As people who have
made a few candles, (soft bright music) who also own a giant bag of wax, (Evan slaps bag) I thought that it
would be fun today to try out a few candle hacks. (audience applauding) Katelyn's chosen them all. I don't know what
we're about to see, but I do know that
I'll probably get upset at some point in
(chuckles) this video. You definitely will. Cuz candle hacks…
(low rumble resonating) I don't even know
what's coming my way. Let me show you the first one. (bright music) Toilet paper. Candle. Toilet paper candle. Toilet paper candle.
Is this the wick? Are they gonna use the, it's to thicken the wick! (Katelyn chuckles) Oh. Oh, it's a rose. How romantic. A toilet paper rose. (fart reverberating) I mean.
Okay. Wait, wait, But does it look good actually? Okay, here are my thoughts. One, it kind of doesn't look that
bad if it will hold the shape.
But two, are you just gonna
like burn the toilet paper? You're usually–
Yeah. Not burning toilet
paper in your house. (fire crackling) Now, will the wax
help it burn cleaner? Kind of like the
wick just disappears! Candle wicks are
meant to like burn into the air that
we're breathing. I don't know about toilet paper. Do you just want some nice
romantic toilet paper fumes to go with your
rose shaped candles? Well, I'm also confused because it isn't
like we're rolling and then all of a
sudden there's a rose. Just like where's the rest of
that hackin' rose tutorial. Yeah. I don't know.
(Evan laughs) That's part of what
we're gonna figure out. What scents do you want our
toilet paper roses to be? Oh, I didn't grab any scents because (laughs) I don't
have a lot of faith that these will work. Oh, come on!
I didn't grab. I'm not gonna stand for this. I will sit. (soft bouncy music) All right, now I
will stand again. Thank you.
(Evan laughs) We still have a bajillion
candles or candle scents– From when we mixed all
of our scents together and made cursed candles.
Unfortunate, unfortunate.
And every time. I open the drawer
with our supplies, I smell that beverage candle. Let's go with.
It haunts me. You know what, fresh
cotton, I mean– You're not gonna go with floral. Oh, cotton because it's
toilet paper (laughs). Okay, I guess that's on brand. (soft upbeat music) Two, three, four,
five, six sheets. Six sheets for everyone
following along at home. Fold it in half. Very important for reasons. And then just make
it into a rose. Start rolling. I'm gonna start like adding– a little variation.
Yeah. Let it loose.
Variations like this. I think it's kind of working. It's kind of working! Not as a master
rose crafter though. It's a little big, but– There you go. There you go! Hey, it was that easy! Here we go. Looks so tasty like
peppermint bark. Oh my gosh, it really
does look tasty. It's goin', it's gettin' gooped. Get gooped! Is this gonna be red enough? I think maybe. It could be a white rose. We could just leave it. That would be
toilet paper color.
(Evan laughs) Technically you
could just set that on fire and it'd be fine. (Evan laughs) Also, how am I gonna
dip it all the way? They don't dip it all the way.
They just leave a nub. They just leave a white
toilet paper nub at the end. The red still hasn't
dissolved really. They're just suspended flakes– Suspended flakes.
Not melting at all. (Evan laughs) Oh, we're already failing. We're already learning. (soft chime) Well, I think that
there's like different wax and we're using soy wax which melts at a
different temperature. I think you're right. Should I just add some yellow? Yellow? Red? It'll add to the realism? Sure. Oh yeah, that looks way better. That's what we wanted! (soft jazzy music) Looks like you're like the queen of hearts painting
the roses red. Yeah. We just let this cool somehow.
Yeah. (water sizzling) They didn't really talk about– Ooh, hot! You okay? Yeah. Did you get some
wax on your finger? Just a little bit. I just wanted to see
as how hot it was. Okay, I can go.
(suspenseful music) I want to keep it
upright so that it dries into a beautiful rose so
I can present it to you. Oh!
