can smush the pulp on the outside of an upturned bowl to get a smooth interior finish & it will dry more quickly. Briefly nest another bowl over the top partway thru drying to smooth out the outside layer. This is a great, impromptu craft if you are stuck in a restaurant or waiting room with kids. You can usually find a napkin or tissue, some cup or bottle, & some water.

[@trishwarren7113]

Okie dokie:)

Please do not use food coloring in bath products! As it can stain not only your tub but your skin. Please make sure to only use Bath safe/made products for your soap and bath items!!

[@maqaroon]

In the context of this DIY I think it's harmless to use a tiny bit of food colouring to make a pastel coloured clay, which then gets dissolved in so much water. However agree that it's a bad idea to use concentrated food colouring for anything related to skin or cosmetics

[@merelturf3704]

You sai it now

[@BloodyxRoses]

@@merelturf3704 What? Did you want them to say it before maqaroon posted the video?

[@L0ST_K3NZ0]

will it be good if you use gloves for it?

[@Thenerdynerds]

@@L0ST_K3NZ0 There’s not a glove for your body/bathtub.

[@gemini1005]

So glad you included the Koala cookie one. It unlocked some nostalgic memories 😂 and also wanna go grab some and try that lol.

[@rokelle_2012]

Imagine dressing up as a vampire or a zombie for Halloween and going to a party or out trick or treating smelling like soy sauce lol.

[@Drummerchef13]

Another way to make those water pistols is to get bunchoballoons since they use a tiny rubber band to seal, they work the same way. Bonus aspect is these balloons are now biodegradable so when they pop or run out, they don't have to be cleaned up

[@maqaroon]

Interesting!! I've never tried Bunchoballoons before and always wondered what made them different to normal ones

[@momothebug]

@@maqaroon the "biodegradable" thing is just unethical marketing and shouldn't be believed at all. Lifehacker has an article about it.

[@minahil6616]

YOURE FINALLY UPLOADING HACKS LIKE YOU USED TO.. I ALMOST THOUGHT THIS WAS AN OLD VIDEO FROM THE THUMBNAIL..

[@maqaroon]

Haha thank you! This one didn't actually take as long to film and edit as I expected so I hope I can make more vids like this in future!

[@jiayi5211]

OOOOH The bath bomb hack is great since I can never get the bath bombs to work with the molds. They always crumble or expand or foam up.

[@maqaroon]

Yay hope it helps! It's not really a fizzy bath bomb but basically the same as LUSH bubble bath bars. I think the clay should work with molds as well, especially if you just leave it inside to dry!

[@joan_of_snark]

Another (and probably cheaper) way to make fake blood uses corn syrup (or other similar syrup), chocolate syrup and water if you want it thinner! Adding peanut butter and/or starch to make it thicker is an option too, but obvs gotta be careful of allergies. It's edible, too! Tons of diff recipes out there 👍

[@Dawn_Hannah]

The “professional” theatre blood that we used in the productions I worked on was basically corn syrup, colouring, and a minty flavouring. Your ideas are spot on!

[@unnatural3578]

at school I used to get Babybel cheese in my lunch and I always used to take the wax and make random little characters out of it lol, I miss those days

[@seaxofxfaces]

I used to do special effects make up and I would mix Karo syrup with red food coloring, it looks real and stays wet. Super cheap and way better than any fake blood you can buy

[@AllyDontObey]

I know heat helps pushing/molding the eraser shavings together because I remember i used to make balls of it in art class when I'd be rubbing the pencil marks away to make it clean after drawing with dark pencils

[@maqaroon]

Interesting!! I had no idea this method was so widespread. There are lots of people here saying they did this in school

[@cinnamoroll4lifer]

So your saying that I been scrubbing my hand with soap for 10 minutes and me raging that I will have colored hand s for the next 3 days and I could just use backing soda and shaving cream

[@Serenity_Lovely152]

I love ur videos because of the work and creativity you use in them and all the adorable things you make!

[@HectorLga]

The queen is back!!!!!

[@AmazingFalcon276]

My daughters make toilet paper bowls by placing the paper on the outside of the bowl and letting it dry. They're 8 and 11 so they leave them all over my house and it annoys me but I've always thought it was a pretty clever way to make extra bowls for their doll's tea parties.

[@maqaroon]

Oh that's a great idea, much easier to get off! I need to teach my 3 year old too...would love her to start making stuff instead of always needing new toys 😂

[@randomchild6885]

AHH THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED TO SPEND MY TIME WITH, THANKS MAQAROON!!!

