[oldladysocks]

[thelovelybones0521]

I love Obama girl in the key of awesome

[SuperLolly321]

[luckyodeler]

I came back to this vid just to make sure you weren't using plastic #7, which leache BPA when heated. :-)

[TheBashir85]

Guys u thats cool.... i will give it a try.

[punkmonkey123]

Do you think this is how Kiki Kannibal makes her shitty necklaces?

[jazzmine98]

[Cupcakepandacrafts]

[rem042]

[DrDolansKinetoscope]

Any reason it says Obama Glirl...?

[robertjuh]

[prouck]

[LillyPadNo3]

[kevkou44]

[Philly2Brooklyn]

[renix005]

[amberleeonline]

[warquix]

[yreana]

QUESTION: ok, so I realize that video was posted a long time ago but wondering if you can post the stencil for the earrings?? PLEASE... i don't have editing software nor nice handwriting!!!

[xtinaofficial]

i thought it said "GLIRL" at first

[toodaloos93]

ONE TIP THOUGH: Instead of using a pair of scissors, you should use an exacto knife...

[punkergirldemon1]

could you use a soda bottle for the plastic??

[MandyCandy64]

How do you wash the shirt after you spray paint it? wont it run?

[lilboybelew12]

Just to let you know, i was making one of these and not only did i accidently cut one of the words of once but twice! then when i went to spray paint it, it got all sticky and stuck to the stuff i spray painted it on. :( but now i think i got it! if i can figure out how to spray paint!

[bigjowezy]

thanks for the tip

[shedisturbed]

go to my computer/ local disk C (or on which disk u have your windows) /WINDOWS/ fronts

And then copy it there

[CatspitProductions]

See my videos for an explanation of the photo emulsion screen printing process.

[Xhardcorekitty]

do u have to use shrinky dinks or can u use some kind of other plastic paper like the photo paper u bye and u print ur pic on it just wondering

[disneymileyselena]

i think you have to use shrinky dinks cuz they shrink better

[GoofyBandChick]

omg im soooo going to do this taday! lol

[mumyer]

very interesting

[JesseHepworth]

lol, Cetaphil. I use that. <3

[realdeal119]

this girl gat an ass on her. ummmm daddy like

[metalliccrush]

[hhhheyhe1]

kool

[VirusGreen]

of course a shirt ;)

[VirusGreen]

Made my own!Cool

and Obama Girl isn't a loser

MsticalPrincess hand down from me

[jillyspice]

how long does the #6 take to finish in the oven?

[secondhandsmokexx]

Obamas about politics not a trend. This is really ridiculous along with the "Obama Gurl".

Although the necklace making technique will be used for something else.

[MsticalPrincess]

Obama Girl is a loser

[xkellyyyy]

no u.

[BonitaAplebalm]

hey does anyone know if you can use anyother color on the necklace

like can you spray paint it red or something like that?

[StabxWithxPaste]

y not?

[EvilAshanti]

Doesn't that say "Obama Glirl" ?

[Avierockie]

I think it's "Obama Gurl", but it probably is Glirl

[zizicandy]

no, its just a werid looking U.

[EvilAshanti]

Ohh Ok I see

[pandabear124]

This was really helpful^^ I actually made a the Gazette name neckalace hehehe

[ferretsforver]

neat idea! but, booooooo! Nobama! lol

[jian2069]

"cut out all the negative spaces. that means the black parts"

LOL

[arikantal]

Ignore racists. Racism is a mental illness that blocks out all information that doesn't support their racist ideas. You can give them all the facts in the world and it will mean nothing to them. They are deaf and blind, and stuck in the sickness of their minds.

Just ignore the pathetic little worms. One day they'll die and be out of their misery.

[pmoyer50]

@arikantal: Just because a person didn't support Obama does not make that person a racist. If it wouldn't have been for the white voters he never would have been elected, moron. America isn't as racist as you think it is. Though it is safe to say that if he was really dark he never would be in the White House. He can thank his blonde fair skinned white mother for that. His father basically abandoned him. That isn't surprising. Vote for Hilary Clinton for a real change.

[prcsjnkns]

@pmoyer50 what do u mean "that isnt surprising" r u saying that black men are deadbeat dads or r u saying that men in general dont make great fathers. if its the former u r a racist. hilary clinton can run for president next term.

[jiplin]

so...can you just wash the T-shirt like normal? (don't know if this is a dumb question or not...)

P.S. Sweet video!

[DrDolansKinetoscope]

You can, just wait for it to dry first.

[FunnyGirlz221]

@jiplin if you want to you can use fabric paint (make sure it's the kind that will move with the fabric) and follow the washing instructions

[TheUnIoader]

Listen all white people! the black man is becoming more and more advanced hence hes going to be superior to us.Now fuck all your sisters and keep it white!

