The toilet paper fireball reminds me of uni... One of my housemates had some candles that were too small for the candleholder, so she padded them out with paper towels.

I believe the toilet paper rose is in fact a fire starter you would put in your wood burning stove or camp fire. I make them from leftover candles, pine cones and dried flowers! As the wax melts it drips onto the dry wood below and helps get the fire going. ☺️🔥🕯

My Mom had no idea, at the time, that she was damaging her lungs.

My wife and I used to make candles semi professionally. That's what we did with all the leftover wax though we mixed it with wood shavings and added a lump of soaked paper towel as an easy lighting point.
One of my dad's many fleeting hobbies during my youth was candle-making. You can, in fact, whip wax. Every Christmas, he would make a batch of cranberry-scented red candles (in pint milk cartons) and we would top them with the whipped wax, which very cleverly looks like snow. But it is 'chunky', never smooth. And you have to whip and then apply to the candle swiftly, as it sets pretty quick (it is already partially set when you start the whipping). His finishing touch was to score a brick pattern around the block, and use candle-friendly white paint to highlight. The rough application of paint simulated mortar pretty well. Ah, the memories - pretty sure I still have one of those candles in our gazillion boxes of Christmas stuff.
I feel like the "rose candle" is more symbolic of a tryst than a relationship: it starts lovely and ends in flames. 😂

FYI, nitrocellulose (which was in the nail polish) is also known as gun cotton, which was used as a replacement for gunpowder.

The rose went from rolled-up flap of flesh to burning rose to fireball leaking wax on your (in the intended use) maple table, staining it before putting fire to your whole house. How romantic.
I honestly think the "whipped cream" on your candle cupcake looks a lot better than the five-minute-crafts one. You improved the craft by just following their instructions correctly. Well done as always

Soaking various flammable materials in wax is extremely common for making firestarters. A lot of people will fill muffin tins with sawdust, shredded paper, dryer lint, etc. and soak them with melted wax. I've also done cotton balls and vaseline.
The first is actually something I learned to do as a fire starter for hiking. Although that used newspaper or other clean trash paper or cardboard but the idea was the same. Crusr or oll paper looselyWax coverd paper is waterproof, easy to light and burns pretty hard

The candle rose with tissue paper and wax is a great way to make water proof fire starters for camping.
When it comes to how dangerous the rose candle fire was, I've had something very similar happen to me indoors in an apartment complex. I stupidly used scented candles (ALWAYS USE UNSCENTED) with my ceramic fondu pot, the wax overflowed over the votive candle container and created at HUGE fire with just 3 little candles. I'm talking flames shooting out sideways out of the little heart shaped windows, up and over the fondu bowl on top. The oil from the scent/wax dye caught fire and had a HUGE foot high flame. Luckily I watch a lot of kitchen nightmares and knew to douse it with a soaked wet cloth so I could safely transport it to the kitchen sink to put the fire out. Ironically it was for an anniversary date, and he didn't leave me after that huge fail so despite my cracked, heart shape fondu maker the relationship is pretty strong!
4:41 using multiple coats of wax might help, and maybe with beeswax instead
I never thought you could actually whip wax, but I have done that when making soap, like a latte soap bar with coffee scented brown base and vanilla scented whipped white top (and some real coffee grounds in the bar, good for exfoliating your hands!)

