Cute Life Hacks♥ SUBSCRIBE to my 2nd DIY channel MAQAROON! ♥ youtube.com/maqaroon ♥ ♥ NEW!! Putty Highlighter Inspired DIY Slime ♥ youtu.be/zWiz5CNl-2M There are so many different ways to make DIY fidget spinners, so here is my version of it!! I've seen DIY fidget spinners made from skateboard bearings, paper, bottle caps, coins, magnets, toothpicks etc. There are basically two distinct parts to a DIY fidget spinner toy: 1) How to add weight to the spinners 2) How make the spinning mechanism. I wanted to come up with a solution to both that doesn't require finding objects of specific sizes/diameters or buying skate bearings.
My initial idea for weighing down the fidget spinners was to use something malleable like clay, plasticine or sand. Sand/play-doh would require making a lid which seems unnecessary complicated and air-dry clay doesn't feel like an "everyday item" for most people. Then I had the idea of using rice with glue, which was a much more elegant solution since the mixture simply hardens into the lid like plastic.
The central spinner part of the DIY fidget spinner took much longer to create :P! My original idea was to use a round sponge as the "bearing" and run the paper tube through it similar to the "toothpick method" that you see in other DIY fidget spinner videos. I glued the two pins to the lid and thought the tube will spin around the metal pins. This was a total fail btw. After a lot more fiddling, I removed the sponge and discovered that the pins and tube spin surprisingly well if they are not attached to the plastic part of the lid in any way. Thus a new fidget spinner was born ;D.
This was my first time painting emoji faces and it was really fun! Bear in mind that many emojis are harder to draw/paint than they look because there are often lots of tiny details in the eye or mouth area. So be sure to pick ones that have big areas of colour, like the heart, normal smiley face or sunglasses emoji.

I used this in my color changing video but those turned out opaque due to the pigment. For this one I simply added glitter into clear gel. Please note that these squishy resins are NOT compatible with water-based pigments such as ink, acrylic paint or food coloring. Powder pigment, glitter, gold leaf or oil based squishy inks will work fine. I find that Sophie and Toffee's squishy gel more forgiving then Hitohada Gel. I've never had a squishy fail to cure even after adding quite a lot of pigment inside. #squishy #clay #diy

Many viewers suggested using a sponge over the tap which worked really well! This is a great way to make bubbles without messing up the sink. It needs a bit of experimenting with water temperature & speed but I found that it worked well about 70% of the time. The original viral video came from Kwai which is a popular video editing/sharing app from China. The clips were reposted onto Instagram and many people (including myself) were convinced they were fake. However these water bubbles really do work, but only with the UHU Original brand of glue. This is a resin-based adhesive that solidifies upon contact with water or friction. This makes it uniquely suited for expanding and holding water...though whoever came up with this idea for the very first time really deserves a medal :P! #viral #squishy #instagram

You simply need to hollow out both squishies and make sure that the opening is roughly the same size. The process of removing foam significantly reduces the total volume of a squishy so a seemingly large shape can actually fit inside another one. We tried this with two fairly different squishies, and they just about worked. Though for best results, use two squishies that are closer in shape and ideally wider at the base. This makes it less likely to rip when you turn them inside out. #squishy #makeover #squishies

This is a fun alternative to using paint or glue to cover up a squishy and doesn't require waiting for things to dry. The surface of a squishy plush is less susceptible to dirt and fingerprints, especially if you use darker fabrics like hot pink, grey, black or brown. If it does get dirty, then you can clean the fabric gently with soap and water, but take care not to get the squishy part soaking wet.

