Hi everyone! Wanted to clear up a couple things! I used the phrase “I’m an artist not a crafter, I can’t do crafts” crafters ARE artists! What I meant was, I am the type of artist who draws not the type of artist who makes crafts, or writes/sings songs, etc. the umbrella of an artist is so large! I just didn’t perhaps use the correct term whilst speaking/should’ve said I’m a painter/drawer/sketcher? Type of artist? I know a lot of you know exactly what I meant but some of you perhaps took it to heart I meant otherwise. I can assure you I think crafters are just as much artists as people who draw. Sometimes what I mean and what I say when speaking fast doesn’t always mean it how I mean it in my head, so yes to clarify - crafters are artists, musicians are artists, I’m the type of artist who draws not the type of artist who is good at crafts (if you watch to the end you’ll see me fail at them greatly) Secondly, YES I have got Jazzas art box on the way and will be reviewing it when it gets to me. But it doesn’t ship until the end of July :)
It's sad how these big companies are getting into the monthly subscription boxes and they are all trash. That box shouldn't be more than $20 with shipping.
@Emily Cooper True, but this kit is ambiguous in the respect that it's supplies are VERY cheap and definitely beginner grade ( Edit: Wrong crappy subscription box) with a cost that could and should have included artist grade supplies. The contents of this box is not even close to its $40 price tag. Also, why did they put pretty pastel clay creations on the outside of the box, but not provide the colors of clay to recreate them? I'm not saying the box is a terrible idea, but is poorly curated and the price is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY if it's marketed for children.
20 is generous honestly. At my craftstore I go to I could probably get everything individually for maybe 12 dollars before tax. (Not counting the disgusting smoothie whatever-it-was.) The activity instructions also are worthless because little craft pamphlets like that usually can be found for free at stores.
She paid 50 dollars for it. But she accidentally said 40 throughout the video that’s why she kept putting up the picture of the 50 dollars to correct herself. Just clarifying :)
I did the math: Using the CHEAPEST price for each item on Amazon, Dollar Tree and Walmart, the value of ALL of these items isss....*drumroll* $25.91 (Sneakz Organic Veg Milkshe single= $2.73 Crayola Magic Model Clay single= $1.27 Crayola washable acrylic paint single= $1.39 (per 2 ounce bottle) Marble Post-its= $2.99 Crayola perm markers single= $1.60 Paintbrush= 40¢ Unfinished wooden shapes= $1.49 Clock dials (with battery box)= $4.79)
Where the hell did they come up with, "50$ value?" That's such a lie it's ridiculous. I'm so pissed and I wasn't the one who bought this. Makes me not want to buy anything crayola ever again.
I looked up the items (even the drink) and it's a value of roughly $26, nowhere near $50 and definitely not worth nearly $40 crayola is a dissapointment lol
Like you said,not bad items just too high of a price.They should either bring down the price or include alot more products.Crayola is a big well known art supplies company.I know they can do better than that(especially when its most parents who will be purchasing for their children)
Okay, I seriously got a call from some random number when I was unboxing this too!! WHAT?! 🤔 Maybe they were trying to tell us to give a positive review. 😂
The really insulting thing is not only did these supplies not add up to the price you paid ($37) but it claims to be a $50 value. It's barely a $20 value, if you're being generous.
its for children though. and if you buy all of the art supplies separate crayola said the value was 50. if i was 8 i wouldve loved to have had this. im a painter and a baker now, so of ofc now i wouldnt, and im only 17 so i feel if i wasnt an artist at this age i prob would still love it as something to do with my cousins. it legit said kids paint on the box, parents want paint that can easily wash out, not quality paint that its hard to wash out and is a hardewr medium to work with than thinner washable paint for kids. i had model magic at the age of 9 and i personally loved it. it was just fun, i do not think 6-12 year olds are thinking about making high quality art, rather than a artist like chloe would. also they didnt use plastic for the environment, something a bigger company wouldnt care about. amazon art supplies are higher quality but for one pack of paint brushes i got SO much plastic. so i feel for kids for making something for fun that they will forget about a week later, its not worth ruining the environment. the last thing is if you bought all of these items from a higher rated art supplies store, it would be way more than forty dollars, so for kids using it just to destroy it seems unnecessary. i just feel its ab perspective.