[@welkin1080]

12:21 i have that exact shirt 😝🤣

[@arandomcat2123]

Did you know that if you put activater in a bowl ND put glue *don't mix it* then take the glue out carefully it forms glue bubbles! It's so satisfying to pop Its better to use clear glue

[@Sofia-qn6fs]

This video literally made my day Joanna ♥️. Thank you for these hacks 👌😌

[@ImCOOL439]

For the putty rubber, you should rub it over a sticky note, sticker, or anything like that.

[@cozycake7074]

I love ur channel so much joana!! Ive watched maqaroon and cute life hacks since 2016!!

[@cofeejoe2882]

"Start by washing of any remnants of cheese" its one of those sentences that bring me inmense joy because is not something you expext to hear

[@Urfavebrunnette_]

THIS ISNT A HATE COMMENT !! I was just going to say that baking soda drys out ur hands because once I made something and it dryed out my hands and no matter how many times I washed it it kept feeling dry . I don’t know wether the shaving cream doesn’t dry out mixed with the baking soda .

[@Urfavebrunnette_]

Btw I absolutely adore ur Chanel!!

[@TammyLai-ut9ld]

With that rubber, you can reuse the rubber multiple times if you can pick up all the pieces

[@CanteLizzie]

You're so pretty, Maqaroon! I always love watching your videos. Your voice is so soothing

[@itcouldvebeenworse]

fake blood recipe I've used is jsut a bottle of karo syrup, 40 drops of red food color, 1 drop blue food color. and then Vaseline to keep from sticking. this is often used in movies. yours is so much nicer on a small scale though.

[@Conceptualcreatures]

Brilliant hacks

[@T.Shen-ya]

Omggg renewed subscriber here I remember when I used to watch her sewing videos when I was younger ahh it's good to be back

[@charninakshatra5638]

u can add a bit of oil as u mix the clay dust

[@Reptile-pz9tf]

This is so cool 👏

[@slimey_789]

Every time when I make something out of paper my sister would be like mama. I wanted and I'd be like no.

[@jiayi5211]

I used to make kneaded erasers every day during school!

[@kakiioa]

I remember that I break my friend ruler. He said that he had a sticky eraser putty and he fix his ruler.

[@pamrolls9739]

Also with the putty rubber you could also make it into blu tack however you cant exactly stretch it anyways so youve got your ball of rubber shavings and then you gentyl mix in some glue best type of glue to use is like prit stick glue then when its mixed in you have to keep on like pressing it down and and like kneading it in your hand and then when its dry and like a blu tack you can add colour however this type of blu tack isnt great for stretching so if you need to have something in your hand to play with or something then just make this and i dont know if this works as a rubber

[@OCEANTHINGS12]

For the kneaded eraser I heard somewhere that if it won’t stick together enough, you can erase on the sticky part of a sticky note to make it more clay like.

[@willd.4808]

I have a vasovagal reaction to blood & I was like "oh, I won't be affected by this, it's just fake blood" but as soon as she swirled it I immediately felt lightheaded 😂 That is quite realistic! The sauce has that sticky consistency blood has that water-based fake blood doesn't

[@vmadhunala]

Hi I just found your channel and it's interesting and AMAZING! :D

[@toastycatz5164]

It would make my day if you do the water bubble one but using other glues😅

[@edits7510]

I did the putty eraser since 2017

[@rosexshine8125]

EARLY! FINALLY

[@budd33]

Idk why this was so aesthetic 😂 btw have a 🍪 cause your awesome!

[@kinseybriley6683]

For a not so crumbly moldable eraser get tape and an eraser and erase the sticky part of the tape. Little tip😁

[@CandiCow9]

At school when I’m done with my work (which is mostly all the time) I actually do make needed erasers I did this all the time so now I have this big clump!

[@dumplingsfordays2980]

it works with unclean eraser shavings too I always do this in class

[@Frosting1000]

I feel like your KZbin persona is a calm, mature teacher and your tiktok persona is pure chaotic troll and I love that

[@maqaroon]

HAHAHA I love this 😆! I feel that the "reward" for people who watch my YT is that they fully know where the Tiktok stuff is coming from and it makes sense. The ones who only see short clips get emotional damage 💀

[@Stickerzzz]

i love your crafts so much! theyre so fun just to watch and they really get my creative juices flowing

[@jouska9819]

THE BOTTLE REVEAL!!!

[@snakesonaframe2668]

Omg I LOVE the bath clay! I’m gonna go make some now lol. I wonder if you can make a pipe-able version 🧐 time to experiment!

[@stxrryslime2859]

it's so amazing how your channel is just like 5 mins diy but it's more rational and you even voiceover it and the video quality is so high even though you have a lot of subs you still work hard on vids

[@m4rskitty]

I love your videos so much!! 💞💞

[@siyanetam49]

My friends literally made a business out of the eraser one

[@Etherealbear855]

idk why i smelled chocolate as soon as she took out the chocolate ball

[@Amethystlover881]

We don’t have baking soda in the uk

[@Juliyuhh]

these are so cool! I love your unique ideas!!

