(funky intro music) - Hello friends, and welcome to another video. Today, I'm going to be trying out some delectable looking candle art hacks. As if I needed another excuse to eat wax. - [Tyler] Don't eat it. Don't. I promised my mom! - It tastes pretty good. Now in the past, we've tried recreating our fair share of clickbaity hack videos, some beauty hacks, some fashion hacks, some photo slash video hacks, and some soap art hacks that may or may not have been dangerous. - Cinnamon? No! No, no. - [Safiya] With an overall pretty hit or miss track record. They look like slabs of bacon. They look like meat. And I would say that usually, my reaction to these kinds of hacks is negative at worst
and incredulous at best. Having tried so many and having had so many of them fail. I put too much on. I need help. I've become a bit jaded, but when I set eyes on
these candle art hacks, I fell in lust. These things just look
straight up awesome, and I must have them. So this hack recreation video is driven by pure, unadulterated desire. Now the main video that
sparked my fire here is this one from Blossom called, "Get Lit with Drink Inspired Candles," where they detail how you
might catfish your friends with candles that look like summer drinks, milkshakes, lattes, you name it. You can't drink it. So as a person who enjoys candles to arguably an unhealthy degree, and who also likes to
investigate the legitimacy of these types of videos, I decided to pick out a few key clickbait candle art hacks from this video and others to try to recreate today, and we'll see if we have a three wick candle's chance in hell of pulling this off, because I've been burned before. - [Tyler] Oh my God. It's like the end of a "Saw" movie. - [Safiya] By Blossom and also by candles. All right. So we are gonna dive right in with the margarita candle hack. Now I figured that we
had to do the margarita, because it's kind of like the marquis Blossom candle art hack, and I think amongst all of the candles that look like drinks, this one is the most
impressively realistic. And basically the way this hack works is that you melt down some gel wax and then cut it up to make ice cubes, then salt the rim of your margarita glass with shaved tealight, then meltdown, color, and scent some more gel wax for the marg itself, and then assemble your parts to arrive in Margaritaville. Now I think our first step here is to melt some jelly wax to make into fake ice cubes. Using this silicone mold. Now... (laughs) One thing that is a dynamic here is that for some reason, jelly wax seemed to be like, very sold out at all of the craft stores near us. So we had to go for a
bulk amount of jelly, like for professional candlemakers. - [Tyler] Less crafty, more wholesale. - Exactly.
- [Tyler] Industrial supply. - Exactly. (jelly wax thumps)
(Tyler laughs) It feels like I got this from like, an old-school like, butcher. So like, this is a shank. (slaps jelly wax)
- [Tyler] Wow. You're slapping it? - This is a flank. (slaps) - [Tyler] Slapping the bag? - Look at that. This is a steak. And we needed to extract 12 ounces of gel wax for our ice
cube-making purposes. It looks sharp, but it feels soft. So I'm just gonna saw some off and measure it out. Does that seem about right? Oh my word. What a bizarre substance. - [Tyler] It does look
like you're carving a rock. - [Safiya] Now, we did kind of make up the 12 ounce measurement here. Ohhhh. Ooh, that was kind of fun. - [Tyler] Yeah! (Safiya laughs evilly) - I'm getting the hang of it now, ha ha! As usual, even for the more complicated, like crafty hacks, these guys really give us no specific instructions at all. So like in the past, we had to do a lot of freeze framing and guesstimating here. All right, so now that our
gel wax is measured out. Yep. This is all I needed to do. - [Tyler] That's the video. - That's the video. Thanks for watching everyone. I am going to put this guy on the hot plate and melt it. Ooh, it looks cool. It's kind of like a large iceberg. - Oh, oh.
- Oh my God. - [Tyler] Yeah, maybe you
gotta push it back down. Okay.