All right. One thing I might be
interested in trying– Do you wanna say that you just
got it out of the freezer. I just got this outta
the freezer (laughs). It's just a wet paper towel. It's not waxy in any way. Look at that thin, thin
coating on my hands.
I wonder if like scooping it on little by little
will help add instead of remelt the wax? 'Cause I worry if we dip the
whole thing in there again– It'll just melt again? All over myself (laughs). KATELYN: Oh, it's on
your wedding ring! Oh no! Oh geez, it's
spreading everywhere. It's just so, it's
just so greasy.
Oh, it's just falling apart
and it's so greasy right now. (suspenseful music) KATELYN: Maybe you should
put on gloves next time. You are so smart! Thank you. Okay, second round
of freezer is done. Our wedding ring is still so– Your wedding ring is
still covered in wax. Mine is great! (Evan laughs) This might be the final dip. It has some meat to it now. Okay, I also was sitting
here looking at the images that were presented
to us in this hack. And you what I noticed? Look at the wick. Look at this wick! Look at this wick.
(Katelyn gasps) Look at the, look at this wick! Oh my gosh, their
wick is not red. Yeah. They added it! Did
they add a new wick? Did they just buy a rose candle? Did they just buy a rose
candle and add a wick? Look at this wick! KATELYN: This wick is
covered in wax.
What? It's all lies. Lies upon lies! These videos are always lies! Wanna do another layer? Yeah. EVAN: We're gonna
do a better job of this than they did! We don't even know
if theirs is real. That could just be a wax rose. This is all lies and treachery. I do feel betrayed,
(soft sad music) but I also feel like I
expected to be betrayed.
(Evan laughs) Wow, it looks–
So beautiful. It Iooks kind of like an organ. (Evan laughs) There's actually this
like weird lumpy part at the bottom, which I think
I'm gonna try cutting off. This is so weird. It's weird and it's wrong. Oh, oh hey!
Yeah, that helped! EVAN: Oh, that makes
it look way better. KATELYN: Yeah. Might take a while to get it lit because the wick
is really covered. KATELYN: It's covered in
several coats of wax, yeah. EVAN: Yeah, exactly. So it's not really lightable. We're gonna have
to melt this first. (suspenseful music) I might be going.
It's going. KATELYN: I think it's going. Hey, hey! What happens as it burns? What happens as it burns? Look, pay attention to me. What happens when it burns? And also maybe we should
either leave the area or like put on masks. 'Cause I don't know
about like burning in, like breathing in a whole wad of toilet paper with the fumes. Like is that okay? (suspenseful music) I'm gonna say yes. It's okay to breathe it in. Yeah, it's just cotton, right? Weird Google searches.
(Evan laughs) Can you breathe
burning toilet paper? Yeah, so this is
made out of all sorts of different ingredients, including not just paper, but also like recycled stuff
and everything like that. Then it's bleached at some point in the process to make it white. (bouncy happy music) Let's just stand back. (suspenseful music) All right, I'm already
starting to notice something. I'll use a pointing
device to point. The wick is black, but also the toilet
paper is becoming black all the way around it. So the toilet paper is burning and blackening right now. KATELYN: Yeah. Normally in a candle
you have a wick running down the center that
sucks up all of the wax and paraffin as a fuel–
Yeah. And burns that. This isn't a candle. KATELYN: No. This is a giant wick! (suspenseful music) KATELYN: This is a bad idea! This is a flame ball! It's just gonna
become a flame ball. I kind of wanna see it! Yeah, me too.
It's like you think you're
gonna have a romantic evening. You spend your
afternoon making– all these.
A whole bunch of them. All these like rose-shaped
candles for you and your significant other and you lay them out and you're having dinner
together and then– Surprise! (Evan makes explosion sounds) Oh my god! Look at all the, it's not
burning clean anymore. KATELYN: No, there's like
a lot of black smoke. I mean it's kind of impressive. KATELYN: Yeah, it's
quite the flame. Look at it shooting out! It's a thing. It is a thing! It's not a candle,
it's symbolic! Of what? 5-Minute rafts. How it might look
beautiful for a moment, but really it's a flaming
pile of toilet paper. (Katelyn laughs) It's weird how it's so flashy. Oh, it's like (blowIng
air in spurts). Yeah, it's like really like
a really violent flame. Do you hear it, do you hear it? Oh, I hear it! It's sizzling! Yeah, what's sizzling? You know, I think we
should take this outside.
