Do a fishtank skull. Some fish with the plants floating in the resin from the base of the skull

Sewing skulls with needle and thread, knitting skulls full of yarn

[@StrandedLifeform]

Hi Ben and Nicole. I've been very busy and got behind in watching your videos, but that's ok because now I can sit and binge over the weekend. 🎉 Happy Birthday, Ben 🎉 A couple ideas for themed skulls, how about using your 3D printer and make miniature car logos for people who are into cars. Also miniature animals of various types.

[@ADHDVLOGS]

D&D dice Skulls, I think, would pair nicely. You can buy molds for the dice off Temu as well.

[@scottstephens616]

Skulls look amazing 😊 You should try and find mini cue balls 🎱🎱 and do a skull. 💀

[@Happy_dayz90]

I know it’s been done but if you go to the closest firing range and get bullet casings for the hunter they sell well.. Or maybe some arrow heads or something but you’d have to be very careful as tri tips and broad heads are very sharp. Or maybe some hot wheels or light model cars or car parts for the car nuts .. I’m full of ideas I could keep rattling them off all day haha

[@QueenQuill]

On the golf skull, you should drill an askew hole into the top of the skull and stick a golf tee in it in a skiwampus (word of the day?) manner!

[@ProfessorChaosKitty]

I don't know about anybody else, but when I see any ball of that particular brand I feel like yelling out "WIILLLLLSOOOONNNNN!!!"

[@ericasibley8086]

Guys you got the best candy at number one swedish fish or the bomb and that tennis skull looks so amazing. The golf one you should try to see if you can make the golf tee in the the ball sit on the golf tee that would look so cool

[@charlesnorman1072]

Maybe on one skull that you put the small golf balls in you can coat them with glow in the dark resin then let that set then put into your skull with resin poured on them

[@DirtBoyTrucker]

Just a random thought 💭 for the golf idea, I agree the tee will look great 🏌🏼‍♂️.. But I wonder if you could create a hole in the green with a single ball right at the hole. I can picture it in my head. Might be a cool challenge considering you might need to cut a hole up to the clear, then just fill with clear or brown for dirt. It's strange how I get these ideas and I don't even try to make them. Like everything, I live vicariously through you guys. Have a great day. ⛳

[@MonaLyssa33]

As a cat lady, I think you should do a skull with cats in it. Also I think a globe or map, or something geography-related would be cool for travelers and geography buffs. I collect globes so I'd be very interested in buying one.

[@sandradavid4080]

We live next to a golf course in Western Australia and every time we go on the roof to check gutters etc, we find golf balls, not from wayward golf swings 16:51 but from crows picking them up and dropping them on the roof

[@AcrylicArtByBeauxandAnn]

Hi Ben and Nicole! Happy early Birthday Ben! 45? That’s young!! I’ll be 52 in 12 days. I have a few suggestions/ideas for you to try in the skulls. 1. Maybe something auto mechanic related, 2. Maybe something home improvement/construction related, 3. Maybe hair stylist/cosmetology related, 4. Maybe Firefighter related, 5. Maybe EMS/Paramedic/Medical field related and last suggestion/idea, 6. Maybe Police/Law Enforcement related. Hope you are all well! Love all your content. 💜

[@erinnobert3193]

11:05 how did she not giggle when you said "in the a hole" Lmao 😂 I sure did lol

[@jaxjackson4100]

Happy birthday, Ben. Some ideas for items to put in the skulls, 1. old computer memory, cpu, etc. 2. Cotton fluff, think brain fog. 3. Just the letters I and Q.... 4. Small animal skulls, mouse, squirrel, etc.. to make shipping int'l 3d or resin print these. 5. For those who get the reference, a blown fuse..... 6. Resistors... "Resistance is futile. " .... sorry 7. And lastlt idea for now.... a mirror. Self reflection. Love the vids, thank you again mate.

[@michaelripley4528]

Great ideas…🤙🏻

[@billc.6381]

A 2x2 rubrics cube would look pretty awesome in a skull.

[@CarolErnst-j3x]

HI guys, suggestions for fillers, chess pieces, beer, could you fit and octopus in a scull mold? The fishing one will be intersting to see. How is your fish tank going? Happy Birthday for next week Ben 🎂 I love watching what you guys create, you do some amazing stuff 🙂

[@tonikimpel7891]

Happy Birthday Ben ❤. I just turned 60 two weeks ago. Was dreading it until the day came and went without any change 😂😂😂

Could do one special for brain surgeons. Haven't read all the comments to see if anyone else mentioned the idea. Happy birthday too.

[@mandyseaney4066]

Happy Birthday 🎉 for the skulls, I love Lego and gardening. How about a scull with 1x1 round plates of Lego in different colours. And one with little flowers and veg for the gardening? Love you guys❤

[@emmagrimsby8497]

Skulls turned out fab. Really nice job both. The ideas are endless .... An early Happy birthday to you Ben, hope you have a great day🎉❤

[@ellishansen8115]

Hi guys. You two crack me up! There are several very funny lines, in this video. Love the results, with the golf and tennis balls. They both turned out exceptionally good! Thanks for the entertainment!

[@diedregarrard8013]

6:14 - you could always include them in your sports skull orders for people as stress relievers!

[@mickfitz76]

Look like Elton John with the hair😂

[@delourispadgett3001]

Maybe on those smaller balls you could put them in resin, hold them down somehow and put them in vacuum chamber to get the resin into the balls when you get ready to try them. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN, and Nicole dont forget to give him his birthday whacks, lol

[@lindahoytmartin]

For the fishing one, do one for the fly fishing person. The flies they used are tied with feathers and such. Would be really pretty.