WHITE POWER WORLD WIDE!

[jian2069]

your right

[crazymusiccc]

Well, you know what? I am white. And I (unlike you, and whatever messed up information people have been feeding you to make you believe that what you're saying is true) never generalize people into categories. I never decide if I dislike someone before i meet them. However, to every rule there is an exception. Racists disgust me.

The only other time I have heard or read anything like what you just wrote was on the Ku Klux Klan website, when we went on it for history class.

[crazymusiccc]

Get out of the 1960's and shut up with that ridiculous propaganda. though it's true that all those crimes are and have been committed, they are committed by people of all races. It is NEVER acceptable to generalize a race in the disgusting way you just did.

And as for this 'white violet crime crisis', hate crimes have been historically preformed by WHITE, HETEROSEXUAL, PROTESTANT OR CATHOLIC MALES. So dont even start with your racist shit.

[MissCoco1024]

wow your the dumbest people i ever talked to in my whole life... you seriously are racist and i hope u burn in hell with all the other people like ...cause God doesnt like ugly ...and ur the ugliest person ive ever meet in my life (both inside and outside)

[MissCoco1024]

and if black people are all those thing then my did barack obama win? ...why were there over 20 million people at his inauguration? why do people believe he can change the US and bring us all together ... there are alot of things u dont know about us so dont jugde before u get to know us. and im taking back " i hope you burn in hell with all the other people like you" because im going to be the bigger person ...

[MissCoco1024]

so i hope you understand that black are not the cause of all the violence in the world ..the violence is cause by all. Even you and me. So be racist all u want but trust and believe you wont get far in life with a disgusting attitude like that.

[autobotknitter]

Thank you so much! Now I can do my Autobot & Decepticon shrinky-dinks for my Ravage plushie!

[MissCoco1024]

Actually most blacks are not violent ...its only when ignorant idiot like u say some thing completely absurd that we take action... if you took the time out to understand us then maybe u wont see us as a threat or violence ...but if you want to think that way you are entitled to think like that but just know that until the day u die will you always see a black people ..and i bet your mixed with black somewhere in you because it all started in the motherland, Africa..so get over ur big fat ego!

[TheBonnieRose]

Obamatastic!

[bushrawx]

as much as I hate Obama and want him to fail, this was rather neat. Good job guys

[MissCoco1024]

wow really your really mature!!!

[aubs5678]

i just made the cutest bracelet

[boatsdahippo]

OMG now that I know I can just use #6 plastic??!?!?!!

Going to do the same ;)

Great vid as usual guys!!!

[aubs5678]

hey thread bangers i made a heart peace sign w/ the #6 plastic i finally found isit supposed to be very light weight cuz mine weighs like half an ounce

[HalloDeyo]

I JUST REALIZED! it says Obama Glirl! xD not Girl! lol!

[SweetAngelGirl]

no its girl but spelt with a "u" (gurl) it gives the word attitude

[internetxfreak]

i loved the shirt!

i need to make one

[guava665]

you guys are cool!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA RULES!!!!

[curtidor1]

Que tienen que ver Obama y las Ciencias Exactas?

wannasol com

descubrelo

[cheesechoker]

Terrible

[Chick6517]

hehehehe thats really funny i wish i could see something like that in real life instead of just on a video.. seems like it would be better in person.

[Greatdanesrock5]

When you make the Shrinky Dink with the plastic, do you HAVE to sandpaper it?

[HeadNtheClouds]

YEAAAA!! Shrinky Dinks, so many good memories of my youth. Great to see it coming back, arts & crafts made out of leftover plastic containers, that RULES!!! NICE!!

[fabricekanda]

thats so smart thats all I can realy say so smart

[ducklemon]

This is so awesome, im going to put the Obama stencil on all mai bland t-shirts, that and one of Ghandi.

[nessagc]

bahahwoooooow!!! that was amazing, thank you so much!!!

[ainteasya]

i am going to might that obama shirt right now!!!

[lynxhasbigholybawls]

smart

[funnyhaha07]

Do anyone in the black community realize that Obama wants them to CHANGE the most? Stay in school, don't sell drugs, don't keep creating lil bastard children. Many blacks have CHANGED but not enough! I sure HOPE the black community will CHANGE, CHANGE their ghetto ways so that their children won't continue to suffer. And don't use adversity as an exscuse to blame it on THE MAN. My father had much adversity and he is a very successful self made man!

[karelhain]

i made an obama shirt!!! thanks guys i didnt know itll be that easy. well the whole cutting out the stencil was a bit messy since the ink didnt really settle on the paper and it was a little time consuming. if you'll call 10 minutes time consuming. hahah. =) but yeah thanks. im wearin my shirt tomorrow to skool =)

[dwnsideupturtle]

I love threadbanger but I don't sewing. I LOVE tutorials like this one!!!

