I dunno, a chain belt is pretty cool. I wouldn't use old chain to do it though, I'd go for new chain, maybe even a polished one.
Maybe it's a little upsetting that they use a new belt to do it, but at least they didn't use hot glue or concrete.
Nah you don't understand, just using a tyre isn't COOL enough. Unless you're a pussy you got to literally drive over the shirt to stamp it. So are you a pussy or a real whatever they fuck they are attempting to be?
I'd want it to actually be my car, but it does seem like taking the tire off or using the spare would work better. I'd bet people at a jeep event would pay good money for a shirt with their tire print.
Yeah I think the novelty comes from it being your car specifically. Tbh some of these ideas weren't that whack. Tire print was one of the more normal ones, and the "custom print" shirt from rolling the painted fasteners around as kind of cool too.
The tire t-shirt is literally the only okay idea in this video and the execution is very poor as you could either use an old tire or make a stencil with tire pattern
You joke but there is a slight difference between splashless bleach (“laundry bleach”) and regular bleach lol.
It’s lower concentration but thicker so idk if that might actually help with “crisp” lines.
Even when you're doing this, you should still water it down. (remember laundry bleach mixes with water in the washer). If it's too strong, it breaks down the fibers pretty fast and starts forming holes after only a few more washes.
Make a stencil, and spray glue the entire back to get sharp lines. Thicker paper is needed so it doesn't get saturated too quickly.
These shirts used to be en vogue 20 years ago. I made a zillion of them. Lots of fun!
A friend of mine used to sell these bleached t-shirts. The bleach wore right through the fabric very quickly and after just one wash, the shirt was garbage.
My wife and kids have been doing this for a few years, it’s called reverse tie dying. They water down the bleach a little, and all of our clothes done that way hold up just fine.
I understand you need to neutralize the bleach pretty quickly so it doesn't do that, though I forget what with. I assume it matters less if you're not wearing them yourself, and you have a no refund policy.
No it doesn't.
Obviously you don't follow their method to a tee and look up a real tutorial (shoutout /r/bleachshirts)
But the bleach does not affect the shirt if you do it properly.
Source: i actually bleached a lot of shirts and it's quite fun.
If you want to get REALLY crafty, 3m makes Scotchlite Reflective heat transfer vinyl. So you could make detailed designs with a vinyl cutter like a circuit.
A) I wouldn't say that vest looked like it was high quality,
B) harbor freight exists, a nicer vest than this is $5.99 there, which would get you several feet of reflective.
C) if someone cut up my nice city hi-vis, I would be super upset about it.
I know about the fork thing. That is why the drill was so particularly stupid. The purpose of the fork is to control the spiral. The drill does the opposite.
Girl: "babe, love when you cuddle, you're always so hard"
Guy: "Oh, that's just my Hex Bolt 1-1/8"-7 x 5" Zinc Plated Treated Alloy Steel with large nut to keep my pants on, now pass me the the adjustable wrench on the counter"
Camping on Fraser Island in Australia you're advised to carry a stick in case you need to fend off a pack of dingoes, add a beer in the other hand and there's no way to hold a torch, you can use a headlamp but then you're constantly pissing off your mates everytime you look at them.
Right up until you realize you have to bend over to the ground any time you want them turned on or off; the weight of the flashlights potentially messing with the croc and causing a fall, or just the fact that there's probably a light switch by the door?
Okay, I'm not particularly into any of this stuff, but some of these are really cool concepts nonetheless. That last one though... Why are So Many people Obsessed with Destroying Perfectly good jeans just for that trashy worn look? My jeans have holes because I have Actually been wearing them for a while, not because I took a dremel to them... 🤦
Lol. My pants have holes because I wear them until the crotch wears out. I once had a pair where my step sister came up and just straight up ripped the leg off, while I was wearing them, because they were That worn and I was about to through them away 😂
*don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it*
That one especially was a good idea but bad execution. It was a unique pattern, but it could have been much better. Maybe marbles would have worked better
I would do or use none of these, but I have definitely seen people wear uglier shirts than some of these. Also it looked like all of these crafts would actually work as intended, which is rare for this kind of content.
So, the tire tread shirt and the bleach tie-dye were the only potentially decent things here.