[@hollymistry1525]

I thought that the cheese was going to be the lipbomb

[@K-I-R-B-Y-Y-Y-Y飲料]

try paper mache with flour and water it hardens rock solid

[@K-I-R-B-Y-Y-Y-Y飲料]

im not sure bc the kast time i did it was when i was 5

[@craft_origami_diychannel9286]

Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

[@deniseperez1416]

Go girl

[@Sophie-vc6mf]

Would like other cheese wax work

[@Ax-xo4ux]

for the fake blood- if you need thicker blood- use corn syrup, soy sauce, and the colorants you please and you'll get a thick and realistic blood substitute! - theater crazed vet student

[@giftmastergames6877]

Hi I just want to ask can you make a clear squishy but with hair pls 😜💞 thank you very much 😜😜😜💗

[@tutufru_69]

ik this is a DIY video but to get off food colouring stains or any other you can use a pink scrubbing patty i have no idea what is it called, you can find it at gas stations mostly (poland)

[@AdelaTomankova]

Oo this reminds me of the old craft hack videos!

[@sarahengland2983]

We do the eraser one Alltwen time at school but the teachers hate it cuz it's always dirty and gross But the trick is to to smooth it between ur fingers like like the hand thing to do to symbolise mony but just with two fingers and this maysound gross but If ur hands get sweaty doing it that's actually a good thing bc it helps to stick it together lol

[@ppastalicious]

Hello!!! I remember watching ur videos when i was at 5th grade and now im 16! I miss u so much❤

[@blue_bean8018]

13:54 you don’t actually have to rip it up in tiny pieces, you can just leave it for a few hours and stir it every now and then. It would become weaker

[@limak859]

With the diy wat gun thing I literally did it the day I watched this video as it got as high as 35 degrees Celsius and I did it before I watched the video .💕🙂

[@irelandsims7098]

Can I please have a needle and syringe and buff bear Mochi oh I love your mochi squishy videos

[@FreakInAgony]

Wow you know the eraser putty? I ever did that like when i was 7 im not 13 (2022)

[@ElizabethArtsLizzie]

If you do not have shaving foam and baking soada you can just use a bar of soap and scrub as hard as you can and it will get food coloring off your hands in no time

[@Creative-me464]

Can u pls make a detorial of makings plushie

[@venomdragonden]

Dear Maqaroon, you haven’t been posting needle felting for a long time, could you please make more needle felting videos please? Love your videos

[@s0m3on3e]

I thought you were actually going to use the cheese for the lip balm and I was like ew 😅

[@fairybread6072]

If you shake one end of a air head for a few minutes you will get a small ball of it in the package its true

[@matilda8800]

This is off topic but your voice is super southing to me and I love your videos

[@Dionnnnz]

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT A LARGE BALL OF KOALA COOKIES AND NOT ENJOY THEM INDIVIDUALLY :'((

[@marissa-jadeabernethy1848]

The 3d printed bottle cup reminds ne of Thomas the tank engine lol

[@GalaxiaGlimmerDrawz]

As a kid I always used to use the eraser dust to make puddy😂

[@tisyalai7975]

The bottle cap is kinda creepy tho and you can use black erasers for the putty eraser then it’s easier to make. Btw, IV BEEN DOING THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNG :)

[@Vinz11411]

I have the same shirt as urs it’s the anime girl and i bought them from zara

[@slime4thecats95]

“What you REALLY need is soy sauce!”

[@yukiiiiiiiiiiiiiii1]

Hi u make no more videos on the German channel

[@flower742l]

other than shaving cream/foam we can also use tooth paste

[@mrs.perfectly.fine.]

I would recommend adding a bit of moisture to the rubber 💕

[@JeanneXx]

Does the glue bubbles only work with the uhu glue?

[@sohana1676]

We are waiting for your video

[@celextea]

Looks so satisfying

[@torilaplante2850]

Lol too realistic for me to watch sorry but great job

[@elviamazariego2722]

Can foam face wash also work for the color remover?

[@biasmee]

UHU is pronounced as o-ho? i say it like u-h-u

[@Cockroaches.pillow]

You can make a candle with baby bell

[@underscore_exclamationmark2180]

[@zestybutterfly7161]

Why didn't you give a trigger warning for the chocolate ball!? It looked like a diaper! 🤢 I'm sure it was tasty anyway!

[@maqaroon]

I've had a baby-toddler for 3 years and never seen a diaper like that 😂

[@slenderman3195]