[aubs5678]

i saw like this #6 styrofoam cup would that work

[Voyagette]

can you use regular rough shrinky paper in the printer?

[Doublespeaking]

a)Shrinky-dinks are a rip; one can do the same thing with #6 plastic. b)How can you credit someone who makes an uncreative rip-off of another artist's work with creating an "underground phenomenon"? Shepard Fairey, a STREET ARTIST, before going mainstream, was a literal underground phenomenon long before the personality Obama's praises were heard on every street corner. TB, you disappoint me more with each new episode. A for effort, but your roots are still more pure than these new leaves.

[HairFlipinKitsune]

but they said that in the vid silly 8D dont be so picky with things..it just causes drama sweetheart.

[Doublespeaking]

I didn't notice that they mention #6; my computer skips bits in videos. By pickiness, do you refer to my mention of plastic or mention of Shepard Fairey? Because, being an artist myself who has experienced "art mooching" first-hand, I'm tired of Threadbanger promoting it. Their old videos were cool, and so, shame the new ones. P.S. Don't be so condescending... it just causes further irritation.

[HairFlipinKitsune]

teehee im an artist silly. threadbanger always asks 1st and gives full credit..plus that person wanted it to be put out. And me just asking you not to cause drama is no condescending...im not saying im any better than you -_-'' im done now <3

[modernlovers77]

There's a link to acidfonts in the info bar sillies.

[Nymphoids]

will thia work on a microwave oven? lol. i dont know how to use the regular oven :|

[kawaiimew7]

no, it won't. i tried, lol. use those toaster ovens with the little dials (or read a manual)

[mothmish]

Are you 'tarded? HAha, there's dials that tell you what to do.

One has the bake settings. Just use regular old bake. The other has the temperature settings. Turn it to whatever you have to. Easy as that.

[Nymphoids]

yeah, sometimes I wonder the same about me too... I "actually" know which does what, but I always end up getting burned somehow...so yeah

[marisotoserna]

good stuff u know this last week i have been a stenciling freak so this is a pretty sweet way to keep it up thanks!

[girrrlychild]

the #6 plastic thing is near genius...i work in a restaurant and we discovered that by accidentally dropping one in a fryer. slow day pass-time - coloring on to-go boxes with permanent markers and then deep frying them. whoot!

[myvkvlt]

Wow, that's amazing~ xD

[nakiakia]

i love obama and now i can make gear for him omg thanks threadbangers,and that was funny at the first part lol

[mizdistinct]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!

[acsial]

This is really embarassingly silly. Barack Obama's campaign was largely funded by huge corporate and union donations, not tiny, individual donations as the press propaganda would have everyone believe. Obama's donors will get their money's worth--FCC policies, trade and labour legislation, porkbarrel projects--once he's in office. You people are acting like silly little girls at a school pep rally.

Adam C. Sieracki

[Nymphoids]

to each their own, man :)

[jmsgirl95]

not a big obama fan but it was ok i guess i would much rather it be McCaine but oh well

[ansigtsmaler]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

[poodlepaws]

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

where can i get some shrinky dink paper?? love it!

[smokinthaherbs420]

dont use spraypaint! :( what r they thinking?!

[surfer2damax321]

how do you get the font you like?

[kawaiimew7]

google it. There are a LOT of font downloading sites.

[TheWelcomeChange]

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite episode, it's just so cool

[creativewifee08]

Love it!

[Purplishous873]

i love this episope!!! but ive been trying to find a photo editing program but i cant find one can some one plz help me!!!

[HuffleThisPuffle]

Hey I read somewhere that shrinking number 6 plastic in your oven is bad because it leaves toxins in the oven. is this true or not because I really want to try it...but I don't want to poison my family :S!!!

[Paramoreisaband]

Yeah it's true we use it at school but have to wear masks before we melt it.

[modernlovers77]

Whenever I bake things like shrinky dinks or polymer clay I like to clean out the oven with a good oven cleaner after. If you are really worried about toxins from shrinking plastic You could try looking for an old toaster oven at a thrift store and dedicate it to just crafting.

[HelenMClyde]

This was really cool!!! I didn´t know about that shrink foil before, does anyone know if it also works with more detailed images like photos? Because, I can already imagine a cool keyring for my grandma with pics of my daughters, or a heart necklace with a picture of me for valentines day, or so many more things. But will the picture still look right after baking?

[smlopez321]

QUESTION!! Will the spray paint hold up after washing? Is there a way to seal it, or perhaps a special type of spray paint that will not wash out? Thanks! :-)

[modernlovers77]

The spray paint should hold up on its own, but you can also spray on a protective top coat. Whenever I paint objects I like to spray them in clear outdoor topcoat to protect them from scratching.