Satisfying Slime ExperimentsCute Life Hacks2018-06-22 | Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos ♥ Draw My Life Video ♥ youtu.be/avEdyFXyvlE This video shows you 10 fun variations of the bottle slime method. Some of these DIY slimes are quite experimental and turned out to be total fails but others turned out amazing! I used face masks for most of these (no glue slime) but of course you can substitute PVA glue for any recipe. I personally prefer face masks because they're much easier to squeeze out :P! Almost every brand of glue that works for slime has really rigid packaging and you end up with bruised and painful fingers.
BOTTLE SLIME RECIPE 1) Measure out the distance of your index and middle fingers from the base of the bottle. 2) Measure out the distance of your pinkie finger. 3) Add peel-off face mask or PVA glue 4) If using face masks, you can dilute it with some water 5) Add contact lens solution until the second line 6) Add 1/2 small teaspoon of baking soda 7) SHAKE!!!
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS 1) If the mixture turns foamy then you added too much baking soda. This tends to happen with face masks since the mixture also contains soap. 2) If the mixture remains liquid then add a tiny bit (1tsp) of contact lens solution and shake again. Repeat if needed. 3) If the mixture still stays liquid, then add a pinch of baking soda. 4) Make sure you use glue that contains PVA (e.g. Elmers, Tesa, Pelikan, Fevicol) 5) Make sure you use peel-off face masks (other types do not work) 6) Don't dilute the PVA too much otherwise it may not activate.

Enthält Werbung / Contains advertisement This video is sponsored by www.banggood.com
This DIY was inspired by the prettiest Korean slime I saw on Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/_slimii_)! Most of the work actually involves clay, and I definitely recommend a light paper clay which won't sink into the slime. I used the one from Banggood.com and I was very impressed by the quality vs cost. It comes in a much larger container than most clays AND you don't have to use it up as quickly. The only downside is that it tends to dry quickly with a smooth "foamy" texture, so it becomes harder to sculpt details after a while. This makes it ideal for projects that only require simple shapes like hearts, stars, balls etc. In this case, I decided to make so many colours that the clay inevitably started to dry up, however it should work perfectly if you stick with 2-3 colours like the original Instagram slime.

Luxury vs One Dollar NO GLUE Slime Experiments!Cute Life Hacks2018-03-29 | Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos ♥ GIVEAWAY IS OVER ♥ Thanks for entering I've wanted to try making slime using the GlamGlow Glitter Mask ever since I first heard about it!! At $69 for 50ml this is a pricey product. The only comparable "luxury" peel-off glitter mask is Too Faced Glow Job mask which sells for $42. So GlamGlow is basically the most expensive PVA-containing raw ingredient that you can possibly find for slime. Just to compare, a 50ml tube of glue probably costs $3, 50ml of cheap face masks cost $6 and you can get an entire bag of pure PVA powder for $10 :P!!
I was fairly certain this slime would turn out well since peel-off masks always work and the mixture is already holo and sparkly. But to make it more interesting. I decided to try replicating the texture using cheap masks. I was genuinely shocked at how similar both of these turned out to be. I expected the DIY version to be slightly more opaque and less sparkly but both seem to be identical. So this means you can grab any cheap black face mask from the drugstore and create the exact same slime as the GlamGlow one!
BLACK HOLO SLIME RECIPE 1) Place 1.6oz or 50ml of black peel-off face mask in a bowl. 2) Add 3-4 teaspoons of water. Mix well. 3) Add 3 small pinches of baking soda. Mix well. 4) Add a small amount of contact lens solution. Stir until mixture thickens. 5) If needed, add more baking soda or contact lens solution until slime is no longer sticky to touch. 6) Be careful not to overactivate! This can happen fairly quickly with face mask slimes. 7) It's normal for slime to turn rubbery when you play with it. You can deactivate it using a tiny bit of glycerine or lemon juice, check out my slime deactivator video below!

EDIT: Some people wondered whether titanium white would be safe on skin. Sadly the answer is no because the paint itself contains chemicals like binders, solvents, oils etc.
Titanium Dioxide = A pure white powder created from naturally occurring minerals. This is not toxic and the powder is often added to beauty products. Even LUSH uses titanium dioxide in their powder sunscreen and many other products.
Titanium White = This is paint that contains titanium dioxide powder. It's not safe for skin since the paint is made up of many other chemicals as well!

