I Tried OVERLY SPONSORED Art Stuff...but NOT Sponsored | PART 1

Today I decided to test overly sponsored art stuff..this is part 1 so if you enjoy it I'll be sure to do more! I keep getting recommended Kiwi Co boxes from different creators and since I've never worked with them or spoken with them before..I figured I would subscribe and buy one for myself and see if it's actually as good as other creators say they are... Kiwi Co boxes are arts and craft boxes filled with different creative products for different ages. I purchased the "Maker Crate" -

"Maker Crate is a monthly craft box dedicated to the discovery of new art and design tools to help turn artistic visions into design realities."

I subscribed to Kiwi Crate for me, an adult, for a while. One thing I liked was the sheer variety of projects. Everything from printing fabric to making soap to making mini lanterns. Even though I COULD buy the supplies for each project every month, I wouldn’t try most things on my own, and you get just the right amount to try out a new thing. If you want to continue it, then you know you like it already. Or if you’re like ehhh not for me, you aren’t stuck with a bunch of supplies you’ll never use

My husband gifted me the makers crates for my birthday. So far I have done the lettering cup and a lamp made from wire, they had everything in the box and were very good quality. I think the Makers crate is good for someone that wants to do crafts but doesn't know what they want to try. I learned I don't like working with wire! 😂🤣😂

The best handlettering tip I ever heard was not to be afraid to lift your marker! It's not cursive! You can lift your marker as often as you like. I think of handlettering in strokes rather than letters.

TO USE STENCILS:
1.) Use micron end to trace the entire stencil
1.5) Remove stencil
2.) Color it in
3.) Enjoy

I have seen sponsorships for this of a million times, this video is the first one that actually made me want to buy it. You did an amazing job. Absolutely love all the flora on the second one.

Oh, this is so much fun. I’m on the edge of my seat

Three years of Japanese in high school plus some occasional studying when I find the time as an adult here - Japanese symbols are very simple. It's (with a couple exceptions) always either a vowel by itself or a consonant + vowel combo and the vowels all have just one pronunciation. A [ah]; I [ee]; U [oo]; E [eh] & O [oh].

So the word is pronounced "oo-kee-yoh"

Stencil syggestion: use fine tip to trace the stencil then fill in afterwards with brush tip. Much cleaner and quicker. Also less likely to move the stencil.

I have two kids, 6& 7, and having been getting the kiwi crate for over a year now. They love them. They look forward to getting them in the mail and it's one of the few things they will just set still for. There is any where from 1-3 projects per box and my kids play with them for days after making them. Plus they come with a book that has a story to go with the project as well as STEM info and other at home activities. Our last one had a simple fruit dip recipe that they could make on their own and they LOVED it. Also for other parents on the fence, both of my kids are high energy, demolition crew set of girls and these kits hold their interest.

Chloe messing things up is the most relatable thing & I love that she doesn't cut that out to remind us that nobody is perfect & we're all just human beings & make mistakes 💜💜
Ps that dog patting the water to see if it's dry is the cutest thing😍

I haven't tried this line of Kiwico, but my son was subscribed to another line from them for a year and we really enjoyed doing them.

They always included everything you need, except for maybe a pair of scissors and the instructions were always extremely clear. Usually they also had an instructional video. The material included was of a good quality.
They usually also included some extra's which is nice if you do something for the first time and might mess it up!

The project in the box was always very reasonable compared to the price, especially taken into account that I don’t live in the US and it included international shipping. It was always fun and kept us occupied for like an hour, after which we could play with the project. It always was something that held up extremely well.

As said, I don’t live in the US and shipping usually took a bit longer, but never too long. Stuff always arrived undamaged.

In short, I highly recommend these boxes.

I think the stencil is an assist for lining up your letters. Love your videos.

Chloe's videos, they are on an another level

[blobcrusher]

Can I just say, your hair is adorable today chloe 😊

I love how those turned out! Also I am here for your transitional phase! Art is all about experimenting and growing so do your thing!

[courtneywhetten]

To be completely honest, you are much better at hand lettering as a beginner than I was when I started. No matter what you think, yours does look pretty good.

Your perfect imperfections and brave showing of them are one of the things I just absolutely adore about your videos. Eg. "I don't know how to do this well, but I'm going to give it a go". Eg. "Look at my new studio. It's lovely and wonderful"... A few months later... "Ok, that studio sucked. Look at my new studio! It's lovely and wonderful". I just freaking love it all!

My great grandson Loves these Kiwi crates since he was 4 years old and I started him from the 5-8 yo category and he just absorbed it all. Every year I go up one level and the beginning of each month he starts looking for his special crate. Best thing ever for children to learn from simple instructions and fabricate things without using a computer… just brains and everyday items. Amazing!

I've gotten the Maker Crate on and off for a couple years now, and they can be real hit or miss, but you always get some new tool or supply that you can reuse, which is nice. And I like combining different boxes into a single larger project when I can't think of what to do with the project as-is. My one complaint though is that they give you a paper inspiration book and make you watch videos for explanations of the tools and project, which can get a bit frustrating. I'd much rather have it the other way around. But the videos are very helpful, the woman narrating them has the most soothing voice ever, and, it does answer all the questions you're likely to have- including for example, answers to the question of how to wash the travel mugs. I know that when you're filming a video, you can't always stop and watch a 10-minute instructional video. But for anyone considering this box, I just want to make it clear that you're not just given a bunch of stuff and expected to figure it out on your own.