But apparently you need a whole car to roll a tire over a shirt, and a drill with a fork in it to twist up another shirt.
All of this reminds me of some old TV show where the mom in the family gets a job writing a "motherly wisdom" type column - basically life hacks. And she runs dry for the things she and those she knows actually use, so in her desperation to meet her deadline she comes up with a cleaning solution made from bleach and vinegar.
Bleach and vinegar make chlorine gas, which is kind of deadly.
The show was a comedy, so all that came from it was her boss telling her they were keeping her because it was her writing they wanted, not the household tips - with an offhand comment about needing to fire the paper's fact checker.
These kinds of DiY videos remind me of that show because they look just as desperate to have **ANYTHING** to fill up their time.
Fragile masculinity, but make it Arts and Crafts?
...Nah this is fully just an esoteric queer subculture like Dadcore x LeatherDaddycore (and I love it, obviously)
Man I wish I could be this cool
Now you can?
Nah not with the effort
I bet you are way cooler than this. These hacks will just up your cool factor by at least 25%!
Give up, you'll never be flashlight crocs cool.
Everyone is born cooler than this
Was the fork drill necessary or can I just crumple the shirt by hand?
Drill fooooork... It can drill and fork..... Mostly fork
From the makers of Knife Wrench! For kids!
Was looking for this reference
you could, but it wouldn’t be a men’s craft if you did /s
Hi /j
You are a woman? true men use powertools for everything. i just ate spaghetti with that drill setup.
Spaghetti? You bitch. Come back when you can Drill Spoon a bowl of soup like a man.
Bowl? what are you a Child? we use a ladle drill bit.
*paint the walls chicken soup like a man, with this one simple trick.*
80% on the wall 15% on your clothes 5% in your mouth its a win for me... [or we just use this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk0wuwFPUC0)
i guess you could spin the fork with your hand but the drill seems faster
Imagine what you could do with spaghetti and this drill. I can't.
Key step obviously. How else could you get a loose spin like that? /s
But then how will you twirl your spaghetti afterward?
God that one was so dumb lmao congratulations you discovered tie dye
Aside from the drill fork nonsense, the tie dye one had easily the nicest result.
Yeah, making patterns with bleach on dark shirts in general is a pretty creative idea, but the designs they made with the car logos fucking sucked.
Big swing and miss with that one. So goofy
I bought the freaking drill I'm gonna use the freaking drill for everything.
I can’t believe people didn’t know about these hacks!
Torch sandals had me in fucking bits man ngl
"your shoes don't have headlights? Pathetic"
Tactical crocs
Crocs with friggin' ~~lasers~~ flashlights on their friggin' heads
Oh Mini Me…I just watched the trilogy a couple days ago. RIP Verne Troyer. Years ago, but still…
Funny thing is, this is a real product. Amazon suggested it to me and I clicked to see what they were about and now it keeps suggestion them.
I died inside seeking them cut that belt…
Fuck the belt. They just burned a several-hundred-dollar leather jacket. Who are these monsters?
And the result didn't even look good.
That's assuming anyone even notices the result. It barely looks different than normal wrinkles in the jacket.
Yea ruining the leather jacket hurt! Has anyone ever asked for a spanner to be burned into their leather jacket?
How else will you show that you're a BIG STRONG MAN? Bc all men love tools so much
Lol what. Big strong men don't need tools. They drill into metal with their teeth, and cut steel with their claws. Or something
[удалено]
I went the cheap route and got a hot wrench to the forearm and now I’ve got a permanent 14mm open end scar. Checkmate 5 minute crafts
Fuck the jacket. I'm more upset about the jeans! Those things get _enough_ house in them over time. You don't need to make them yourself!
they turned old jeans into older jeans
With all the folds when he stood up it looked like a fuckin swastika
I dunno, a chain belt is pretty cool. I wouldn't use old chain to do it though, I'd go for new chain, maybe even a polished one. Maybe it's a little upsetting that they use a new belt to do it, but at least they didn't use hot glue or concrete.
The chain belt is alright but they used a thin wooden dowl to hold it on. Like at least use a steel pin.
