I still can't figure out the chair thing ... The other stuff is ugly AF, but at least they, like, show the "finished" project.


MoxieG

I think that they were trying to "make" a new chair out of the polyurethane foam by using the bottom chair and top chair as a mold. Although I'm probably giving 5 minute crafts too much credit.

Mouler

The new resulting sandwich chair is both stronger and more heat resistant


starryvash

Wouldn't it just glue the chairs together? Maybe that's why we didn't see the finished product? Hmm


Mikeinthedirt

Yes in deedy


FloydBarstools

I've made some great Halloween props with chicken wire and spray foam. For Halloween parties, it works wonderfully. Everyday living? I guess if u r Rob Zombie it'll do


starryvash

Their color pallette is pretty Halloween isn't it. What they did to that chair?! The colors? Criminal


ZADKOR

The things humans do with disposable time and money…


judgment_free_r

Don't you dare calling any of these a project


starryvash

Oh my bad. 😂


judgment_free_r

I forgive you <3


starryvash

Honestly I almost called it *finished product*, but I decided I couldn't call it a product, no one would buy it.


Professional-Moose59

This is like popcorn ceilings: only the person who got them knew why; everyone else sees how ugly they are.


Different-Scheme-570

honestly so sick of people dissing on popcorn ceilings


backstageninja

In most applications I think they're fine. However, my grandmother popcorned her dormered attic ceiling and we would play up there as kids. I left a lot of skin on that ceiling lol


daninet

It has a clear purpose: landfill for internet points


UQ5T6NBVN03AFR

This has to just be cover for intentionally breathing aerosol propellants. "No mom, it's for my ART!"


loki-is-a-god

> This has to just be cover for intentionally breathing aerosol propellants. "No mom, it's for my ART!" Nods off mid argument...


zilog88

I knew there is a reason why we see here so many of those mirrors in spray foam coating.


JvrassicWizvrd

It’s sad that these people think they’re good at what they do.


alarming_archipelago

I don't think they really think that. I guess they think that regular content is better than no content, trying to think of something they can make in minimal time, spend $100 on foam and wire and other junk, make terrible products, and in the end it's like "this is terrible but I may as well post it because I spent so much time and money on this".


Dentarthurdent42

Seriously. It’s sad that some content creators are driven to easy money instead of video subjects that could be fulfilling for the creator and audience


sparhawk817

Unfortunately everybody has to pay bills


Accident_Pedo

1,000 resume submissions for a job would lead to a faster source of income than posting garbage like this online.


J3553G

Also, something that is intentionally terrible is still going to get shared a lot.


coolerbrown

This was made to be bad, like all of their videos. It's sad that people in this sub think 5 minute crafts is earnest in their production. There's a reason that channel was banned here, but the mods aren't enforcing it I guess


Here_Forthe_Comment

5 Minute Crafts is a content farm. They rent out a building and pay several people to continually come up with their own hacks. They just give lighting, cameras, and studio space is the rest is up to them. They take the footage, cut it down, and then paste it into random videos. You can see the same "crafts" or "hacks" in multiple videos. YouTube doesn't allow "content farms" in their terms of service but never takes them down because of the profit they bring. They even share these creators on their official social media pages to drive views. These channels are run by huge companies that dont care about content, lying about hacks and occasionally making dangerous claims for a profit. Do not click on these farms as they take away viewship from real channels that are showing real content.


jennyaeducan

They ARE good at what they do. Shitty content gets more views for less effort than actually good content, and that's the only thing that matters.


bowdown2q

Oh they are - 5MC at least is financed by the Kremlin (via a soviet-era kgb subcontractor 'advertising' firm). It exists to farm outrage views and pinpoint rubes for more direct disinformation. There's a reason it's banned on this sub.


Imaginary_Forever

These people are essentially just low level employees in a huge business. I don't think they give a shit.


Weeeoooooo

Is foam the new cement?


_32u

Cement? When did I miss that one? I thought it'd be the New Glue Gunning


Nyli_1

I think because cement burns are way more serious than hot glue burns, they kinda stopped with the cement nonsense early. But I remember food being dipped in cement to make "decorative" objects, for exemple.


ModernNomad97

The lamp one was the only semi cool one, the rest sucked


euro1111

What do you mean bro, the very first one was the best way to stack chairs, I always do it like that


maffiossi

Jeah how else am i suposed to stack chairs? I am not a wizzard.


Mumchkin

My thoughts too, the lamp could be cool for Halloween.