I thought the clock was a really good idea and I really like how’s yours turned out. The box doesn’t seem to know it’s target audience though, it’s charging (kids!) so much for so little and the quality of the materials just doesn’t live up to the price. I bet you could buy everything separately for less.

I love how she doesn’t spend an *ETERNITY* on talking before the video about *other stuff* she cares about her subscribers!!! Thank you so so so much for caring so much!!!

@@LaynieFingers I don't know, I've had milkshakes or chocolate/strawberry/vanilla milk that came in cartons like that and didn't need refrigerated. And they used real milk. So it's quite possible.
@@LaynieFingers Mmmmmm Room temp, shelf stable up to 50 years, preserved in a paper box, "milk". Hmmmm if only we had something to go with it. Oh look! There's some chocolate cookies filled with hydrogenated oil , I mean frosting ,with a shelf life of forever. Perfect. Hahaha
So, if memory serves from when I used to work at Michael's (in New York, for New York prices) : the model magic looks like the same amount as in the normal retail package, which they sell for 5 dollars. So, that would be 25 dollars. The paints sold for 3 dollars each, so 12 dollars. Patterned cardstock was 50 cents, those crappy Crayola brushes were like 3 dollars for 2, so call it 1.50, and the wood blank, especially that thin, would be like 4 dollars, and the clockwork kits were like 6 dollars. That's around 50 dollars, but Noone who shops in Michael's more than casually does so without coupons and/or bumming the employee discount, so you'd never pay that much. Also, off hand, you could also go to the same store and spend 40 dollars on the following: a 5 pack of 16x20 canvases ($20), a 25 pack of assorted brushes ($5), a 5 set of assorted pallets ($5), and a 16 pack of assorted acrylic bottle paints ($8). Its why I always tended to just get customers to just buy normal art supplies when they wanted to get their kid stuff, but brand names sell.
I actually crunched the numbers when it came to the paints, model magic, clock, and even the milkshake drink. This box is legitimately a scam because it's not even close to a $50 value. It's valued at a grand total of $26.43. 5 Model Magic Packets - $5.13 4 Crayola Washable Paints - $4.23 1 Random Milkshake Drink - $.20 1 Crayola Paintbrush - $.37 1 Amazon Wooden Clock Face - $6.55 1 Amazon Clock Mechanism - $9.95 (at the highest)
Chloe: IM POPULAR SOMEONES CALLING ME *pause* Chloe: it was a wrong number Me: honestly what a mood Also the website says there aren’t any products available, will the bear painting be on it soon??
GIRLL... please tell me im not going mad and you have a SW English accent because... I live in Cornwall & I feel comfort listening to your voice hahah!
@@ChloeRoseArt ahhh no way, so coool! This was my first time ever seeing your channel thanks to recommendations & you just felt so familiar!! that aside, gutted for you and this box hahah! x
Chloe I just love you! I'm a self taught painter/crafter/jewelry maker and I always love learning new tips and art styles! Thanks for your videos, I love how positive you are and you always teach me something new! ❤️
Chloe, i think you should start opening art subscription boxes more often. i'd love to see your opinion on the monthly boxes and the art you'd create with the supplies provided. much love ❤️
Definitely not worth what they're asking for, I would see maybe 20 or 25 dollars. I feel like it's very kid oriented so for them to charge 40 dollars is a little silly. As far as the paint brushes they don't really have good quality brushes at all from what I can recall but I think they could do different levels for products. So they could do a lower price point for the cheaper supplies and maybe a little higher for their premium supplies.

