    Some of us are blushing with embarrassment remembering our indulgence in some of these. But, of course now you know we have to go do some tie dye and color a velvet poster! We asked one of the grouchier team members at Utrecht Art Supplies about favorite art trends in the 90s, and the answer was "Having to mail actual film slides of artwork to galleries, with return postage. Making collages with paper rejection letters from the same galleries."

    I'm a 2000's kid, but I've actually done all of these multiple times! Okay, maybe not the gel candles, but I had a water candle kit which was even weirder. And I've made regular soy wax candles too. I guess that the dying vestiges of 90's craft trends crept there way into the 2000's to die. When you do 2000's things, I recommend plaster crafts. I had plaster fairy-shaped magnets that you could paint, a plaster snowglobe kit, and make your own chalk--which wasn't exactly plaster, but it was very similar.

    Oh hun You should give the candles another chance ! You didn’t cut the gel anywhere near up enough (actually made me laugh when you said it looks exactly like the box I honestly think I did this perfectly 😂) you need to cut it up into very small like mm or cm pieces so there isn’t so much air circulating through , It should be like a mashed up jelly consistency and packed in .. the big chunks just left way to much gaps that’s why it didn’t work cuz usually gel candles will burn slow just like a normal candle 💜

    I feel like there's a fatal flaw in sand art that maybe didn't effect everyone who did it but boy it ruined all the ones I did. I lived across the street from freight train tracks. Every time a train went by, it shook the house. Over time, the vibrations were enough to ruin any little design I made. Everything eventually mixed together. I can't imagine having one of those complex designs and in you know, a couple months...it just looks like nothing. Something something temporary nature of life something something. As a 90s kid, I was just sad about it

    • @shellie.alamode
      @shellie.alamode 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn't live by train tracks but mine inevitably always got messed up. Just like Rae's final product, you can see they never give enough sand to fill it all the way. And even if by chance it seemed filled when I made it (like if I made only two out of a three-pack so I could use more sand), it always settled more as it sat. So, being a kid, naturally it would eventually get knocked over here and there on my dresser, fall to the floor, etc and the more it fell and got picked up, the more of a muddled mess of color it would become lol.
      I never heard the "fill with glue" trick till I saw the other comment just now. Guess I needed a non-existent life-hacks video back in the 90s to tell me. :)

    When I was like 14, I worked at an event where they had me manning the sand art table. The catch was that between "classes" (groups of kids coming through on rotation to choose a craft to work on that day) I had to dye the sand. They had powdered dyes and numerous containers of sand for me to use to achieve this. I spent an entire week, 2-3 hours a day, shaking sand and powdered dye together between groups of kids and then helping make sand art creations and then cleaning up the table and floor around my table. I got such a work out from that experience, but it like... solidified that the extra work was worth it to me. The crafting part was so much fun!!

    The gel candle... oh the memories! We did this in school, I think maybe like 3rd grade, but not with the gelly 'wax' you had, but melted jelly wax. We didn't handle it ourselves obviously - we did however get to put a bunch of glitter, plastic beads, sequins and all the other sparkly plastic thingies you could imagine having in the late 90s in it!
    My parents (thank god) never allowed me to burn it. But then we had the part where it was very sticky jelly. The dust layer on top of that candle within weeks of making it was insane. By that point I'm pretty sure that the dust itself was almost a bigger fire hazard than the candle itself.

      Maybe the gel-candles were for kids whose parents wanted them to avoid the danger of hot wax. Because I had never heard of gel candle kits but when I was a kid in the 90s, I made SO MANY crayon-dip candles every summer at camp.
      We did have adult help, being that it was at camp, but basically you'd put broken crayons into empty soup cans which cans you would put in pots of boiling water to act as a double boiler. When the crayon was melted, we'd dip yarn into the wax, pull it out to harden, dip again for anther layer, etc, etc until it was basically a taper candle. the idea was that if you dipped it right and went light to dark you could get a cool gradual rain candle or something, but based on my color choices and how crayons aren't designed for this, I always ended up with muddled gray-purple tapers.

Also using a fabric stiffener on doiles to make tiny country style hats that would hold potpourri. All these little country style crafting items were popular in decorating home. People got crazy with hot glue guns making some of this stuff. However for clothes it was bedazzling things, so tacky. I can't believe you forgot friendship bracelets.