- That kind of worked. - [Tyler] That worked pretty well. - [Safiya] And once our
gel wax was fully melted. That's pretty good! We poured it into our ice cube mold and let it cool. Now in the hack video, these hardened instantaneously, and then they just chop
them into smaller ice cubes, but obviously we have to
let them actually cool. So I'm going to push them to the side, and then we're going to focus on the abdomen of the margarita, the thorax of the margarita. - [Tyler] What are you,
the Leonardo DiCaprio meme? Oh my God. - Yeah, with me and my
bizarro jelly candle. All right. Back to the slab. (jelly wax thumps) - [Tyler] Oh my God. - [Safiya] And we had to
measure out another 10 ounces of gel wax for the marg itself. Yum. And on goes the hot plate. Now, while this is melting, I am going to work ahead a little bit, just because I feel like once we get into the final stages of this hack, we're going to have to move fast, because I don't want like, the jelly wax to harden at any point. So I jumped into grating my tea light to make the margarita salt. Oh, this is happening fast. This could be the end of this grater. It's just like covered in wax now. Okay, I just discovered a superpower. I can actually just crumble the tea lights with my hand. - [Tyler] Oh wow, Saf Bae. - [Safiya] Wooah! - [Tyler] That's actually Saf Bae. - What a specific and useless superpower. So with the tea lights shredded, it looks more like parmesan. - [Tyler] It looks again nice parm. - [Safiya] And our main
margarita mix melted. We actually had to go back and slice our ice cubes before we could put everything together. I almost forgot about them. Turns out that they were not
even close to being cool. So I put them in the
fridge for a few minutes. So hopefully they're all good now. I'm not sure if this was
Blossom's fault necessarily. Oh Tyler, it's still hot on this side. But they definitely don't tell you how long these things take to solidify. I think that's why it's so misshapen, because it's not like fully cool yet, see? And it is quite a while. All right, let me chop this one. These ones will sit in the fridge for, while I chop this one. But eventually, we were
able to extract our gel. Get out of there, you fool! And slice them into
passable looking ice cubes. That looks okay. - [Tyler] That looks like
an ice cube, kind of. - [Safiya] They look like what I imagined Turkish delights to look like when I read "The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe." And then it was time to get our Jimmy Buffet on and assemble our candle. All right. Let's do this.
- Go. - [Safiya] Gel wax going into Pyrex. - [Tyler] Yes, nice and clear. - [Safiya] Now the top
of the margarita glass is going in to the top. There I go. Did I get it? I think so. Now it's going straight into the salt. Margarita salt, baby. I'm talking about salt baby! - [Tyler] Bonus dangler there? - [Safiya] It's a little dangly. Okay, well, moving on. That'll be the back of the candle. So with the rim sorta salted, next up was the colorant
and lime essential oil. - [Tyler] Green and yellow? - [Safiya] Yeah, so it's like lime green. - [Tyler] Okay, got it. Okay. - [Safiya] This is what they do, okay? - [Tyler] Okay, okay.
Never question Blossom. Except always question Blossom. Rarely believe Blossom. (Tyler laughs) - [Safiya] All right. So now we've got to move fast, because it is solidifying
a little bit at the bottom. - [Tyler] No, we gotta do the wick first. - You're right. You're so right.
(Tyler laughs) I forgot about the wick! Oh there we go, there we go, there we go. I partially blame Blossom for me forgetting the wick here, because they don't really mention it. Their wick just appears. Okay.
- Nice. - [Safiya] And in goes the liquid. - [Tyler] Leave a little space for the... - [Safiya] The cubes! I
forgot the cubes cubes! - [Tyler] Yeah, get the cubes. Yeah, it looks like a margarita though, in my opinion.
(Safiya gasps) - [Safiya] Here comes one cube. Now I think a combination of me trying to make sure the ice was visible. It's adding volume, but I can't see the cubes. And also just pure panic. - [Tyler] Keep going in. Keep at it. - [Safiya] Is this about to overflow? - [Tyler] Just keeps stacking them. - [Safiya] All right,
I need one right there. Led to me adding in too many ice cubes and kind of overfilling our glass. It's very, very full. - [Tyler] Yeah, it is. - Someone is getting blackout.
(Tyler laughs) And unfortunately my cup runnething over led to the demise of the salted rim. Yeah, I think I see
the salt at the bottom. I think that's it. - [Tyler] Oh yeah. (Safiya laughs) - [Safiya] It's kind of sad, because I actually think we pulled off most of the other steps pretty well. I just scarfed it right at the end. So even though this one
was probably passable, we decided to try it one more time. See if we could get that
true catfish cocktail. There we go.