Cornstarch*: http://amzn.to/2DjJxPP Chocolate Deco Sauce: goo.gl/uwuRmj *I noticed that "cornstarch" and "cornflour" are used interchangeably in some places, however there's a different kind of yellow cornflour made from tiny pieces of corn (that's not the right one). Regular flour doesn't work for this DIY either because the particles are too big and it contains gluten which will turn the mixture sticky.

I obviously decided to stay away from real pods and instead tried to replicate it using different types of slimes. The base pod was a very thick butter slime that basically has a clay-like consistency so it can hold the clear slime in place. I decided against using pure Daiso clay for the base since that dries fairly quickly and the slime won't be "squishable" at all.
Contrary to many news reports, NO-ONE has died as a result of the Tide Pod Challenge. The number of deaths reported by the media are dated back to 2012 over a span of 6 years, and none were related to the meme that started in 2018. However NEEDLESS TO SAY, it's an extremely bad idea to eat detergent pods so don't do it guys. Enjoy the meme, don't be stupid, and make sure u know da wae.

Most creative ones will be used with credit in a future video ^_^ ♥ Become a #Cutienator ♥ Subscribe to MAQAROON & CUTE LIFE HACKS: youtube.com/maqaroon So I never expected my gold YouTube play button unboxing video to end up like this! The first gold button was fairly uneventful, however due to Maqaroon reaching 1M around the same time, and an apparent production mix-up, I ended up getting 3 golden play buttons at once.
Can't complain obviously :P!!! I was always planning to use one of these buttons for a DIY, but with a surplus I can do even more stuff with them! So please leave your most creative craft ideas below. These can be things to do with the play button itself or things made using a mold of the button. Destroying the button obviously doesn't count as a DIY, so I won't be going in that direction.
The best explanation I can think of for the second Cute Life Hacks button is an accidental duplication of the order in the factory. This can happen for a variety of reasons such as someone forgetting to mark an order as dispatched or someone accidentally printing out two packing slips. I originally thought that the Maqaroon button might have been printed as Cute Life Hacks by mistake since they share the same shipping address, however YouTube's reward system is very good at preventing stuff like this. So in the end, I think it was a purely coincidental error that could have happened to anyone...and didn't have anything to do with the fact it was 2 channels.

This was quite similar to my Popin Cookin Onigiri tutorial (youtu.be/9XQ-2itEChM) which was one of the first videos I ever made for YouTube :D. The bubble gum flavoured "rice" that you get in Popin Cookin kits can be sculpted fairly easily and has a bouncy texture similar to squishies.
I haven't made many Popin Cookin DIYs since the trend was mostly over by the time I started YouTube. However that doesn't diminish the fact that these kits are SO MUCH FUN. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching powders turn into candy and being able to make tiny miniature edible things. If you've never tried these before, then I hugely recommend getting a bundle of kits, instead of just one. They're all fairly easy to understand even without instructions :).

The viral drink has actually exposed by Simplynailogical to contain plastic, non-digestible craft glitter (video here: youtu.be/J3n_RspaavA). There is no such thing as edible holo glitter since the rainbow effect is impossible to recreate on sugar or other food-based ingredients. So I thought the best way to enjoy the aesthetics of a diamond cappuccino is to make a fake one entirely! This works best with air-dry paper clay since the surface dissolves with water and you can create a very realistic milk-foam texture.
I made a miniature version using dollhouse teacups, but you can just as easily make a life size one using a normal coffee cup! You'll need more clay, but larger pieces are easier to sculpt. The finished piece would look great as a paperweight or room decor. Since the clay is packed firmly inside the cup, it may actually take weeks to dry completely. So be sure not to squash or press it too hard.