    The gel candle kits weren't around when I was a kid but I did have a "proper" candlemaking kit with rubber moulds, paraffin wax chips, colour powders and Sandalwood oil perfume. I think I was about 7 or 8 at the time (it was the 1970s) - and nobody took the time to show me how to do it! One of the arty kits I remember from roundabout the 90s were the scraperfoil kits. I did a couple of them and enjoyed them while I was making them but they did get a bit samey after one or two. I was very much into jigsaws from being little up into my 20s. Another popular thing from when I was a kid were the magic painting books that you just needed a paintbrush and a jar of water for. I used to really love doing them!

      My mom had plastic candle-making molds, and one time, my school was going to do candle-making, and I was all excited to get to borrow one of my mom's molds for it (I also brought little trinkets to drop in occasionally, to make my own 'treasure' candle that would reveal the trinkets as the wax burned down...(I'd gotten one previously and remembered it being fun, so I wanted to make my own, heh.)) ...then, once I'd filled the mold with the wax, I was dismayed to find that the candle wouldn't come out! I had to destroy the mold to get it out, because whoever mixed the wax forgot an ingredient that would make it pop out of the mold easily. (Sterin, I think?) So yeah, I was bummed that I had to destroy my mom's candle mold...I don't completely remember, but I think the candle broke in the process, too.

    Ohhh yup, the nostalgia. I think one of the weirdest trends I remember is a 90s/2000s crossover, but lite bright pages with those weird pegs kept me entertained for hours, and also I remember my sister would braid these colorful plastic/rubber strips into keychains or animals. Beads and friendship bracelets were the shit in the 2000s too. I can't wait for the rest of the series!

    Sand art is weirder even than it seems. It was quite popular in the 1950’s and earlier, but as a souvenir. When you traveled to a place like the Grand Canyon, you’d collect bits of the different kinds of sand or rock, and when you got home you’d crumble them up into sand and then make a little souvenir jar. Or you could just buy them at souvenir shops at the attraction. People had collections of places they had been or their friends had brought them. In addition to geological sights, places like the Holy Land and Egypt were ones I remember seeing. Needless to say, this is completely unacceptable with increased environmental awareness, but times change.

    Never tried the candle making kit, but I remember that jelly candle thing. Usually it was sold at gift store and oftentimes the candle would have underwater scenery with sea shells and fake plants in the pot since the jelly is transparent. A very pretty gift to make but the burn time definitely didn't last long.

    I remember the gel candles, it wasn't necessarily a craft for kids, but small time crafters would sell them at the swap meet. (They probably still do.)
    They had like beach designs of sand and shells, and probably your grandmother had them displayed in their bathroom. I don't know if anyone actually burned them.

    I have to pause and comment on the tie dye! When I was a kid doing tie dye in the late 80s and early 90s, we didn't have the benefit of looking up a variety of cool techniques on the internet. But we still had a blast and a VERY messy time rubber banding our shirts any which way and then soaking in buckets of dye (no gloves and dye in bottles, lol! We used the boxes of dye and mixed whole buckets of color!) Oh the challenges of trying to apply different colors, lol! As a mom and an art lover, I thoroughly enjoy my Tulip tie dye kit, although I still forego the gloves 😆 my kids and I had an absolute blast not only dying plain white shirts and successfully doing our chosen designs, but also reviving beloved t-shirts that had gotten stained ;)

    Lol I'm at the gel candle part and they still make those. You can get solid blocks of it off of Amazon. A lot of people will use the gel in certain candle designs. I've seen people cut it and use it as ice cubes in candles that were made to look like margaritas or various other drinks. My mom used to use it in the 90s in candles she made to sell at craft fairs. We also had a lot of candles that were shredded. People basically did sand art with shredded candle LOL.

    Here's some 2000s ideas (I was born in 2002): Moon sand and kinetic sand, the bracelets made from the plastic string (especially the square one), the clear gel fish tank candles, crystal growing, scented gel pens/ pencils, bedazzling things, silicone bracelets, slime, adding patches or pins to jackets, beaded jewelry, melting crayon on a canvas, making your own multi colored crayons with the crayola crayon maker, making a fleece blanket by cutting 2 fleece blankets and tying them together (I still have mine from elementary school), and there's so much more I'm not thinking of.