- Okay. - [Safiya] That is salt. With everything exactly the same. - [Tyler] Wick it! - All right, yes, wick. Ahahaha! - John Wick 2. - Electric Boogaloo. But just with a little less margarita mix in the glass and a few fewer ice cubes. There's one. I'm putting the big ones on the bottom. - Yeah.
- There's two. - [Tyler] Nice stable base. - [Safiya] There's five. Oh, this is coming together for me. And then like one here or something? Or there. Here. - There.
- Here. - That one.
- This one. - Yep.
- This one. - [Tyler] Yeah.
(Safiya laughs) - [Safiya] And that
seemed to do the trick. - All right, that actually
looks pretty good. The perfectionist in me is mostly pleased. So though I do have to complain about Blossom's continuous
lack of measurements and specific instructions, i.e. with the timing of things, I do have to say, this is probably the closest we've ever gotten to recreating one of their original products. - [Tyler] It looks
amazing from this angle. - [Safiya] Then film it from that angle. - Okay.
- Only and forever. And with one in the hand, we then had to test how it functioned as a candle. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to let this cool. And then we'll come back, trim the wick, and light em up. The moment of truth. Now, this candle does work, as in you can light the wick. There she blows! ♪ This candle's on fire ♪ And it does look good. All right, ready? I'm going to do the Blossom bit. Can I drink this? No, it's a flame. (Tyler laughs) But one thing I don't like about it is that the ice cubes are sort of first up in the line of fire. Literally. So they're going to melt pretty quickly. So, that is a little bit sad. That's the problem with
these cute candles, is you don't want them to melt ever. And in terms of the scent, I don't think I'm getting much smell yet. The lime essential oil is actually trapped underneath the ice cubes, in like the drink portion. - [Tyler] That is a flaw
in candle architecture. - [Safiya] So we probably
should have scented the whole thing, because as is, you won't be able to smell anything until you've already used up over half the candle. All right, is that enough? So I'm just going to keep it as is. All right, I'm going to blow it out. I think I'm done. And just look at it. I'm done. It worked. It's pretty cute. It was kind of hard, but it's done. So with a W in the visual column and a meh in the nasal cavity, it's on to hack number two. The latte candle hack, also from this same Blossom video. And basically the way it works is you make a plain brown drink base, pour it into a glass mug. - [Tyler] Look at that fancy-ass handle. - [Safiya] And then you whip up some wax into a kind of frosting that you pipe onto your latte. I guess it's not really a latte, right? It's not really like latte art. It's more like whipped cream on top of any brown liquid. Now, I would say the main
attraction of this hack for me is the whipped cream portion, because this idea of whipping your wax up into a pipable frosting seems to appear a lot in these hacks. And despite how easily they do it, it seems pretty hard. Now we have successfully
whipped soap before. - Yes.
- It did take a long time to get the soap to act like frosting, but we've done it. So I guess I just want to see if it's possible to do with candle wax. And the first step to
this latte candle hack is to make the drink itself. Now, one of the fallacies
of all of these hacks is that they don't usually like specify which type of candle wax they're using. And there are a few different types. In this instance, we think it looks like soy wax, because it's flaky, but we could be wrong. And we decided it looked like around eight ounces of soy wax. Ooh, this looks tasty. It also kind of smells
like white chocolate chips. Then we threw it onto
the double boiler to melt and dropped in a brown crayon. All right, I have to disrobe him first. What? Why can't I... There we go. To give it its coffee color. Now that is a naked crayon. (crayon snaps)
Oh! Boom. All right, it is melting. I am just going to stir a little bit. Oh yeah. It's kind of got like a
vague minestrone vibes, I would say, or like tomato soup plus garlic. So with the wax melted and looking pretty brown, next up Blossom adds in a few drops of coffee oil to give the candle its scent. I think they just put as many drops as they feel like. So I think I'm just going
to go do the whole thing. - Go ham.
