Hi, I'm Lori. This is Maker High
and I'm getting over bronchitis. Sorry.
This is actually a video where I'm putting together a mystery box for my niece.
Hopefully, I'll pop a picture up here.
She's 17.
It's crazy how fast the time flies.
Also in that picture is my nephew,
whom you saw in a couple of years ago in the epic craft
battles of history video. I can't belive
how fast they are growing up. It's making me feel old.
So,
the very first thing I'm sending her, I know you're
shocked and surprised by this...
Is a glue gun, because you can never, ever, ever
have too many glue guns.
and I'm sure she can always use an extra and
hopefully that will help her with some of her mixed media art.
She is a great artist, she has been
drawing ever since she was little.
She also likes to sew, so I'll be sending her
this set of repair needles. I love this curved
needle because
it's really great
for getting under hard to
reach places. I'm also sending her
2 of these sets of sharps.
These are your standard
general use
sewing needles.
I saw these. I thought this was cute.
This is...
for doing needle point, embroidery,
that kinds of thing.
This is also what you
use to make the friendship bracelets.
How many are in here?There's a ton in here.
36. They have the regular
colors and the verinated.
I thought that was a really
cute mix of colors. So, again, I
thought for jewelry making...
I have a ton, so ...
I also have a stamp pad.
At the target clearance,. I think this was
10 cents.
For a stamp pad, it's not super high end,
but again, if you're doing mixed media
you can turn it around and using it to lay down ink
And... if she has other
ink
markers and stuff, she can also mark on this
and do that as well. Hopefully she can use that.
I found also, some washi tape.
for 10 cents each. I hope you can see that.
It's a really pretty white glitter.
There's this....
a really nice...
checkered type pattern.
It's not a super crisp line.
The lines are a little wonky which I
really like. Makes me happy.
These are some body rhinestones.
They are peel and stick.
Ithought this, again, would be good for mixed media.
These were 10 cents because I got them at the 90%
off clearance.
I didn't film that
because I was just starting to get sick.
and i thought nobody's going to want to
hear me cough. And here we are.
Sorry if it seems like I'm speeding through this.
Flat pink washi tape.
This is a light pink with some sparkle in it.
Ireally like this as well.
Let's see. What else have we got down here?
I am a sucker for holo.
This, again, was only 10 cents.
If she doesn't like the designs
because some of these are a little "kddy",
you can always
skin the paper off of the cardboard
and recut it and use it for some other stuff.
I've never really seen that pink holo
It's like pinky purple, and Ireally like it.
And there's like stars and rainbows.
This is normally used for planners.
like dividers...
It's a really nice cardstock.
It's not too stiff.
It's got a nice flex to it.
Again, 10 cents.
I think that she can use these.
Maybe test papers.
Or to make cards. That kind of thing.
The back has black dots, too.
You can never be too orgainzed
so I got these sticky
notes.
these are just little tabs.
I liked them.
Again, 10 cents.
I will be sending her
this cookie cutter.
You can use these in
soft foam to create a design to cut out
You just have to push it down really hard.
You can also use this with clay and not just cookies.
It's really cute.
i stopped at the Daiso store.
I got some of these oversleves.
she does a lot of drawing, colored pencils
I gave her a whole bunch of the stuff for christmas, too
You take these and you put them over the
end of your sleeves and it keeps
your sleeves from getting dirty.
I just thought it was super cute
espically if she's at school.
She can put these on and that
way she's not walking around with paint
on her
sleeves all day.
Sorry, the box is down
here next to me.
I buy these in bulk.
They're great for mixing things.
I put a lot of glue in these
they have their own toppers
and you can make the opening here as big or
as small as you want.
It depends on how far
down you cut the tip.
because the tip is currently sealed.
If you're going to make alcohol ink
these are great for storing that.
I put my barge cement in these. It a really great fine tip
applicator as well.
I think Darice makes these.
I think you can get a set of these
for a couple of dollars.
I usually buy them in 100
because I use them a lot.
This is....a mustache cookie cutter.
again this is from the 75% off at target.
...like the heart that I got before,
again, she can use these for clay
and if she just wants to make cookies she can.
They just crack me up.
I also got this at Daiso.
This is wax paper.
I like to use these sheets if I'm working
someplace that's not my regular space.
These are great just to tack down and
mix paint on
or catch glue gun drips
They're basically about...
that wide.
It's a good, small,
space. And you don't have to cut things out.
It's good for working in small spaces.
Please forgive me for rambling and pausing.
[coughing]
I'm trying to do this in one go.
I found these at the Hobby Lobby clearance.
These are heavy duty acrylic paints.
I have not tried these myself.
I think black and white are always really good colors.
Then red to go along with some of the other stuff.
I hope she has a fun time playing with these.
I kind of wanted some for myself, but I think she'll
get more use out of them.
I already have so many acrylics.
I have a whole set of
the tiny ones.
I got her these four colors. The blue
the yellow
the brown and the green.
I actually have tried these.
They are pretty thick.
I'm sort of surprised
at how good they actually are.
They are easy to thin down.
Had I known
about these at the original $3 price
I probably would have been getting these instead of
some of the other paints.
they are nice, and I'm sad
that they're gone
but at 74 cents
I hope she will enjoy them.
I figure these are good colors.
a nice brown is hard to make
This again, valentine
clearance.
Just tiny pom poms,
I thought it was cute.
Sorry about that, coughing fit.
As I was saying
I got this ribbon
I thought this was cute and goes with the holo.
I got these from
my friend Chrissy.
She was actually getting rid of a bunch of
her art
stuff
and
she gave me
some sculpy
which, I don't know
if you've used sculpy before
but I love it.
I think it's very versatile.
It doesn't dry or harden
until you bake it in the oven.
I kept some of these colors
any thing that was a duplicate.
I think it's an interesting assortment.
I don't know if she actually
does a lot of sculpting
or not but
hopefully
that will
add to her supply.
I have red clay
in my
storage area
that is like 20 lbs.
It is a pain in the butt
to move from one room
to another
so I tent not to use it very often.
I do use Sculpy a lot more
than standard modeling clay.
So hopefully she enjoys these.
There are great tutorials online.
Last
but not least
I got her a Craypen.
I got one for myself as well.
This was also Hobby Lobby Clearance.
It comes with 2 different tips
a fine tip and a larger tip.
You can use these not only
with the wax pucks but
also with crayons.
I thought this
would be good
since she's in
high school and
doesn't have a ton of
money to spend on
art supplies.
Crayons you can find anywhere
even the grocery store.
They're cheap.
Easy to find.
I'll probably be doing a video on this.
I think it's something she probably hasn't done too much with.
Was is fun, but you have to be careful
I think she'll be responsible.
I also got her the wax pucks.
I these look crusty, but
it's the weather
here in vegas.
They get a weird film
on them
but they're fine.
On the inside.
You just take the pen and dip it into
the wax and keep it parallel to
your paper until
you tip
it down and you smooth it around
It's definitely not a precise
fine tip pen kind of artwork
but there are tutorials online
and pictures where you can see the results
There's some neat stuff out there.
And finally I got her
some of the cleaning wax. You dip it and tilt it
and let the wax run out.
It changes out your colors.
Unless you want to blend your colors.
I'm going to sign off
I've had a
coughing fit and hopefully I will
be better by
next week and have
an actual video.
I know
my diy videos
I've been trying some new stuff
Let me know what you think
Do you like the new stuff?
Do you want me to go back to just DIY?
I'll be doing more mystery box stuff
I'm almost at 5000 subs.
I have plans for that.