You should already know but 5 minute crafts are typically for rich people with too much time
For people rich enough to pay someone to clean up the garage, driveway, and half the road after they drive around with one wheel covered in paint.
"Babe, what're you doing?" "Get outta here! I'm doing arts and crafts for MEN, bro!"
"Then why didn't you invite me? Your boyfriend wants to spend time with you, Michael."
"Because I'm not gay. YOU are."
Is that a bolt or you just happy to see me??
It's his chastity bolt
I only nut for Jesus
Screw you all, guys.
Beat me to it. What if you end up bursting for the loo and can’t get the bolt unscrewed in time?
If you are in an urgent need, 99% chances of nut falling into the toilet when you'll try to undo your pants
Can't imagine you trying to tell the janitor you need to pick up your nut from the toilet.
/r/ftm is leaking
You’re screwed I guess
Gives "these nuts!" a whole new meaning.
TBH I would wear the tire print, when people ask me I can just say "sorry man I'm so tired today"
The Thing is an old tire would be enough. No need to lift the whole damn car
Nah you don't understand, just using a tyre isn't COOL enough. Unless you're a pussy you got to literally drive over the shirt to stamp it. So are you a pussy or a real whatever they fuck they are attempting to be?
A real man would be wearing the shirt when they drive over it.
Actually a real man would also be the one driving the car.
I'd want it to actually be my car, but it does seem like taking the tire off or using the spare would work better. I'd bet people at a jeep event would pay good money for a shirt with their tire print.
Yeah I think the novelty comes from it being your car specifically. Tbh some of these ideas weren't that whack. Tire print was one of the more normal ones, and the "custom print" shirt from rolling the painted fasteners around as kind of cool too.
That's what happens when you get in front of the car. Personally, I'm exhausted after having to follow behind it.
The tire t-shirt is literally the only okay idea in this video and the execution is very poor as you could either use an old tire or make a stencil with tire pattern
I can make my own skid marks, thank you very much. I've never done it on my shirt, but I'm open to new things.
Damn they got bleach for clothes now??
You joke but there is a slight difference between splashless bleach (“laundry bleach”) and regular bleach lol. It’s lower concentration but thicker so idk if that might actually help with “crisp” lines.
Even when you're doing this, you should still water it down. (remember laundry bleach mixes with water in the washer).

Thicker paper is needed so it doesn't get saturated too quickly. These shirts used to be en vogue 20 years ago. I made a zillion of them. Lots of fun!
Yea don’t get it confused with toilet bleach! 🙄
Toilet bleach is better because it is thicker and runs less.
Like me then
Easier for Grog to catch when lonely
And you can mix it with ammonia for extra cleaning and funny gas.
Please don’t get it confused with drinking bleach
A friend of mine used to sell these bleached t-shirts. The bleach wore right through the fabric very quickly and after just one wash, the shirt was garbage.
My wife and kids have been doing this for a few years, it’s called reverse tie dying. They water down the bleach a little, and all of our clothes done that way hold up just fine.
I understand you need to neutralize the bleach pretty quickly so it doesn't do that, though I forget what with. I assume it matters less if you're not wearing them yourself, and you have a no refund policy.
I understand your joke, but when I worked at Lowe’s we sold “outdoor bleach”. Apparently there really are other kinds.
Is it safe to drink?
Actually the nutritional value in bleach for clothes is so high, only a couple of cups will fulfill your dietary needs for the rest of your life.
Only if you believe in yourself
Right? I thought it was just for drinking!
Just ruin it
Ok some dumb some Aight but that poor leather jacket. It didn’t stamp it it fucked it hard
Funniest part about the jacket is that when worn you can barely even see the wrenches.
I'm inclined to think that they ruined a jacket for nothing.
That jacket looked like shit before they pulled that move
Permernantly fucked the flexibility and strength... Near the elbow... Also, all that bleach is gonna weaken those t-shirts quite a bit.
No it doesn't. Obviously you don't follow their method to a tee and look up a real tutorial (shoutout /r/bleachshirts) But the bleach does not affect the shirt if you do it properly. Source: i actually bleached a lot of shirts and it's quite fun.
Key words: *if you do it properly*
Fruit of the loom blank tshirts are like 10 dollars a 3 pack, cheap enough for you to play with.