Since each person's slime activator is different, you may need to play around a bit in order to find a recipe that works with the exact ingredients you use.
The ideal top of a souffle slime should be dry, crunchy and shaped like a smooth dome. I realised that this is created in a very similar way to real souffles! Fluffy slime contains a lot of air bubbles and some of these automatically rise to the top while the slime is settling. By creating a small iceberg slime, the topmost layer dries out so the bubbles can't escape. They push upwards against the dried slime and this helps enhance the round shape. However if you leave the slime for too long, the bubbles in the remaining slime start to dissolve, creating larger pockets of air. This enables trapped air to move back down again, thus causing the souffle top to "sink".
If your slime contains enough glue then it should hopefully dry completely into a dome shape. However too much glue will also cause it to flatten into a muffin shape, similar to the two pink slimes I made. These may not look as cute but are equally satisfying to poke!

1) The final mixture needs to have a ratio of 3:1, which means 75% Milky Base Resin and 15% Clear Hardener. This should be measured as precisely as possible using baking scales.
2) The mould can be made using 2-part putty or Oyumaru. Of course, you can use any existing silicone moulds as well, such as those for DIY resin casting, DIY clay crafts, cake pops or ice cubes.
3) If adding colour, use a TINY amount of powder pigment and mix this into the base resin. The instructions do warn you that using too much pigment can affect the curing process, which was most likely what happened in my case :(
4) KEEP AWAY FROM WATER. Even a single drop of food colouring is enough to ruin the squishy mixture, so do not use any liquid inks or paint before it's fully cured.
5) Wash your hands repeatedly when handling a freshly-cured squishy. These attract dust & dirt really easily and are very difficult to clean. Unlike pure silicone squishies, washing Hitohada squishies tends to make them stickier.
I have to say I was a bit surprised by how tricky this kit was. I know that Hitohada actually create products for industrial use (e.g. forensics & manufacturing) so it's likely that they simply rebranded some materials for the crafting / DIY market. Most craft products, especially those aimed at children have a high margin of error. Meaning that even if you eyeball the measurements or accidentally add something else, it doesn't make a difference to the outcome.
However in this case, getting a measurement wrong by a few grams can make the difference between having a perfect squishy and a completely failed one. This is even more noticeable in my clear squishy DIY. So as mentioned, it's best to treat this project as a very special "luxury" crafting experience. If you just want squishies then it's cheaper to buy them. But if you want to try a totally new and unique type of DIY, then give this a try. Polymer clay crafters have a lot of existing pieces lying around, so now it's easy to turn your favourites into squishies!

I thought it looked hilarious and had to track one down to test out! It works by heating collagen peptide with your choice of nutrient liquid, which can be juice, milk, soda, tea or many other things. Collagen works like gelatine and will cause the mixture to solidify into a jelly-like mask very quickly. This was really fascinating to watch and even more fun to try on.
These masks contain 100% natural ingredients and are technically even edible. (However they're NOT vegan due to collagen). It's a fun gadget to have at home since you can create a mask anytime using things from your kitchen. It's extremely moisturising and genuinely good for your skin. The machine is slightly pricey but it costs about the same as 25 drugstore face masks, and you can make an infinite number with these. Collagen pill refills can be found online, in health food stores or pharmacies.

I actually think this would be a great thing to have in a spa or beauty salon. People can easily customise their own face mask using fresh ingredients and then watch it getting made before their eyes :). It actually requires very little nutrient solution (20ml) so you can easily "save" some from a juice or coffee to turn into a face mask.

I've only seen slime smoothie videos on YT, but not actually making DIY slime from scratch using a blender. To make it more interesting, we decided to test all the popular slime recipes using different ingredients. Each slime produced surprising results! The best one was definitely DIY face-mask/no-glue slime which dilutes very well in water and turns into wonderfully fluffy, jelly-like texture. If you want to make DIY blender at home, then this is the recipe I recommend.
Butter slime and glue slime both ended up slight fails as the slime became too thick and nearly clogged up the blender. It's best not to try these yourself since you might just end up damaging the blender and the final result isn't amazing. Mixing DIY slime decorations like glitter or foam balls also worked surprisingly well with a blender so you can give that a try. And lastly, PVA powder slime worked but there was no different to mixing it by hand so it might be too much of a hassle.

