Customizing Hydro Flasks - Summary

Summary

The video is a tutorial on how to paint a Hydro Flask water bottle. The host, who is a fan of painting and decorating, starts by discussing the popularity of Hydro Flasks and how they have become a trendy item. The host then introduces the Hydro Flask they are going to paint, which they have named "flaskie".

The host begins by removing the label from the bottle, which they do by creating a genie-like effect. They then prepare the paint, which is a mid-grade acrylic paint, and add a load of white paint to create a lighter version of each color. The host then tapes off the stainless steel rim to prevent paint from getting on there.

The host then starts designing the bottle, creating a sunset look on the top with a pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue gradient. They also paint an underwater scene, which they had not seen on any other Hydro Flasks. The host then adds some standard ocean creatures to the design, including a clown fish, jellyfish, goldfish, seahorse, and a character named "orange fishy".

The host then reveals that they had to do the entire design over again due to the paint scratching off the bottle easily. They used parchment paper to prevent the paint from sticking to the pink paper and pulling the paint off. The host then adds some little bubbles to create an underwater look.

The host then applies a varnish to seal the paint in, as they do not want the paint to get chipped up. They apply four thick coats of varnish to ensure the paint job lasts longer. The host then reveals the final results, which they are very happy with.

The host then introduces a new product, a baby hamster design based on a previous makeover they did. The host then discusses the process of painting the Hydro Flask again, this time with a more cartoony style. The host uses pasta pens to paint the design, which they find to be very smudgy. The host then adds some detail work to the design, which they find to be very enjoyable.

The host then outlines the design in black to help it stand out more. The host then goes in and cleans up the logo and applies about four coats of varnish over the design to protect it. The host then reveals the final results, which they are very happy with.

The host then concludes the video by stating that they cannot choose a favorite between the two designs and asks the viewers to vote on which design they prefer. The host then thanks the viewers for watching and will see them next Friday.