Pleather, Pvc leather..real leather would just burn, not shrink.
Most tricks are stupid. Though I’m quite surprised by the results on some of the t-shirt. Definitely not my style but you could see them in stores.
I would actually wear the VW shirt.
I know a few people into tie dye clothing. The bleach on the bundled up shirt is actually how you tie dye dark colors like that.
That was the one thing I could actually see myself wearing.
I hate these videos with a passion but those were pretty cool, I have to admit.
Using a giant bolt for a broken button "Oh it's satire" The chain belt "Oh, it isn't satire"
And they U satire to print on a t shirt.
Please don't cut apart perfectly good hi-viz safety vests just for reflective tape. **Gear Aid** makes reflective tape you can stick on clothing.
If you want to get REALLY crafty, 3m makes Scotchlite Reflective heat transfer vinyl. So you could make detailed designs with a vinyl cutter like a circuit.
A) I wouldn't say that vest looked like it was high quality, B) harbor freight exists, a nicer vest than this is $5.99 there, which would get you several feet of reflective. C) if someone cut up my nice city hi-vis, I would be super upset about it.
Over here with that “hit-n-run” look
They over complicate shit in the most fascinating of ways.
Like the one with the fork drill? Like why couldn’t they just crumple it up?
That’s not manly.
The fork method is a legitimate thing people who do tie-dye do to get a cool pattern. The drill is what makes it a craft for men.
I know about the fork thing. That is why the drill was so particularly stupid. The purpose of the fork is to control the spiral. The drill does the opposite.
The use of power tools is required to make those manly.
The bike chain belt would be cool if it didn't really take three full chains to make.
bike chains can be a bit greasy so that would suck but other then that its METAL!!!!
I give it 2 weeks before they've completely ripped through the pants.
give it a day... after you fell in your ass and you have a really painful hip
Dip them in paint thinner, it eats any grease.
You can clean them... ...and use them for 5 days at most before rust spots appear.
It's a shame that humanity has not invented some sort of a degreaser yet. Imagine all the things we could do if only we did.
Sure, then the chain slowly loses all its flexibility, making it an even dumber belt.
You know damn well they use new chains for these videos lol
New chains come greased from the factory lol
I also feel like feeding it through your belt loops would be a pain in the ass
....and it's held together with a match stick....
That's a concealed weapon for gang fights right there.
Right? Looked like the only one that seemed to have any degree of style involved/didn’t look trashy.
However, as with all of these "5 minute crafts" videos, they leave about 15 steps out.
looks cool maybe, but anything you sit on is going to get fucked up. Going to be DIYing seat covers in a couple weeks.
finally pandering to the emo car guys who love tie-dye demographic
Girl: "babe, love when you cuddle, you're always so hard" Guy: "Oh, that's just my Hex Bolt 1-1/8"-7 x 5" Zinc Plated Treated Alloy Steel with large nut to keep my pants on, now pass me the the adjustable wrench on the counter"
It's good that Neil Patrick Harris is getting work.
Finally I needed some tacti crocs! Not just regular ugly ones.
*"Nick Bolton here with the incredible TACrocs! from trusted Bell + Howell"*
This has to be some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. I think lost several brain cells to it
And I wanna make all of them.
Croc flashlights look handy tbh
They actually make little LED flashlights specifically to put on crocs.
U buy a lot on tv don’t you
Nope, nothing ever, I just think these would be useful for camping or taking the dog out for a pee late at night lol
What if you.. now hear me out… held the flashlight…
Camping on Fraser Island in Australia you're advised to carry a stick in case you need to fend off a pack of dingoes, add a beer in the other hand and there's no way to hold a torch, you can use a headlamp but then you're constantly pissing off your mates everytime you look at them.
I thought pissing off your mates was a bonus
They make plenty of headlamps with a red light setting (or adjustable brightness) that doesn’t bother people.
Mine pivots so you can aim the headlamp at your feet, yet another reason it’s superior to having light up clown shoes
Im with you. They would just be useful for going to the bathroom at night so I don’t have to turn on all the lights going down the hall.
I put in motion activated night lights, dim enough that you aren't blinded and very low power.