[otay5]

awesome!!! i absolutely loveeee this week's episode!

[GakkiSai]

-_-; why you gotta get political? really! WHY?

[minxinx]

love the jewelry !

[chstreehugger]

I'll make some DIY Obama stuff for when he comes to Ottawa. I can't make it to the innaguration but have fun! :)

[LittleMissJuicebox]

shrinky dinks harden like that?

i never knew that.

[hunthicks]

Thanks! But, I have to ask, why the #6 plastic? It's shrinkage properties?

[YunaKitty2987]

It really irritates me that "Girl" is spelled that way...

[adryroseinbloom]

wow. mad props!

[snotybubblebiscuts7]

That's a really good Idea!!  I want to try that now! :)

[supacoolken]

dude chill out, it's a crafts vid

[thequesadilla]

he isn't president yet!! that's WHY he hasnt been able to do anything. keep your shit comments to yourself.

[shenqi60]

I hope you get shoot, racist ass.

[MerryChicky]

cool idea for jewelry - love the #6 plastic upcycle tip!

[mercymile]

I like this idea... but I probably won't be making an obama necklace... i didn't vote for him. I'll probably make one with my name or my son's name. A while back I think that someone put up a tutorial on how to make shrink plastic with old plastic bottles or something.

[htrfdes]

You all have such great ideas!!!

I've become more craftier; thanks to threadbangers!

[ENERGYandLIGHT]

great processes - first i've heard of that shrinky print paper. not so hot on the obama stuff though. reminds me of when Blair was elected in the UK...

[fluffycat21]

obamasized i like it :)

[annarexik]

I make collar and rings with shrinky plastic, but, I can't have the same size of the pendant of this video, it sucks for me ! If someone does know (with the method which use shrinky plastic, and Coloured pencil) please help me !

[PrincessMultiracial]

my most favorite video!! watched it so many times

[vitof250]

IT SAYS GLIRL

[vitof250]

best video ever!!!!! like EVER SERIOUSLY!!!!!

[thisvlogisforwilly]

I'd like the stencil of Rob and Corrine for a t-shirt :P

[amberlbrowning]

AWSOME you could make so many things with these tips!! I LOVE you guys!!!!!

REALLY i mean it i LOVE you both!!!

*doing the sissors thing with my hands*

[ThreadBanger]

Aw, thanks. We love you too!!!

[rossman4eva96]

at school on Tuesday, im totally going to wear these! im gonna make a necklace and a shirt!

[Ceiligirl]

I think you meant to say "cut out the positive space".

[brynnaleighx3]

yeah, i got kinda confused for a second there too.

[lcooke]

wow i had no idea you could shrink #6 plastic! awesome!

[bloodytea]

seriously. that is so sick.

[emmeenchanted]

Obama Inauguration Gear? *barf...

[RicardoRedefined]

Rawr... xD I loved the song in the beginning.

[xBlueLolita]

Wow.. You just saved me hundreds of dollars in jewelry

[ThreadBanger]

Hooray! Not to mention all that plastic...

[nedmanders]

obama or bust-love the sign! oh yeah walmart carries fabric spray paint now. i wanna get some to try it out. just a fyi for you guys!

[mesovogue]

that shrinking thing is the best!

[bluemike155]

awesome video guys, this was great, can wait to try out some projects like this!

[silivrenisil]

That's hella cool. When I saw the size of the stencil before you put it in the oven I kept thinking about Flava Flav's huge necklaces.

[kraigsmith1]

omg O_O

I HAVE 2 BUY ALL THIS STUFF NOW

OFF 2 WALLY WORLD :DD

[cherryjewel]

I hate it when you guys do political crap.

[silivrenisil]

Well, the theme is Obama gear--but you can use those techniques for a lot of other craft projects...

[b4thestephera]

omg this is incredible, i've never heard of this shrink stuff, time to make a lot of personalized jewelery!

[ThreadBanger]

And make a video about it, perhaps? =D

[BellaOfBacardi]

Awesome tutorial! ;o)

[vietchicken]

woah!! Never thought of using plastic :D

[missmuffcake]

When handling the shrink plastic wear gloves - it can burn!

[neddie58]

I love the jewelry

[killerwill55]

im really sick with all the obama crap..

[meggers505]

someone who knows what they are talking about finally! way to go, you rock.

[insanity54]

What happens if you dial "9" when faxing?

[KnittyKitty227]

The world explodes. :)

I tried it.

[smlopez321]

In an office you usually have to dial 9 to get a dial tone in order to make a call outside the office. (Known as an 'outside line')

If you don't dial 9 you can only make calls within the office.

Sone fax machines need a dial tone, others don't...like the one in the vid. ;-)