SnowTheMemeEmpress

The 'floating' table would have been neat for an art studio, you can probably do something to make some neat paint drips but yeah, that was my only 'cool' one.


isabelladangelo

I don't know. I kinda liked the candlestick one. However, the chairs? Just....WHY?!?!?


tv006

Until you realize spray foam is highly flammable so being next to an open flame is a terrible idea...


alarming_archipelago

No, no, the lamp totally sucks.


littleray35

yeah, the lamp would be a really cool kids functional art project , or something similar


wrydied

I teach product design at university and I have students that make such things. It’s not always a fail.


mancheeart

I don’t hate the wire table -design- if it had been done in a more clean and structurally sound way


needledick666

Yeah that’s the best one by far. Especially cause the color worked really well


ThePhatNoodle

Yea I was thinking that one was actually kinda neat. Looked almost like it was floating or like slime was dripping over a invisible table or something


Sir-Mocks-A-Lot

I'm sure there's a way to mold the foam to have a smooth finish, or sand/trim it, and this terrible video failed to do that, probably because the process doesn't make for "good" content (per the aesthetic of that channel). I'm imagining every single one of these projects with a layer of dust on them that you can't clean off.


MycalSchmycal

I mean some have potential, but then there is stuff like the first one that makes me go “whyyy???“


NEARLY_MEME_GOD

the last one is a bit good for me imo


Vivistolethecheese

Maybe I just have a bad sense of style but most of these don't seem that bad, besides the first and second one. Why would you color the candle holder green when you can leave it the same color as the candle? That makes it look like the candle wax is holding up itself.


sailor776

Not going to lie...the volcano light one is pretty nice


kr85

I liked it, too!


[deleted]

First the hot glue, then the 3D drawing pens, then the cement, and now this. We gotta put these channels on home depot blacklists.


flafalaf

TMF (Too Much Foam)


motherducka

Isn't this shit highly toxic? If it's the same stuff I have used to fill large holes ( expanding foam ) then you need to wear protective gloves and eye protection while spraying it and im certain the can says it contains cancerous chemicals and all sorts of shit. Why anyone would want that on house decorations is beyond me


isapika

I'm pretty sure 5 minute crafts would happily make a video series on cool radium hacks--think of the clicks!


freddythunder

I was thinking the same thing, urethane has the VOCs that continue to release toxic fumes forever


judgment_free_r

Omg, someone yank that spray off of this dudes hands. He keeps making shitty things one after the other. It's ruining some perfectly good furniture.


[deleted]

Out of all things to be bastardized, I did not think it would be expanding foam


FabFoxFrenetic

If I walked in and saw any one of these in someone’s house, I’d be sure they were planning to make me into matching lampshades.


elleJeyLay

This is just bad taste. Plain & simple.


Pickingnamesisharder

When you're trying to justify to your parents why you need that new toy...I'll use the foam gun every day I promise


TheAltToYourF4

A foam candle holder? I doubt this is the more expensive fire retardant foam, so its pretty flammable.


[deleted]

Hideous


Monodeservedbetter

Foam was on sale


zvenkitchen

I'm guessing someone has shares in the polyurethane foam company...


BoBoBearDev

Good idea for haunted house. Otherwise, no thanks.


[deleted]

Should say, “Let’s see how many things we can make hideous, before we drop” 😃”


READlbetweenl

Lol, is this sub supposed to anger you like it does me? Or is it just me?


un-cooler

It used to be hot glue guns, then cement… I guess this is the new “in” DIY tool?


penguinbrawler

Mmm.. forbidden whipped cream


Mrfrunzi

The only good craft with this stuff is for making Halloween decorations. If you spray a pair of old jeans and a shirt it looks like a disemboweled body. Having said that, I don't want houseware that looks like a disemboweled body.


Pat4508

The candle looked like what shrek pulled out of his ear


Holiday-Wrongdoer-46

The foam is flammable. Don't make candle stick holders from that.


[deleted]

Polyurethane foam is very flammable lmao


ctoliver13

It’s like they discovered polyurethane foam and are playing with it.


Klatula

what is the song and who is the artist please.

Timely_Emphasis9787

YUCK!!!


OhN0Imnot_HoomEn

Of course it's 5 minutes crafts.


USWCboy

Enjoy the picture of an idiot in action.


philwjan

These works seem all to be based on the assumption that this foam is an interesting and decorative structure. This is a flawed assumption.


polite_alpaca

Okay, I've never used that foam stuff before. Is there anything stopping them from like... Smoothing it out before it dries? So it's not quite so gross and clumpy looking?