"It's symbolic . . . of 5 minute crafts." Had me laughing so hard!
The rose candle went from romantic one to a revengeful one :")
I have a theory about the nail polish candle flame situation .....the nail polish getting sucked into the wick acts as extra fuel, causing a bigger flame. When it's all burned off the flame drops down until it gets hot enough to pull more nail polish in and repeat the process
I actually used to make things similar to the cupcakes and sell them at craft shows. Usually I did milkshakes but I also did a few sundaes. The ice cream is a similar process but you wait a little longer for the wax to set and just spoon it out with a regular ice cream scoop. Usually they're just decorative and not meant to be burned though or you'll end up with them spilling out the sides (though mine were still in a vessel to help prevent that but you get the point). People have been making dessert candles for decades, so the one craft that ended up working by 5-minute crafts was something they ripped off from a tried and true method. The real fun candles are the pie looking ones though they tend to be more involved and use gel wax for a nice glaze/syrup along with molds for fruit and crusts. Fun to play with not to eat.
The cupcake candle is actually pretty darn cute. And I get the feeling it'd be really good to use for someone who can't have regular cake for whatever reason (like a food allergy) so they can still have their birthday wish. Or even as decoration you just keep it on a plate, so it looks like a cupcake just sitting out on a plate on your coffee table for some reason???? IDK, I don't get candle culture.
Would love to see you guys do a series on synthetic gemstones like sapphire and ruby. I've seen a few channels do tiny examples for fun, but never something more sizable using established techniques.
I remember making dessert looking candles for 4H when I was a kid. I was so enthralled by how whipping wax made it look like frosting! But man, the fireball candle is terrifying. I hope no one has actually attempted it.
I’m over here legit crying at the TP rose. 😂 This is top quality entertainment.
Okay but a flaming rose that's leaking a trailing pool of blood would be a kick ass tattoo that I now want to design.
This is why I love this channel. You guys just trying to figure it out whether it fails or comes together in the end. I don't care what video whether it's buy vs diy or testing "hacks" like this or just making whatever they all are fun and entertaining! Not mention just how much you guys genuinely get along comes through on camera and is just sooo wholesome and heartwarming!
17:10 candle wax has 3 stages 1. solid 2. liquid 3. GONE🤯🤯
The rose candle represents burning love and passion. It is an inspiration to us all.
Those roses are legitimately dangerous, youtube shouldn't let them trick people into making fireballs. It's an actual fire hazard that could hurt people.
Loved that first one! When I was much younger, I spent a lot of time playing with tealite candles. I always did this outside (and it's not safe to do inside), but I enjoyed adding a few extra wicks, usually made out of paper. The heat would melt all of the wax, and if it got hot enough (two paper wicks on top of the one it came with was typically enough), _the wax would start evaporating and burning independently of the wicks._ Did I mention that you should _never_ try this inside? Yeah, it's dangerous. It can be done safely, but it takes a lot of care. So yeah, anyhow, I knew _exactly_ where that was going. One giant wick covered in wax? Definitely a fireball! So fun to watch too! And yeah, the blood red color of the wax made it very metal. I'm going to have to start playing with fire again. (Carefully, obviously.) (Ok, so actually, I'm currently working on making an ultra hot torch that burns hydrogen and oxygen made using electrolysis, so I'm already on the verge of playing with fire again and much more dangerous fire too...)

@rybec, please be careful. Certain ratios of oxygen and hydrogen are quite explosive. LOL. During a school open house decades ago, I had the hydrogen-generating station (zinc nodules in hydrochloride acid) for the burning of hydrogen in air to generate water as confirmed by the condensation of water on a cold watch glass. Now, an important safety point was that one had to wait a while for any air in the Erlenmayer flask to be completely replaced by just hydrogen before lighting the gas exit tube. At the end of the Open House, two guys in my class decided they wanted to really make a big flame. So they removed the closing thistle tube, dumped a bunch of zinc nodules into the flask, replaced the tube and light the exit /immediately/. Said thistle tube became a vertical ballistic missile as the air-hydrogen mix in the flask went KAPOOF! Fortunately only glassware got broken, but I was SO MAD at them. I did see my chemistry teacher smirk at the incident.

as someone who makes candles... get a candy thermometer if you want to continue making candle/wax things. heat the was to 200 before putting color or scent. also with the whipped cream one, I haven't tried it but that could be actual wax with white candle dye in it
Evan: "why don't they just do it for real?" cause then it wouldn't be a five minute craps - whipped cream is ready now to fake, waiting for wax to partially harden takes too long
lol. We use wax dipped tp and tissues as weatherproof fire starters outside. As soon as i saw that hack I was like. Oh. OH! OH NO!
I remember watching Soph & Tyler remake hand soaps & it look a lot of special time & stuff to make the whipped cream look. It was kinda scientific.
Seams like a good DIY firestarter for like a log fire
I think nail polish only seriously flammable when it's wet. I don't think I'd try this for boring candles however. I really liked the cupcake one even if it did 'ink' itself! LOL. And I laughed so hard when you predicted a fire ball on the rose 'candle' and it really became a flipping FIRE BALL!
The 1st candle could be kind of useful when making a campfire because it burns pretty slow. Also imagine like romantic night campfire with those candle roses

15:02 my professors to me last semester. 🙃
the whipped waz is definitely an actual thing, i friend of mine makes a lot of cake and drink candles with "frosting". my friend normally makes them in like. glass mugs? but yeah, those other two are. Concerning.
Royalty Soap should see these disastrous 5 minute craft “hacks” Good effort on the cupcake candle :3
Like how often does it happen where the hack channel clearly cheated and changed a thing, like swapped out whipped wax for whipped cream, and then Evan and Katelyn decide to do it the legit way, and then it turns out maybe even better than the fake original? That's pretty hecking satisfying. Hahaha. ^_^ You guys are awesome. :P
I love to see people make candles for some reason
First idea may be super dangerous, but gave me a SICK idea for a DnD weapon! :D
The paper wax rose would probably be good if you're giving a gift to someone who goes outdoors a lot. It would be a great firestarter!
"5 Minute Craps" is the Freudian slip we can all agree with. LOL