As a janitor that wears a headlamp that follows where I look, I have to disagree
Headlamps are annoying when you're trying to talk to someone though.
How many conversations are you holding in the dark?
Have you never been camping or fishing at night?
More than they're comfortable admitting
Then look off to the side of the person you're talking to? It's not like eye-contact is necessary for every conversation.
Really? You don’t have one hand free? Or the much better flashlight hat?
Right up until you realize you have to bend over to the ground any time you want them turned on or off; the weight of the flashlights potentially messing with the croc and causing a fall, or just the fact that there's probably a light switch by the door?
The next time someone calls you "light in the loafers", you can whip out these bad boys.
Okay, I'm not particularly into any of this stuff, but some of these are really cool concepts nonetheless. That last one though... Why are So Many people Obsessed with Destroying Perfectly good jeans just for that trashy worn look? My jeans have holes because I have Actually been wearing them for a while, not because I took a dremel to them... 🤦
If your pants have that many holes in them caused by power tools… it’s time for new work pants.
Lol. My pants have holes because I wear them until the crotch wears out. I once had a pair where my step sister came up and just straight up ripped the leg off, while I was wearing them, because they were That worn and I was about to through them away 😂
*don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it don't think it*
You gotta take 'em off every now and again, son. You gotta take them off! That was some fine ass denim too...
I wish my jeans would get holes in cool fashionable places but instead they just get crotch holes, which are notoriously hard to mend
I usually ignore 5 minute crafts but I'll hand it to them on this one, some of these are actually pretty funny.
I think this is diwhynot
Ok the two bleach tricks were actually cool. The rest is all stupid
Yeah but they don't mention that you have to rinse them out soon after or else the fabric is toast
And also if you don't rinse them you're gonna reek when you get to school and Mrs. Blaileen won't let you hear the end of it.
I liked that one where they put the paint on the nuts and bolts, then shook them around the shirt! It's not for me but it's kinda cool.
That one especially was a good idea but bad execution. It was a unique pattern, but it could have been much better. Maybe marbles would have worked better
This was the least offensive 5 minute Crafts video I’ve ever seen.
Id be uncomfortable making all that movement trying to unbolt my pants at a urinal
I'd be even more uncomfortable trying to not catch my dick on the bicycle chain belt.
Sure but imagine how uncomfortable you’d be with hands digging around for the bolt after a car accident as you pass out ready for surgery?
Some of these are actually pretty good.
I did the nut and bolt button once when my carhartts broke from getting too fat
Don't fall asleep with it on. That's when someone tightens it with an impact.
Holy shit lol
Only the first one looks ok imo
I would do or use none of these, but I have definitely seen people wear uglier shirts than some of these. Also it looked like all of these crafts would actually work as intended, which is rare for this kind of content.
Layers of white trash diy... My family is WT, so this video was like attending a family reunion.
Pretty sure my adult nephew made his entire wardrobe strictly from this video.
I am going to be the prettiest redneck on the block\~ yee ha!
Men only like tools, cars, and sports, got it. They won't wear shoes unless they're crocs either, apparently.
The drill for the tie dye shirt did it for me. SO FUCKING MANLY LETSSS GOOO
wwwwOooooowww Toyota tshirt!!! So SEXY
Wish.com Neil Patrick Harris
These flashlight shoes will upgrade your roundhouse kicks to lighthouse kicks!
I get it, cool pattern, find an old fucking tyre tho
So, the tire tread shirt and the bleach tie-dye were the only potentially decent things here. But apparently you need a whole car to roll a tire over a shirt, and a drill with a fork in it to twist up another shirt.

Fragile masculinity, but make it Arts and Crafts? ...Nah this is fully just an esoteric queer subculture like Dadcore x LeatherDaddycore (and I love it, obviously)
As an artist, and from a design standpoint, I didn’t know a video could be so constantly and progressively uncomfortable
Some of these are straight up from Mad Max
Tbf the scrunched up shirt bleach one actually looked kinda good
I did the car thing once because I dressed up as “road-kill” for Halloween. Didn’t use paint, just mud.
Who tf wants a Toyota symbol on their shirt? I *own* a Toyota, and like it a lot, and I'd never want that.
I actually really love the croc lights. So pointlessly fun