(soft accordion music) Is this what you expected–
Ah. EVAN: When you chose this craft? KATELYN: I didn't, ah no. (Evan laughs) Man, look at all
the like dark on it. It's a fireball. That's a certified fireball. Well look at the wax! Oh, it's gonna get
on our driveway. (mat hitting ground) Oh! Okay, the driveway's saved.
Is this the most dangerous
life hack we've done? (suspenseful music) Yes (laughs)! This is the stupidest thing– ever.
I know. They showed this in
an indoor setting. Look at this, it's
a massive flame! That is massive!
It's massive! This is massive, oh, oh! It's truly, truly a fireball. You could–
Yeah. Attach this to the
end of an arrow and use it as a fire arrow. Oh yeah, for sure–
Right? KATELYN: And it looks like
it's dripping blood too. EVAN: That's kind of hardcore. KATELYN: Yeah. EVAN: That's really metal. KATELYN: Yeah,
it's pretty metal. EVAN: It's crazy though that someone just put
this out on the internet. KATELYN: I know– as like DIY instructions.
As a DIY For someone to do.
This is not. A fun accessible and safe DIY. KATELYN: No, this is danger. EVAN: It's only fun and
accessible (laughs)! (Katelyn laughs) KATELYN: Do you have
specific goals you want to accomplish this year? If you want to eat well, cut back on extensive
takeout and save time, you should check out
today's sponsor, HelloFresh, America's number one meal kit.
EVAN: We're not just
sponsored by HelloFresh. We're also actual
HelloFresh customers and use their
recipes every week. KATELYN: My parents are too and it's fun chatting
with my mom every week about what recipes they chose
from that week's 35 options. EVAN: But back to goals, If making calorie smart meals
is something you wanna tackle, HelloFresh has you covered and even lets you swap
sides or add proteins. KATELYN: Or alternatively, if having pancakes for
lunch is your goal, you can do that too. EVAN: They also save you time with their new fast
and fresh meals, ready in under 15 minutes, like Southwest pork
and bean burritos. Think these are the fanciest
pancakes we've ever made. (soft jazzy music) Cheers.
(bell ringing) So good, this is so fancy. We are so fancy! Go to hellofresh.com and
use code EvanandKatelyn21 for 21 free meals
plus free shipping. (soft jazzy music) You know, I kind of win
no matter what with this, because I like fire and
all candles involve fire. Nail polish! Are we doing water marbling? Maybe.
For the first time? Well, we did it– we did like a craft kit.
Oh right. Oh yeah. you're right. Oh! (inhales) Again, burning something that's
not meant to be burnt. Is nail polish– Nail polish is flammable. (clears throat) Nail
polish is flammable. I just wanna see how
flammable (chuckles). Butyl acetate. Ethyl acetate. Nitrocellulose. I mean every single
ingredient on this– Sounds like you
shouldn't burn it. Let's do this one
outside also (laughs). You know, I wasn't
planning for this video to be like dangerous life acts– but here we are.
Chaos, chaos, chaos! (beep) I mean, we've never
done water marbling with nail polish before.
No. Ooh, okay, I mean, it's kind of looking like
it's supposed to. Very fun, I like. How much should we do? I dunno.
I don't know. (soft jazzy music) Looks like a gender reveal cake. Yeah (laughs). It just wiggles. Okay.
All right. Seems nicely squiggled. I'm goin' in. Oh, it looks– pretty coolin there.
Keep it goin'! Keep, it goin', keep it
goin', keep it goin'. Here, let me get the stick. I can't see! EVAN: Let me clear! (soft music) (beep) Whoa, I mean– It's mostly green. It's still cool.