Painting really captures the essence of something, in this case the familiar aesthetic of different slime textures. This is a fun shirt for everyone who loves making or selling DIY slimes. The artwork is deliberately designed to be subtle so you can wear it everywhere without people questioning you what it is. However it's still recognisable enough that any other slime fans will instantly pick up on it.
PLEASE NOTE: Crowdmade ladies shirts are cut fairly small. Size S is closer to XS from other brands. I'm wearing S in the video. I personally like the petite sizing since that's always a problem if you're asian :)! The bottom part of the t-shirts are also comfortably long, very useful for tucking into jeans or dresses.

SUBSCRIBE TO CUTE LIFE HACKS :D ♥ SUBSCRIBE to my 2nd DIY channel MAQAROON! ♥ youtube.com/maqaroon ♥ DIY GIANT CLEAR SLIME Using PVA Powder (No glue, no borax clear slime recipe used in this video) ♥ youtu.be/V2PAUI4ok_I This was one of the suggestions under my DIY clear slime video and I would never have guessed that adding raw egg to slime actually works!! Remarkably, it creates a new texture that's glossy and fluffy at the same time. Playing with this slime mimics the process of beating eggs so it actually increases the volume and becomes fluffier. I find that the egg holds air bubbles even better than shaving foam. Regular fluffy slime tends to "deflate" after a while but this one actually stays soft & stretchy for much longer...possibly because you're constantly adding more air bubbles to the mixture as you play with it.
The slime itself didn't smell at all, though I used clear slime made with PVA powder which is also fragrance-free. If you use clear slime made with glue or face masks then it will most likely smell like that. However the slime does leave residue on the table, bowl etc and you can notice an eggy smell the next day. So make sure to clean all surfaces very well, and wash you hands well.
DID YOU KNOW? Salmonella is actually extremely rare/non-existent (0.01%) in supermarket eggs sold in developed countries. 99.9% of raw eggs DO NOT contain salmonella. Even if the egg is contaminated, you can only get ill by ingesting a large amount of it, which is basically impossible in this case. However since eggs are so perishable, you should definitely take extra care with hygiene to prevent cross-contaminating other things such as food or furniture.
♥ Safety Guidelines for DIY Egg Slime ♥ 1) Wash hands thoroughly before and after playing with this 2) Clean all utensils with warm water and soap, or place use dishwasher 3) Throw slime away immediately after use 4) Avoid rubbing the slime on surfaces that cannot be cleaned easily such as furniture or inside a car 5) Best to play with it on a plate or chopping board 6) Do not sell or send this slime by mail 7) Also works with slightly expired eggs (a few days after the expiry date)

You can improve your chances of getting picked by suggesting absolutely wild ideas that nobody else has come up with yet ;)
Under my DIY Slime Powder videos, many people suggested dissolving PVA into water and using that to make clear slime. Another YouTuber tried it first and it worked but the dissolving process took a long time. After doing some research, it turns out the best way to dissolve PVA is to place it in cold water, and slowly heat it up to near-boiling point whilst stirring all the time. That sounded like a bit too much hassle so I tried just doing it with cold water and it worked. Though you have to mix with your hands since you need to rub any lumps of PVA until they dissolve. And definitely wear gloves because it can take up to 30mins and PVA is quite drying to skin.
PLEASE NOTE: The slime looks cloudy in the clips where I'm pulling it out of the box because I spent too long taking thumbnail photos and got a huge bunch of bubbles into the top layer ^_^". The pristine slime was completely transparent (same as thumbnail picture), although the texture looked a tiny bit "grainier" than glue slime.
♥ DIY Slime Shopping Links ♥ Please make sure you get PVA powder not PVA crystals. Crystals are larger and harder to dissolve. If you do get some by accident, you can pulverise them using a mixer or blender. Wash any utensils thoroughly with warm water and soap. And be sure to keep an eye on the quantities. The bag I used in my video was 1kg / 1000g and should cost around $20-30 when sold in bulk. Some sellers only offer 100g which is usually slightly more pricey but still effective for making slime.

