A New Way to Make Custom Pins!!

[Music] hey it's me today i am going to be doing a craft kit whoa whoa yeah i always love the idea of art and craft kits it's a box that you buy that's got everything you need and all you have to do is bring the creativity and boom it's wonderful in concept i used to do a lot of these and i just kind of stopped because so many of them ended up being disappointments um to be honest either they are geared toward very young people and there's just not enough creative freedom step one step two step three and then at the end yay you've got the same exact thing that every person that bought this kit has i want to create on the other side you have the kits that are directed to older people add custom calligraphy to your file folders available in black white gray and off-white can you die of boredom i'm sorry but i just can't get excited about a lot of the kits that they market toward adults i don't know why adults aren't allowed to love color i can't appreciate neutrals check out my house not this part of it but the rest of my house you know you'll see a lot of neutrals and limited color palettes because it's calming it's nice but if i'm gonna be creating art give me the color give me everything cute that i love that's what art is to me it's fun and i know i'm not the only one like that so why don't we have more things like this on the market i don't know someone needs to create it why are you looking at me i met someone else anyway i'm really hoping that you can't see the mosquito bites on my cheek i went outside this week and i was very rudely attacked on my face okay this is the kit that i have selected this is actually geared toward adults it's definitely not the same level of boring as a lot of the other adult kits that i've seen though and i think we may be able to alter it just a little bit and inject a little more fun and lift of energy i just spit all over the place i have some ideas okay it's glass stone art craft kit okay i'm thinking that these little things you can make pins with i love that kind of crap these are all pins that i've made lots of little clutter it's my favorite so i'm thinking that i'm going to enjoy this learn how to create stunning artworks with the glass stone art craft kit from eye-catching ornaments to statement necklaces the 10 projects in this kit will build and develop your glass stone art skills oh that does not sound good it may have dropped my camera and now whenever i turn it on it [Music] it makes that sound please let's open this box oh they all fell out so here's what we have a book let book booklet it's a smallish book wow wow wow how is there so much information i mean honestly it's better to have more instructions than necessary than less so i do appreciate this they also have this packet of decorative paper i will say these are some pretty pretty designs pretty pretty designs but also there's no rainbows there's no ice cream these little glass doo hookies they come in the package like little bitty cookies it looks like i'm holding a drop of water it's so shiny and clear i love it we also have huge ones do i look like a fish or do i just look stupid probably stupid and then a container of craft glue so very minimal supplies in here wait a second i thought we were gonna make statement necklaces and ornaments why don't they include the stuff to hmm this kit was very cheap i paid 8.99 but actually they've since increased in price i would honestly rather pay a little bit more and get everything for the project instead of getting half the stuff there's just like not that much here i know it's a lot easier to criticize than to actually put something together from scratch but i think they could have done a little bit better i guess it doesn't really matter for my purposes because i wasn't gonna make a necklace anyway oh look at my statement necklace i'm actually going to try to create custom backgrounds for mine these are nice i will save them probably never use them let me start reading on how to glue glass onto paper wow it's weird this isn't like referencing the kit at all it's almost like this book wasn't made to go in the kit okay so after all the nonsense we arrive at the first project which is the peacock paperweight a paperweight does anyone actually use paperweights does anyone it exactly what it looks like you take one of these you take something pretty you glue it on top that's basically it all this extra stuff is just words and common sense and ideas for things where you need additional supplies it doesn't even give you enough to make the paperweight because you're supposed to add felt to the bottom we don't have felt i mean i could because i have felt but you're really going to make that assumption that every person has felt i don't think that's fair what i'm basically gonna spend the rest of my time doing is kind of ignoring this kit and i'm just gonna have fun making some cool custom pins and i'm gonna design them myself we are breaking away we are going rogue i'll let you stay but i just want you to know that you were a little bit of a disappointment how am i going to make the custom images for my pins i'll be back i just got an ipad recently this is the first ipad i've ever had in my life and i'm able to draw on it and it's so much fun i'm going to be creating the images digitally you alert alert we have a defective bubble also these aren't called bubbles i believe the book called them cabochons i kind of like saying bubble better yeah that was my phone we have to get the size of these the big ones a two inch diameter an inch and a quarter very small doing the facial recognition come on you know me one and a quarter inch by one and a quarter inch this is gonna make it much easier to draw because instead of drawing in a space this big we get to draw in a space this big oh i have to decide what i'm gonna draw before i get started with the drawing though this is just a reminder i announced this last week my georgie plush is available in my store so make sure to check the link this is a limited plush so if you want one there's only a week left to get him the next time you see me time is gonna be basically out so don't wait don't forget about georgie all right now i'm gonna get into the art for this hey i'm here now it's my turn so i started with something simple these are all in a circular format so obviously i must start with a donut come on please i drew this donut with the frosting kind