Ahahahaha! I really was not trying for cursed though. My original idea was to create a fun and cute face, then use the silicone to make a plushy/fur like texture. The color choice does make it look a bit... fleshy though! The googly eyes were my idea but Katelyn wanted me to add the details aroun...

Check out this aftershow for:
- Other designs/approaches we considered
- What we would have done differently if we were to do it again (glitter, decal)
- Will we use this or put it on a display shelf?

- Secret technique for the moo...

Hey guys! I know our last phone case was beans, but we also wanted to try a not-cursed phone case. In fact we wanted to go way in the other direction and make a decoden phone case! You may have seen the style at some point, they’re super cute and 3D and puffy, and are often made with a base of ...

Wooooo we’re done with the resin tumbler! Honestly this was SO much fun, it was so chill to film, and I can’t believe it took us this long to try this technique. I think it was just the “break” we needed after the very difficult wood keyboard haha.

We decided since we’ve done mood ring resin stuff before, what if we try something a little different? What if we HIDE a black vinyl image that “disappears” when the cup is black (the mood ring liquid crystals turn black when it’s cold) and reveals itself as your hands warm it up? Let’s...

…A tumbler! We’ve never made a resin tumbler before but the one I received as a gift is my favorite cup ever, and it’s about time Evan got a cool resin tumbler too.
And we’re not just gonn...

Hey guys! After all the work of the wood keyboard video, we thought it’d be fun to do a nice chill second channel video that we’ve wanted to try for a long time: the classic “my husband/boyfriend/partner does my makeup” Evan is pretty good at painting and art but he’s never used makeup ...

In this Aftershow we cover:
- Showing off tests/results that didn’t make it to the video
- The rabbit hole Evan went down
- A special shoutout to one of our patrons
- Why there’s no resin *gasp*
- One of our most difficult videos to start filming
- Using our new CNC for t...
The keys are all made! Now we still have the protective paper on them in this picture (which is why you can’t see the pink and purple wood from our original mock up) but the important thing is they all fit and we got them all on straight (straight enough at least!)
(The keys with blue tap...

So for some context, here's the anatomy of a keycap: there’s the visible top and sides of the key, and then on the underside there’s a stem.
We figured the top could be made out of a flat lase...

Hey guys, we have a BIG project we’re working on - a fully wooden mechanical keyboard! Well minus the electronic bits haha.
This is a big undertaking - we have to make the keys themselves as well as the keyboard case, out of wood. You can see in the photoshop mockup above that we want to ...

Hey guys! The closet reorg is DONE and the video will be live on the second channel Friday! But we wanted to share some before and afters with you guys here first. It may not look like a ton, but it’s way better! -Katelyn

Remember back in *gasp* FEBRUARY we shared a mini vlog (#47) that we were starting to work on a reorganization of our closet for a second channel video? Well after months of procrastinating we are back on it and I honestly feel silly putting it off for so long haha. Also yes - our closet is large...

Life hacks are ridiculous but I gotta say they are so fun to film! In this week’s Aftershow we cover:
Hey y’all! As we mentioned at the end of the last post, our next main channel video will be testing more resin life hacks - this time ones that Evan chose/surprised me with! And I wanted to share the hacks we tested with y’all so you can start making mental predictions about which ones worked...

So first off, wow, we had a lot of unexpected results in the ultimate rice krispies face off! Our theories basically came down to:
- If we like cereal "a" more than cereal "b" we'll like rice krispie treat "a" more than "b"
- The less sweet the cereal, the better it will be since mars...

We’re gonna take the top 14 most popular cereals and turn them into rice krispies treats to see which is the best! (Well technically top 13, plus actual rice krispies as a control)
Any guesses o...

Spoiler to the chair question: I did get one after this was filmed :)

Hey guys! Thought we’d share some more about our streaming room makeover, specifically an odd choice we made.
First off, I’ll talk about our wall “reflector.” So for lights hitting our faces we prefer indirect light, so we usually bounce the light off a white wall. Well, the walls i...

Hey guys! If you tune into our streams, you may have noticed we've vaguely mentioned that the streaming room is different, and occasionally sharp-eyed members of chat realize the whole room was flipped (based on what side we walk toward to leave the room).

We still haven't gotten the water damage fixed... but at least we have a nice cat feeding station :) In this Aftershow we cover:
Woooo! We are so happy with how it turned out. Honestly, the pink legs are so fun without being too crazy of a color. We also decided to add an undermount cabinet light at the last minute to add a little something special. Plus it hides the wire for the fountain! We have it routed behind one of t...

Hey guys! So we’ve been going down a rabbit hole of fun/unique kits to try (some crafts, some food, some “other” haha). One that intrigued both of us is a DIY gum kit. Like… could we get the texture right? What ingredients come in the kit? Can we make custom flavors?