It's a lot harder making DIY jumbo slimes in Europe since they simply don't sell large enough containers of glue or baking soda! The largest bottle of white glue I found was 1L (don't get me started on clear glue :P). Borax is much cheaper to use as activator when making big slimes but that's not available here at all. So after a bunch of experimenting, we came up with this giant slime DIY using the contact lens method.
Another problem with giant slime tutorials is that there are rarely exact recipes online, since most videos are for entertainment and people simply make their jumbo slimes by eye. The recipe in this video is enough for 2L of slime and a fairly good starting point for large slimes! You can scale the quantities up or make them in different colours like we did. It's also not overly expensive to make, about $30 per slime using the exact ingredients we used. If you can find bigger containers of glue or baking soda then it will get even cheaper.

This is a fairly specialist ingredient but used in several industries (paint, soap, flower crafts, medical supplies) so it's not too difficult to find online. Amazon wasn't actually that useful, so it's best to search over Etsy, Ebay, Alibaba or standalone webshops.
DIY slime made from powder is really fascinating because it's noticeably drier than glue slime (doesn't have that sloppy texture which tends to stick to your skin). DIY powder slime feels more like a clay or play-doh but stretches incredibly well. Most importantly, it changes almost all the "rules" of making slime such as having to use glue, face masks, shaving foam, lotion, borax, contact lens solution etc.
In the follow up video I experimented with many different ingredients and made 10 DIY slimes in a completely dry form. For instance, you can pre-measure out glitter or pigments and add that directly to your slime powder. This saves you quite some time compared to a normal slime making process. I also loved the fact that this slime doesn't turn your bowl or spoon sticky. It's extremely easy to clean and sticks to itself, so you can simply use the slime to "pull" any leftover bits from your mixing utensils.

Though instead of just using juice/kool-aid/soda I thought it's be a crazy idea to try Nutella instead. And it actually worked!! The thing to remember is that soap reacts with fat so this bubble solution works best immediately after you make it. If you leave it overnight or for a few days then it will make fewer bubbles.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that "edible bubbles" are simply made from non-toxic ingredients which means they are extremely unlikely to cause harm when ingested in SMALL amounts. A single bubble contains an extremely tiny amount of soap, comparable to residue that may be left over when you wash the dishes. However please do not swallow large amounts of the bubble solution or leave it unattended around small children or pets! Also, it tastes gross so I can't actually imagine anyone wanting to do that :P. And obviously, do not use around people with nut allergies!

This won't affect my upload schedule since Lisa will be doing most of the work in German. We're basically coordinating DIYs so whatever I make for CLH, she will make it simultaneously for the German channel. Occasionally, we may end up doing voiceovers on videos that were filmed by the other person to maximise the amount of content we can bring out.
This has been a project I've been dying to make for so long! Under every video I see comments by German-speaking viewers who patiently ask for German videos or undertitles. However up until recently, I simply didn't have the resources to create additional German content. So I was delighted when I met Lisa and realised she was totally up for running the German channel. She's incredibly talented and it's an honour to have her bringing CLH to fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland!
Another driving factor behind Cute Life Hacks DE is also to bring you viral trends & DIYs sooner than any other german channel. We both noticed that almost all trends tend to start on YouTube USA, and only reach Germany/Austria several weeks or months later. Luckily, Cute Life Hacks is already so popular in the USA that we can literally bring out viral content in German within 24-48 hours!

EDIT: Lots of viewers have mentioned that you CAN buy these in Walmart...my bad ^_^"!! There's no Walmart in Europe and I've never seen these online before.
DIY PHONE CASES Search "your phone model + clear case" on Aliexpress, Amazon or Etsy. Look for sellers who offer bulk listings, which are much cheaper and great for crafting. Aliexpress is always the cheapest, however shipping can take a few weeks. iPhone 7 Case ($3.99): http://amzn.to/2p2o0I3 iPhone 6 Case ($3.99): http://amzn.to/2p2o2j9