of melting off of it i wanted maximum frosting area to work with because more frosting area means more area for sprinkles [Music] looking back i probably should have made those sprinkles a lot thicker since this image is going to be very small very tiny sprinkles are going to be even tinier could be hard to see you done messed up a little bit dummy that's okay i forgive you there's my glossy donut design and now i'm warmed up okay i'm going in with the next one i'm getting real comfortable i wanted to do a little character so i'm drawing a bear with his head stuck in a cherry which may sound uncomfortable well it is just look at that face you can tell i just love drawing irritated characters they're so cute this however not cute that probably sounds disgusting yes please stop i realize it looks kind of like an apple but it's not it's a cherry and oh man digital art dude ugh it will never completely replace traditional art for me the yumminess of real paint i can't even think of never experiencing that also i hate that i just use the word yumminess but so many things are just so much easier with digital art i mean there's no mess the layering is effortless the undo button blending is just the easiest thing ever and there he is my grumpy cherry berry this next one actually came from an idea i had in my last video i mentioned putting butterfly wings on a cat if you saw last week's video you know why that didn't end up happening but i decided to do a quick and simple design of a pastel rainbow cat with some little butterfly wings the lower body gave me a little bit of trouble and it looks a little weird but i think it's still kind of cute overall for this one you can see i'm starting out with some drippiness and look at this i didn't get the right shot the first time oh well do it again ah digital art so i'm drawing a watermelon that is right the strawberry watermelon restriction is over it's been like over a month since i decided to deprive myself of watermelon and strawberry themed designs since you know i've done them a few times before but i think i'm back at it again now did i cheat a couple times during the restriction maybe it was a good effort i'm always trying to figure out how to include the look of the inside and the outside of the watermelon in a creative way so here i have the watermelon kind of oozing out dripping over the outside i think it looks pretty darn cool i was supposed to be doing super simple designs for these because they are going to end up so small this one i may have gotten a little carried away but it has to be my favorite one of them all so i'm not complaining since these glass bubble things kind of reminded me of fish eyes [ __ ] i decided to draw a fish this is orange fishy with a glow up i gave her a flower crown kind of look but with you know see stuff and i just had so much fun with this i am loving the colors of it and the last one i'm going for another little animal design and she is wearing an actual flower crown i went for slightly muted pastelish colors on this one and normally i love that kind of vibe but just a note i think when everything was all said and done the designs that i preferred were the ones that had the more bright saturated colors they looked better under that glass so if i did this again i may have gone with some brighter colors here especially for the background okay my computer is heaving right now please be quiet why are you stressing what are you working on sorry if the light looks weird uh my ring light just spontaneously died on me i got it back on but now i'm afraid to touch it i did threaten to kill it a couple weeks ago i hate that my ring light is like always reflecting i might kill you one of these days so i'm wondering if this isn't retaliation for that comment i think i'm gonna have to get a new light i've been drawing for a couple hours now these are all really simple designs but i had a lot of fun but not necessarily better than the designs that they provided in the kit skill wise they may be worse i just like making things custom and making things my own i've already loaded my printer with cardstock paper since they say to use the thickest paper you can got them now we actually assemble these things hello oh gosh always the butthole thank you it's not food opie it's not food it's not all we've got to do is just take the stone clean it off oh my bad i just ruined this bottle take some glue put it on a paintbrush spread it on to the back of the stone and then just place it down on top of the image pretty freaking simple really sign up for a challenge when you get an adult kick how long is it supposed to take whoopsies i was supposed to press firmly for 30 seconds didn't do that are you done now moving [Music] along alrighty i got all my little bubbles glued on one quick note if you decide to do this and you use a printer make sure that you have a laser printer um if you are using an inkjet printer you're probably going to want to seal the ink with something because the glue will probably make that ink spread the book says to use scissors i'm thinking a better tool is a knife i'd say that's a pretty precise cut right there there's just nothing like the precision of an exacto let's keep going they turned out nice they're very cute i am gonna make all of them into pins i'm just gonna use tacky glue and that'll be fine i actually looked online and you can get these little glass bobble things what are they called cappuccins for the same price i paid for the kit i could have gotten 60 of them so oops those are mismatched that's definitely gonna bother someone it's on the back you're never gonna see it i really couldn't care less look i'm gonna do it intentionally this time you're gonna cry about it this video wasn't really about the kit i just kind of did my own thing and had fun and i actually really did enjoy this process this was a fun way to make pins i'm really happy with them this was really a cool way to turn your digital art into something physical do i think you should go out and get this kit i'm [Music] you know especially if you're planning on making your own art then there's really absolutely no point in getting the kit i mean if you just want to use a scrapbook paper then maybe but even though the kit wasn't really all that great i'll give it some credit it did give me the idea i hope you guys enjoyed this video and i hope you like the little designs that i made and i will see you next week bye