It's pretty cool though. How do we dry this? It's
covered in nail polish, like… (cabinet doors rambling) (flame whooshing) So we looked up. Tutorials on water
marbling and it says that you can wipe off
the beads of water after about five to 10 minutes. (soft jazzy music) Now we burn it? Yeah, now we burn it.
I mean, this one was
pretty easy to complete. Yeah! if you were gonna leave this
out as a decorative candle, that might be fine. But the thing is like if
you were gonna leave it out as a decorative candle– You could just
buy a fake candle. Or just do that to a
stick, I don't know. (Evan laughs) Let's burn it though! Should we do it in
here or outside? We can start in here– it's so cold.
Yeah.
You know, is this overkill? I don't know, maybe or
maybe it's what we need, which is why we're doing
this and you're not. A little bit of the nail
polish has gone to the wick and it's on the wick. It's getting sucked up. Yeah. It hasn't like
dripped down the sides. It's kind of dipping
in the middle– now.
Yeah, because it's Having a hard time
melting the nail polish. Smoke's happening,
smoke's happening. It's getting even bigger.
Smoke's happening. EVAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, something's happening. We've just been sitting here.
Okay. Like kind of
semi-monitoring things. KATELYN: It's definitely
getting bigger. Should we bring it outside? Wow, it looks like a spider web! KATELYN: Oh, now
it's dying down. Yeah, it might have been
burning off the nail polish. KATELYN: And now it's like, now it's really going
low, like really low. It goes through phases of flaring up and
then dying down and flaring up, then dying down.
And now it's getting big again. I don't understand. I don't understand! I don't understand. (inhales) It's
going down so much! Oh, is it dying? Is it dying? I don't know. I kind of hope that it dies
so we can end this experiment. TOGETHER: Die, die, die,
die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die! This surprisingly isn't dying! It's just kind of–
Yeah. Chugging through
the nail polish. Now, do I think
that's a good idea? No. (wary music) Does it look cool? Life isn't all
about looking cool.
I would know (laughs). (Evan blowing candles) Run! (objects crashing) EVAN: Ahh! (soft jazzy music) Are you ready for the next hack? I have everything prepared. I kind of wanna show
you the ingredients before you watch it, actually. It's so many ingredients. Yeah. Go for it! Can you guess? Various mixers, cupcake tins. A bowl. We're making a cupcake candle. We are. (soft jazzy music) Alright. We're gonna whip some wax. Oh. And apparently it looks
like that when you're done.
That's weird! Now look at it in that form, when they put it in, it's kind of like
liquid and chunky– right?
Yeah, yep. And now. What? They pipe it in a
whipped cream holder and it no longer looks
liquid and chunky! Like that looks like
actual whipped cream and also–
That looks like. Actual whipped cream. Also, I'm pretty sure
those are actual sprinkles, which you're not supposed to do.
Okay, so they made a wax bottom. Yeah, that part seemed simple. And they whip, oh my gosh, that's gonna get hot
molten wax everywhere. That's not what I'm into! But like this texture
difference, I am suspicious. I'm pretty sure they just
piped actual whipped cream. I'm pretty sure they did! (liquid dripping) Yeah, it
was tripping out the bottom– there.
Right! Right! It's like liquid and
like granular, chunky. This is like uniform,
literal whipped cream. Look at how puffy
it is right there. It's so puffy. At that moment. That is a hundred percent– whipped cream.
I feel like. I fell like it's just gonna
like glob and plop off. But the other thing is this, candle wax has two states, liquid and solid. Maybe there's– whips.
There is no.
There is no gooey in between. Unless it's whipped! Unless it's whipped! (soft jazzy music) All right, so this
is three settings. This is the low, the
medium and the high. Do you think I should
start with the low? KATELYN: Start with low. (liquid spinning) Hmm, juicy. EVAN: I mean, it is
goin' (chuckles). KATELYN: It's so jiggly. Whoa, oh geez, ooh! We might have to
put it in the bowl. EVAN: Ooh! Hey, maybe you'll
remove your hand and it'll be super whipped. Oh, a surprise for all of us. No. I just had another realization when they put the
mixer into there– it says melted wax.