- Fun. Then what they do next here, is they pour their brown candle wax into their like latte cup. - [Tyler] Whoa, Nelly! - [Safiya] And then put the wick in after. Here comes the wick. John Wick. And then use popsicles to like, get the wick centered. Ta-da! And once that was all done, we had to let it harden. So we turned our attention
to the whipped cream. Frosting, latte foam, whatever it is. So I put the remaining
soy wax into a Pyrex and melted it in the microwave, because you can do that with this soy wax. All right, It's pretty clear. And it's just faster. So now what I'm pretty sure we do is just use the electric mixer and just blend the crap out of it until it turns into whipped cream? - [Tyler] Yes. - All right, I guess let's do it. There aren't really any
more instructions to this. It just seems to magically
become whipped cream after a few serious jump cuts. So we decided to blend and hope for the best. All right, it just looks
like oil right now. - [Tyler] Yeah. - [Safiya] Now, as I suspected, this isn't really as
simple as it seems is. Is anything happening? - [Tyler] Not yet.
(Safiya laughs) - [Safiya] How long do I do this for? For forever? Because it just stays a
liquid for a very long time. Is this going to be forever? I almost wonder if I started off too hot, because I feel like I just roiled around some liquid for awhile. - [Tyler] I feel like I
see something happening. No. - I don't know that you do. But eventually, we started to see a film and some cloudiness. Finally. After 84 years, it's getting cloudy. Though it did seem to stay at vaguely cloudy (mixer whirs)
- [Tyler] C'mon. - [Safiya] For quite a while, Maybe you should walk away and then something will happen. But I think some combination
of it cooling down. - [Tyler] All right, fluff you bastard! (Safiya laughs) - [Safiya] Us hand mixing like crazy. - [Tyler] Curdle! Curdle! - [Safiya] And scraping
the backsplash on the sides back into the bowl. My workspace has descended into hell. Get back in there. Started to push us in the right direction. What is life? - [Tyler] I don't know. - [Safiya] What is life, if not wax? And then after legitimately doing this for 32 minutes. Oh? Oh? Our wax reached the right amount of cool and whipped to become cool whip. - All right.
- Ready? - [Tyler] Let's do it. Woo! - All right, after 40 hours, it's ready to go. But knowing how cool we had become, we needed to act fast to get the whipped cream
into the piping bag. Ready?
- Yeah. - Wah! Holy crap. This is madness. And onto the candle before it completely hardened. How do I do this again? - [Tyler] Just uh... Yeah, oh, oh, oh. - [Safiya] Holy (beep)! Holy (beep), it's working! Holy (beep)! - [Tyler] Build it up, Safiya. Build it up, build up, build up, build up. Keep going. Keep going. Oh yeah! (Safiya laughs) Oh yeah! - That was a horrible spiral. - [Tyler] It was pretty bad, but you got it. You got around town. That looks like whipped cream. - Honestly, I am shocked this worked. All right, just to redeem myself. Here's a nice spiral. - [Tyler] Show me the good one. You couldn't have done that like four inches to the left? (Tyler and Safiya laugh) - [Safiya] And I am also somewhat shocked by my poor frosting performance. - I wasn't ready for the wick. - No.
- The wick got in my way. - [Tyler] John Wick, dammit! - Why did I go so high? Oh my God, I almost
forgot the cinnamon stick! - [Tyler] Cinnamon stick! - No, no! - [Tyler] While it's still soft! Oh yeah. - [Safiya] Now, terrible
frosting job aside. This hack does seem to work. Should I do another round in there? - No, no, no.
- Okay, okay. Yeah, I don't want to ruin it more. Though the amount of time and effort it takes to make the wax into frosting is severely underrated by the hack video. I could go right there. - [Tyler] Will you stop? - [Safiya] Okay. (laughs) - Put the piping bag down, lady. - [Safiya] But improbably, I think Blossom might be two for two here. Once again, I'm a little bit sad about having to light this on fire. - Yeah.
- Because the cute part is at the top. Now as for the scent.. All right. Shall I sniff it? Oh. Yeah, that was just flame. That was just carbon monoxide. Like with the margarita, there's no scent at
the top of this candle. It doesn't smell like much. Though the plain soy wax does smell a tiny bit nicer than the plain jelly wax. It's not a strong smell. It doesn't really carry, but it is like a generally pleasant, cocoa butter-esque smell. But I don't think it's worth it to burn through all of our hard work just for vague cocoa butter vibes. Yeah, I'm not happy about that. I want to get rid of it. I want to blow it out. - Okay.