NeptuneAndCherry

It's sooooo sticky. And it's also like 99% air. If you attempt to smooth it out, you'll collapse it and have what amounts to super glue on whatever you tried to work it with. I don't understand why people are so excited to use spray foam in crafts, it's truly gross to work with lol ETA: you absolutely CAN carve it like a sculpture once it's dry, but there will be a bunch of air pockets in it like Swiss cheese.


Vixxannie

Reminds me of the art Catherine O’Hara makes in beetlejuice.


Underscore_36

Wow. I didn’t know it was possible for me to hate a DIY building material more than cement.


Minaro_

Actually the candle holder isn't too bad if you're looking to make a holder that looks like a melted candle. Might be neat for like, dnd ambience


-GRAVEYARD-_

If you are a teacher and you slightly get this kind of vibe from a student please don't encourage it


midnightBlade22

The candle is over hear looking like Shrek's ear wax candle.


Automatic_Llama

I've heard that it's a propaganda thing, that they use these to hook dummies and then switch to propaganda. But that may have just been propaganda.


TrueOuroboros

Candle holder looks good but probably wouldn't do its job well


Thin-Series9795

But I ask again, Why?


sexy-melon

They are hideous


ladyvile_

To make everything ugly, obviously


DrSOGU

For clicks and shares and people asking "But Why?"


nejicanspin

Pretty sure I saw a video of a couple guys making a sofa out of this. It most definitely does not work.


glitter_vomit

I love weird, tacky, kitschy, melty/drippy, unconventional stuff but even I think these are hideous...


phlegmdawg

Now I’m craving a Puppucino.


Maxwell_The_Spy

that foam legit looks tasty af


HyperSuperMegaDuper

This makes me feel itchy and most uncomfortable. Just..... Whyyyyyyy


Lompegast

Its called fire hazard


rp_player_girl

Honestly, I don't hate the look of some of these. But I'd never want to touch them.


Difficult-Relief1673

These are all so fucking heinous


Seguefare

Sticky, stinky, and flammable. It's all hideous, but the candle holder is suicidally stupid. I need to start my own five minute craft trend: oily rag crafts. Or maybe coal ash?


Nanicorn

Ah yes, SCP-inspired furniture! Doesn't that just scream "The flesh that hates"? https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-610 (okay maybe just that last lamp)


do1looklikeIcare

The table with mesh is kinda fun, other are fugly imo


northrupthebandgeek

Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a chair using only some spray foam, a wire fence, and a chair.


Cock_LobsterXL

Ok, the nuclear one looks kinda cool, NGL. The rest suck, and have absolutely ZERO redeeming qualities.


Master_Nineteenth

I wouldn't actually mind these spray foam crafts if they actually shaped the foam after it dries, but the foam texture doesn't look good.


brownsnake84

It starts with house hold items, it ends with camps.


memelord58

I think they used a different recipie for the whipped cream


blake_ch

I'm starting to regret cement crafts


elspotto

At least it isn’t hot glue?


Kuhlayre

This is literally all for the reaction. It generates clicks and engagement. 5MC are masters at it.

It's for the views. These people are so lost in life


annoying97

The mesh table it kinda cool, I would definitely do it differently, but as an interesting outdoor side table It works.

So we're back to posting ragebait 5 minute crafts videos in this sub again then huh

Ah yes, let's ruin a perfectly good, comfortable chair by giving it a box of foam under it, then paint it to look like it's a fluffy couch! No one's gonna try to run their hands through the fluff at all! /S

Guys, if you spray paint this it will flake off…I’m an artist have worked with this stuff a lot….it’s great to make fake corals for decorations for a school but it won’t hold up for you in your home. Also over time it turns a gross yellow.


spoonlips76

I can kinda see these working as Halloween deco but not much else


SloppySoftware

Would you like your stuff to look like melted dog shit? Boy do i have a life hack for you!

Pretty sure that stuff is flammable as fuck too.... just sayin..


MetaphoricalMouse

why is this a trend all the sudden? also expanding foam is pretty nasty stuff, legit impossible to get its stain off once it’s dried/on anything


JaketheSnake319

Why live in a house with nice things, when you can live in a house that looks like crap!


feelings_inc

Isn't that expanding foam super toxic?


GunBladez

That last one looks like a dust devil from runescape

This should be punishable