Yeah. But it's white! It looks almost
like coconut oil.
It did look kind of
like coconut oil. EVAN: It looks like coconut oil. So it goes from candle wax
to potentially coconut oil to potentially
actual whipped cream. You see how there's this– (sneezing) I'm sorry. I know, are you
allergic to BS too? (laughing together)
So I looked it up. You are supposed to
be able to whip wax, but it says it needs
to cool in the pour pot long enough for it to
set up along the sides and have a film on the top. (mixer spinning) (soft jazzy music) Come on, whippin'! Oh yeah, look at
that, look at that! Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh!
Yes! EVAN: Wow, it's goin'. Oh, but it's much thicker! KATELYN: That's good! Should I go to higher speed? Yeah, just block it
with your gloved hand.
I just don't wanna get– any wax on this.
On this Evan Katelyn merch. From shopeevanandkatelyn.com. Oh yeah, it's very
valuable stuff. Look at that! Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's thick. It's really goopy and
quite solid and thick. It's goopy, but it's like
not grainy like theirs was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. EVAN: I mean,
honestly, wait, oh! Wait a second. KATELYN: Okay, this
actually looks good! Wait a second.
It doesn't look like theirs. Theirs still look like
actual whipped cream more than this, but this
actually looks pretty good! (soft jazzy music) Look at that, ha! Honestly, it looks
pretty dang cute. It is all wax! I don't think–
It's all wax! It's gonna be a danger. Now I do wonder, like
as you start melting it, will this spill over the edge? You know?
Yeah. Let's let it solidify– And then let's melt it.
And then let's melt it– and see what happens.
Yeah, yeah. Let's reserve judgment. Yeah, but like it
looks cute, right? Like that looks like I'd eat it! I have to admit, I
did cut the (laughs) the wick a little small, but I think we can get it lit.
I think we can get it. We didn't know how
high the whipped cream would actually pile up. I mean, sometimes with
these five-minute, is this five and a half crafts? This is five-minute crafts.
Oh yeah. I wonder why they
just don't do this! It's not–
I dunno. That much harder and
then it's real (laughs). I don't know. But this looks
completely different than what theirs look like. Theirs didn't look
like this at all. Yeah. Wait, wait, in their video, do they take it
out of the holder? I don't think so.
These holders are meant
to go in the oven, so it's still, oh
did they take it off? No, they took it off! Oh, ah (blows air). (Evan laughs) Silicone holders are meant for like 500 degrees
though or something. Ohh! It's okay, but it
actually looks great. But I mean– it's only cool.
That's cool. For this one moment. Yeah, once it melts
past the whipped cream, it's gonna look bad I think It's lame (laughs). But it looks cool now.
It looks cool now! I sometimes wonder,
don't sue me, but I wonder if sometimes
five-minute crafts, will see an idea
done well like this and then they do it
themselves poorly. You know, maybe I just
wanna believe, okay. Maybe you just wanna– believe.
Maybe you wanna believe. That there is integrity. (Evan laughs) There's some good people at five-Minute
Craps Corporation– to see.
Did say five-minute craps? Your subconscious thoughts
are coming through here, baby. I'm just trying to help
paint the humanity. (Evan laughs) (soft jazzy music) Well as we feared it just
spilled out everywhere. Unlike, you know,
a pillar candle, which kind of goes– in on itself.
Yeah. But, I think overall we can
consider this a mild success. We have a boring and
dangerous failure and then we have a very
exciting and dangerous failure. But through all of this, I think the most important
thing is that we had fun. So I'm gonna take
(paper crinkling) these two things (clears
throat) and I'll see you later.
(Evan laughs) (beep) I mean, look
at that though. KATELYN: Oh my god. EVAN: Thumbnail! (Katelyn laughs) KATELYN: Actually, yeah, get a little bit closer to it. Okay. That's hot! I can feel it on my face. KATELYN: Look at it. Okay, I think we got it..