- I'm not pleased. So once again, I think I'll keep this as
more of a display piece or perhaps just a prank candle, bra. Oh my God, it's a candle! - [Tyler] What? Hold on. - Oh I sounded like a Troom
Troom girl there, didn't I? So with early stage tennis elbow, but a cute candle to show for it, we're on to hack number three. The cherry blossom hack. Now this is a step away from
the catfish drinks category. But when we saw this, we really wanted to try it. Mainly because it seemed way too easy and good to be true, which I would say some of the faster hacks in these videos seem to feel like. See this owl. Now this hack video is like
really short and sweet. It essentially entails
just melting down some wax, adding brown colorant, like dipping some braided
wicks into it for branches, and then melting down some pink wax, like sticking your
fingers into the pink wax, and then grabbing the branches to create cherry blossoms. Now as implied, we don't have a lot of instructions here. Blossom actually starts off
by twisting their wicks, but then they immediately dip them into their melted wax. So in real life, we had to start by prepping our wax first. Now for this hack, I'm going to be using paraffin wax. - [Tyler] A big old bag of wax. - [Safiya] Just because I feel like whenever I see people
sticking their hands into wax, it's paraffin. It's "All Star," but it's played on a
thick bag of paraffin wax. (Safiya pats the bag) (Tyler laughs) - That was pretty good.
- Right? And we decided to go with 12 ounces of the stuff, just to have enough to dip into. And while this is slowly melting, I'm going to twist our wicks to make our cherry blossom tree branches. - Twist it.
- It's not like actually braiding. - No.
- It's just twisting. It's like what that Conair machine does to your hair. And supposed to make a few, and then attach them to each other. Something like that. - [Tyler] Yeah, that looks like a slightly demonic twig. - [Safiya] It looks kinda
like a wishbone or something. - [Tyler] Oh, it looks
like a wishbone, yeah. - [Safiya] So with those prepared. That one looks like a saguaro cactus. We made short work of the paraffin island. Whoa! And added our brown
colorant to the melted wax. Oh, we're going to need a lot more. That just made it
vaguely like sepia toned. All right, so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to dip our branches into the paraffin wax, and then like lay them
back on this wax paper to dry slash cool. Now we learned the hard way that you kind of have to let your wax cool a bit before doing this. - Oh my God, it's untwisting! It untwisted. No! And also that you need way more than one coat of wax
to get a stiff branch. I think we're going to need like, actually many coats. Like they need to be able
to support themselves and also flowers. So in our quest to make them sturdy, we made them kind of thick. They kind of look like
very upsetting pretzels, like Rold Gold rejects. So with our lumpy twigs in hand, we had to melt down even more wax for our future blossoms, as well as figure out how to get our branches to stand up in our vase. Because it kind of seems like a blossom just lightly places them into something. But I feel like the branches are going to be top heavy, so I don't want them to like fall out. So we got a little bit of floral foam. That looks okay.
- That looks pretty good. - [Safiya] And I'm just
going to stab our branches into the foam. It looks like a little forest. I'm kind of pleased. And with our branches set up and melted wax prepped. Oh cute! It was time to make our blossoms. Okay, so now I just
stick my fingers in it? It feels, that feels hot. Blossom's hands just kind
of dive right in here and go straight into the wax. Should I just see what happens? - [Tyler] See how hot it is. - Ah! So monkey, see monkey do. Ah, that's hot. Oh, that's too hot. Too hot! Not ready. Too hot. - I guess they do say
to use warm wax here, but I don't know what that means exactly. All right, we've given the wax a couple of minutes to cool. Let's see what happens. Oh, it's hot. Oh my God, it's hot. Oh, ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! The burn came later. Ow, ow, ow. - [Tyler] I think something
could be happening. - [Safiya] Ow Tyler, this hurts. But as you can see, even letting it cool for a few minutes, didn't do too much for us. Fail. Oh no. Oh no. - Oh. Oh.
- No. All right, so um, it looks like I'm not
having that much luck just sticking my fingers into the wax and going directly onto the branch, partially because it's hot and partially because it doesn't seem to be sticking to the branch. It seems to be sticking to my fingers. So we did a little bit of other research, and it seems like involving a bowl of cold water could help, either by dunking my
fingers into it before or after dunking them in the wax. It seems like that could help my finger and the wax like release from each other. So we decided to go with water. All right, let's prep the fingers, poor fingers going through a lot today. Then wax. And then I grab onto a branch, right? - Yeah.
