00:04

- Hello friends,

00:06

and welcome to another video.

00:08

Today, I'm going to be trying out

00:10

some delectable looking candle art hacks.

00:13

As if I needed another excuse to eat wax.

00:16

- [Tyler] Don't eat it. Don't.

00:18

I promised my mom!

00:19

- It tastes pretty good.

00:20

Now in the past,

00:21

we've tried recreating our fair share

00:24

of clickbaity hack videos,

00:26

some beauty hacks,

00:27

some fashion hacks,

00:29

some photo slash video hacks,

00:31

and some soap art hacks

00:33

that may or may not have been dangerous.

00:35

- Cinnamon? No!

00:37

No, no.

00:39

- [Safiya] With an overall

00:40

pretty hit or miss track record.

00:42

They look like slabs of bacon.

00:44

They look like meat.

00:45

And I would say that usually,

00:47

my reaction to these kinds of hacks

00:49

is negative at worst and incredulous at best.

00:53

Having tried so many

00:55

and having had so many of them fail.

00:58

I put too much on.

00:59

I need help.

01:00

I've become a bit jaded,

01:02

but when I set eyes on these candle art hacks,

01:05

I fell in lust.

01:06

These things just look straight up awesome,

01:09

and I must have them.

01:11

So this hack recreation video

01:13

is driven by pure, unadulterated desire.

01:17

Now the main video that sparked my fire here

01:20

is this one from Blossom called,

01:22

"Get Lit with Drink Inspired Candles,"

01:25

where they detail how you might catfish your friends

01:28

with candles that look like summer drinks,

01:31

milkshakes, lattes, you name it.

01:34

You can't drink it.

01:36

So as a person who enjoys candles

01:38

to arguably an unhealthy degree,

01:40

and who also likes to investigate the legitimacy

01:43

of these types of videos,

01:45

I decided to pick out a few key

01:47

clickbait candle art hacks from this video

01:50

and others to try to recreate today,

01:53

and we'll see if we have

01:54

a three wick candle's chance in hell

01:57

of pulling this off,

01:58

because I've been burned before.

02:00

- [Tyler] Oh my God.

02:01

It's like the end of a "Saw" movie.

02:03

- [Safiya] By Blossom and also by candles.

02:06

All right.

02:07

So we are gonna dive right in

02:09

with the margarita candle hack.

02:12

Now I figured that we had to do the margarita,

02:15

because it's kind of like

02:16

the marquis Blossom candle art hack,

02:19

and I think amongst all of the candles

02:21

that look like drinks,

02:23

this one is the most impressively realistic.

02:26

And basically the way this hack works

02:28

is that you melt down some gel wax

02:30

and then cut it up to make ice cubes,

02:33

then salt the rim of your margarita glass

02:35

with shaved tealight,

02:37

then meltdown, color,

02:39

and scent some more gel wax

02:41

for the marg itself,

02:42

and then assemble your parts

02:44

to arrive in Margaritaville.

02:47

Now I think our first step here

02:49

is to melt some jelly wax

02:51

to make into fake ice cubes.

02:53

Using this silicone mold.

02:56

Now... (laughs)

02:58

One thing that is a dynamic here

03:00

is that for some reason,

03:02

jelly wax seemed to be like, very sold out

03:05

at all of the craft stores near us.

03:07

So we had to go for a bulk amount of jelly,

03:11

like for professional candlemakers.

03:13

- [Tyler] Less crafty, more wholesale.

03:16

- Exactly. - [Tyler] Industrial supply.

03:18

- Exactly.

03:19

(jelly wax thumps) (Tyler laughs)

03:20

It feels like I got this from like,

03:22

an old-school like, butcher.

03:24

So like, this is a shank.

03:26

(slaps jelly wax) - [Tyler] Wow.

03:27

You're slapping it?

03:28

- This is a flank. (slaps)

03:30

- [Tyler] Slapping the bag?

03:30

- Look at that.

03:31

This is a steak.

03:33

And we needed to extract 12 ounces

03:35

of gel wax for our ice cube-making purposes.

03:39

It looks sharp, but it feels soft.

03:41

So I'm just gonna saw some off

03:44

and measure it out.

03:44

Does that seem about right?

03:46

Oh my word.

03:47

What a bizarre substance.

03:48

- [Tyler] It does look like you're carving a rock.

03:51

- [Safiya] Now, we did kind of make up

03:52

the 12 ounce measurement here.

03:54

Ohhhh.

03:57

Ooh, that was kind of fun.

03:58

- [Tyler] Yeah!

03:59

(Safiya laughs evilly)

04:00

- I'm getting the hang of it now, ha ha!

04:03

As usual,

04:04

even for the more complicated,

04:06

like crafty hacks,

04:07

these guys really give us

04:09

no specific instructions at all.

04:11

So like in the past,

04:13

we had to do a lot of freeze framing

04:15

and guesstimating here.

04:17

All right, so now that our gel wax is measured out.

04:20

Yep. This is all I needed to do.

04:22

- [Tyler] That's the video.

04:23

- That's the video.

04:24

Thanks for watching everyone.

04:25

I am going to put this guy

04:28

on the hot plate and melt it.

04:30

Ooh, it looks cool.

04:32

It's kind of like a large iceberg.

04:34

- Oh, oh. - Oh my God.

04:35

- [Tyler] Yeah, maybe you gotta push it back down.

04:38

Okay. - That kind of worked.

04:39

- [Tyler] That worked pretty well.

04:40

- [Safiya] And once our gel wax was fully melted.

04:43

That's pretty good!

04:44

We poured it into our ice cube mold

04:46

and let it cool.

04:48

Now in the hack video,

04:50

these hardened instantaneously,

04:52

and then they just chop them into smaller ice cubes,

04:55

but obviously we have to let them actually cool.

04:58

So I'm going to push them to the side,

05:01

and then we're going to focus

05:02

on the abdomen of the margarita,

05:05

the thorax of the margarita.

05:07

- [Tyler] What are you, the Leonardo DiCaprio meme?

05:09

Oh my God.

05:10

- Yeah, with me and my bizarro jelly candle.

05:14

All right.

05:14

Back to the slab.

05:16

(jelly wax thumps)

05:17

- [Tyler] Oh my God.

05:17

- [Safiya] And we had to measure out another 10 ounces

05:20

of gel wax for the marg itself.

05:23

Yum.

05:23

And on goes the hot plate.

05:25

Now, while this is melting,

05:27

I am going to work ahead a little bit,

05:29

just because I feel like once we get

05:31

into the final stages of this hack,

05:34

we're going to have to move fast,

05:35

because I don't want like,

05:36

the jelly wax to harden at any point.

05:39

So I jumped into grating my tea light

05:42

to make the margarita salt.

05:43

Oh, this is happening fast.

05:45

This could be the end of this grater.

05:47

It's just like covered in wax now.

05:49

Okay, I just discovered a superpower.

05:51

I can actually just crumble the tea lights

05:53

with my hand.

05:54

- [Tyler] Oh wow, Saf Bae.

05:55

- [Safiya] Wooah!

05:57

- [Tyler] That's actually Saf Bae.

05:58

- What a specific and useless superpower.

06:01

So with the tea lights shredded,

06:03

it looks more like parmesan.

06:04

- [Tyler] It looks again nice parm.

06:06

- [Safiya] And our main margarita mix melted.