[@leospitz6541]

I wonder if you could use a syringe to inject resin into the balls to make them solid and heavy?

[@theresafitzgerald6726]

35 degs sounds like bliss Ben. I'm in the Swan Valley, Perth WA and it's 42 degs today. Just help show my girlfriend how to check her oil, in the sun 🥵 my reward is watch your latest blog 😅. Love your videos. I learn so much from you both. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put these together.

[@elf5012]

Golf and tennis skulls are clever; they look fantastic.

[@Snowball_Philodendron]

I love skull's skeletons insects all that kind of stuff

[@tredici72]

👍They turned out great!.. you gotta do one with peanuts😅

[@michellesuniqueboutique3405]

Trying new things is part of learning process. I think both skulls turned out great. As for the candy tasting.. the faces were priceless with the Sour building blocks. Another of the time with most of our candies the color kind of corresponds with flavor. Meaning most different colors in a thing of candy they will have some differences with tastes.Like the yellow is more like a lemon, pink is watermelon, red is cherry,green is usually green apple, purple is grape, orange is obviously orange etc. Hope that helps with future taste tests. Now the salt water taffy there is over 100s of flavors. Have fun, take care n happy creating.

[@JFLATTERMANN]

A knitter or crochet skull would be nice. As a crafters themed one.❤

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Happy Birthday, Ben 🎉 I had my birthday a few weeks ago - I'm 25 years older than you! I don't know how I got this old! Your natural hair is much nicer than the rug. 😊

Thankyou!!!!! 😊

[@darrinplank]

Happy birthday. Add yellow to the blue to make green. Looks awesome.

[@N.U.Biness]

Pretty sure that resin is going to either melt , cause a massive crack or air bubbles or combination of the above. I think y'all will need to paint on a sealing exterior layer of resin to avoid any of those issues. Love the videos and seeing the process y'all work so hard and diligently at. ❤. Happy Birthday Ben and God bless you and the whole family all the four legged members as well

[@kellyw.1779]

Hey Ben and Nicole! Love the skulls, they turned out awesome. Different themed ones is a fun idea. For the fisherman theme, with the hooks, maybe some weights and a few of the round bobbers/floats, they float too. Lol The possibilities are endless, how fun to think of all the goodies to put in them. Glad y'all tried some candy, the sourness does come from the outside coating of citric acid, I love sour candies.😁 Can't wait to see the new eggs and other cool projects. Big hugs from Texas!🤩😍

[@candytlew77]

Happy early birthday Ben. I have a birthday coming up also!! Mine is on Valentine’s Day. I need to send you some more American Candy for your birthday. You should try hot tamales and milk dud’s. They are delicious. Also Reese’s Pieces are awesome

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Happy birthday, Ben and Nicole!!! My birthday is in September. I turned 55 on my last birthday. It was my fist milestone. My dad passed away in 2001, less than 2 months before his 55th birthday.

[@TruthIsTheNewH8]

Yeah I'm one of those (old people) too. Just recently realized I look good in a flat cap so I went out and got one with some slacks, suspenders, a button up shirt, and dress shoes. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?

I've got to know what Red Skin flavour is! the suspense guys lol. Also the golf balls look like bubble gum I used to get as a kid from the penny tray. Skulls look great. Love the vlogs, a warm hearted distraction from.... Thank you, love to all ✨✨

[@garzilla7123]

I think it's cool you guys getting to try the different American Candies. I have tried sour gummies, but generally most gummies aren't for me but I do like sour hard candies. The tennis ball skull 💀 looks pretty awesome and it looks like the seams are evenly centered, and the golf ⛳ skull 💀 looks pretty cool too. 🙂👍👍👍

Happy early birthday, Ben, and here's hoping you reach 7.5 k subs on this channel by then

Maybe put some golf tees in the skull and a thin layer of green on the bottom.

The green is DEFINITELY a good idea.

[@JamesSavage-i7f]

Honestly , like everything in life it's all personal preference. With brands, but if you made up some many of the brands you have access to and do custom orders . It would be more personal , for the buyers friend, dad , grandpa , mom ,etc. Nice concept.

Oh, and happy birthday, Ben! My birthday is also next week, and I was thinking we were around the same age. Turning 47 here.

[@artulovehandmade3862]

Love watching your videos 👍😊 I was thinking maybe you could coat the miniature sport balls in uv resin to make them heavier so they don't float when setting in epoxy resin 👍😊

Great skulls 😄 love the tennis ball one.

[@iamonlyme9514]

FYI red skins are now called Red Ripperz

[@BrianSebby]

With all of the options you have for various sports and other hobbies, I could see you a whole series of " on the brain" skulls, maybe with a 3d-printed display stand for that hobby. I could see a lot of things fitting into these skulls, from balls from different sports, Matchbox / Hot Wheels for folks into different types of vehicles, Lego bricks, etc. When I was a kid I had a ton of the Micro Machines planes, and I bet a handful of those would look cool, too. I'd also be curious to see if 3D prints would hold up in resin, or if they'd melt - that would open up all sorts of possibilities if that could work. Oh, and if there was some way for you to suspend something in a skull that would form a void, I think a skull snowglobe would look really cool, though I'm not sure how you would fill it - maybe drill a hole in the bottom and then add a stopper? Might be something that you would have customers fill themselves rather than ship them a liquid that could spill everywhere. :)

[@danareed1656]

would those small gulf balls fit in the eye sockets of the skulls

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

i really love the tennis skull too! also with those colors they form the ukranian flag lol. i like the grass effect on the golf one tho, both are cool to see. some horse themed skull maybe next time?