- Then tree. This feels better already actually. - Okay.
- Let me just hold the tree, and see if I can slide out of the DMS. Okay, the thumb's out.
- Thumbs out? - Thumb is out. Okay hold on, index is coming out. (Safiya gasps) - [Tyler] Oh, it's free! - [Safiya] All right, now
only the middle finger. Apologies to everyone. I'm just flipping everyone off. Oh. Oh. Ooh!
- Whoa! Oh my God, it's kind of okay. Okay, the front looks horrible, but this side looks cute. - [Tyler] Oh my God, it worked. - [Safiya] So adding some cold water into our process here seemed to make this thing kind of work. Not quite as smoothly as Blossom's clamp and go process. - [Tyler] Ooh, that was good. - [Safiya] But yielding
some flowers nonetheless. I will say the branches are a hair thick. - Yeah.
- Like I'm having to make sure to clamp my fingers together so the wax touches each other. The noises I'm making while doing this. But it is not not working. Okay, so that's not the
worst thing I've ever done. - No.
- Yay! I feel that way about a lot of the things that we've done today. That's not the worst. I think overall, this hack was a moderate success. The water was a pretty big missing step. So I would say the hack as presented is kind of incomplete, but in terms of a final product, I think we got pretty
close to what Blossom made. It doesn't look exactly like theirs, but it looks vaguely like a representation of a cherry blossom tree.
- Yeah. - [Safiya] Now in terms of how it fared as an actual handle, the whole thing is wick, so I don't necessarily
need to trim the wick unless I need to like
sort of expose the ends of each branch so I can light it. That would make sense. Yeah, I'm just doing a
little bit of like pruning. I'm Edward Scissorhanding. So in the Blossom video, they just light one
branch and then cut away. But I wanted to light all of the branches at once just to see what would happen. My flowers are gonna be
destroyed instantly, aren't they? Oh my God, this is hard. - [Tyler] These guys
are not trying to light. - [Safiya] And pretty quickly, we started getting some
rogue wax drippage. - [Tyler] We got some
droplets down the bowl. - [Safiya] And some serious flames. Okay, it's on fire. Oh, the flames are tall. No flowers have completely gone yet, but all of the flowers
are full of brown wax. I will say it was pretty
visually impressive. - [Tyler] It looks awesome. - [Safiya] But it did
feel a little dangerous. Okay, um... Is this a fire hazard? - [Tyler] Uh, probably. - Should I blow it out? - Let's blow it out.
- Okay. Whoa! That is a plume of smoke. Oh my God! - [Tyler] Hold onto your butts with the fire alarm! - [Safiya] So, as you guys saw, this thing is not really a candle. Like there's no slow burn factor here. - [Tyler] Its wax to
wick ratio is way off. - Its wax to wick ratio is whack. And it also doesn't smell like anything. Like there isn't any fragrance in it. So functionally, it's basically just a bouquet of matches. I was pleased with the thing that we had made before we lit it, but I am not happy about this. - So I think that as a
candle hack, it's a no. But as a fireball, it's going to be a yes from me dog. So that was our adventure into clickbait candle hacks. I got to say that overall, these hacks were more successful than any other hacks we've ever tried. We had the usual problem of no measurements and no specific instructions. Is this going to be forever? But I think that we were able to come away with some pretty cute looking objects, with a medium amount of troubleshooting, and a decent amount of dignity. I will say though, that while these things were successful and aesthetically pleasing crafts, they're not that fun to burn as candles. The first two are definitely better than the cherry blossom, and some of their problems could potentially be remedied by adding more scent into them, but I still feel sad about burning such beautiful wax. All right, I'm going to blow it out. I think I'm done.
- Yeah. - I'm done! The cherry blossom, however, is just a paraffin bush. I would not recommend
setting this thing on fire, as it seems like it would be better suited to being a Madame Tussauds wax figurine rather than a cottage core menorah. Okay, it's on fire. Oh, the flames are tall. So in conclusion, these hacks do kind of work, but you're putting in
a lot of elbow grease just to set them on fire. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you liked that video, make sure to shmash that like button, and if you want to see