Thank you for showing is your painting you did at the challenge.I saw the video(which you guys were strong out there) and we were only to see your finish look for a second and really wanted to see the details so thank you :) ot csme out incredible!You are also saving us money to really see the value of the boxes and see what its worth it.Youre the art hero 😁💜
😳 😒 *What **_crap-ola_** !! I'd stick that right back in the mail, return to sender, and request a refund. They're overcharging because of their brand name, and that's just wrong. (Plus, I'd **_love_** to know exactly where they got that "$50 value" estimate from! They must include the price of the box, packing materials, and hourly wage of the person who packaged it.) 😂 Lol... Srsly tho, tfs and taking one for the art team, so we don't happen to make the same mistake. Appreciate you!* ☺👍
Thanks for the video, I was looking forward to your opinion on this box when you said you were ordering it on Twitter. Seems like you can save yourself a ton and just buy the materials at the store yourself 💜
Your painting is beautiful!! Fun video! I always love to see you try new & different things because it is so very entertaining :) I do agree with your assessment of the Crayola box. I mean, kids would be excited to get it in the mail and all, but parents would know it's not a good value. What would be better is if parents created their own art & craft project boxes once a month for their kids to "unbox" and get creating. Busy moms and all that, so maybe just do it every other month. At least until a better option is developed.
Oh my goodness 😂😂 that intro!! I bought your print and I'm so excited as it is the first print I have ever bought!! 😂😁😁😁 thank you Chloe for inspiring me so much!! Also I think the link is broken so I just googled it and it comes up fine👍
Zach is such a sweetheart. He does so much for people! ♡. I think the paints looked like they're pretty decent! I gave my neices some of the glitter paint and I'm pretty happy I had!
I agree with you, they should work on the price point. Also that paintbrush ain't it😩 I hate when art companies provide these brushes which we don't end up using because of the quality! P.S. that stitch plushie in the bg is so cute 🧡
I think most of the money goes towards the name brand itself. The supplies do come out to be a cheaper price than $40, but it's all because it's a well known supply name and most likely because parents would think it's more on the cheaper side of subscription boxes and could keep the kid busy for a while. Although, I do have to admit that the box did teach a craft skill pretty well, despite the box being over priced and a little disappointing. It made paint pouring a learnable skill for an aspiring young artist with the pamphlet's visual and verbal instructions- covering two of the few learning types- and even showed them that crafting "with a budget" was possible. If the price could go down at some point then I'd totally buy this box for my younger cousin!
I'm the other way around, so I totally got her comment! (not offended at all, I mean) I'm consider myself a pretty good crafter, but I couldn't paint anything like that picture even if 10k was up for grabs. (I have no idea how I did so well in my art classes lol)
Hi Chloe, I saw that video where did that painting. It is a beautiful painting. I thought that it was so wrong for having you all standing in the pool for so many hours in the cold, then pour cold water on you too. But it did look like fun for most the part. As for this box, I would not get this for children, not for the price and the supplies that you get. Like you shown from Walmart that you can get the whole set of paint and clay for way less. Plus the clock supplies were so cheap, even the one side of the was so messed up. They have to lower their prices down to $25.00
that is way overpriced for what you are getting considering you could go to walmart or even a doller store and get a lot of craft supplies to keep kids entertained for a long time for that money
If you want to make a clock. Take an old vinyl record, sand it of with sand paper. Paint what you want on it. Get that clock mechanism and just insert it into the hole thats already dead centre on a record anyway. It actually a very fun project for teens/preteens. You need to measure exactly the 4 quarters. But other than that, you can go mad with your designs.
I haven't had any artboxes myself, but I've seen enough to know this falls... really flat, especially considering they're one of the biggest children's art supply companies in the US if not internationally. Things they can do: - Partner up with other companies to give the consumer extra supplies (any throw away cups, sponges and so on the kids might need). This will leave a good taste in your customer's mouths and want them to keep their subscriptions going. - Don't supply health food for snacks. I know this is for the sake of the parents. Don't do it, the kids won't be happy and more reasonable parents will be annoyed they got crap. Instead, consider more product samples. That was actually pretty neat, and you encourage them to buy the supplies they like outside the boxes. - If you can, send in higher quality or higher amounts of supplies. Your info book, packaging and shipping shouldn't count towards the value of the artbox. Ever. If you say the box has a value of fifty and your customers can go to walmart for cheaper, you're doing something wrong. - If you aren't willing to send your customers exactly what they need to mimic your projects, don't include the projects. Even kids can realize when they're getting ripped off. - Show off customer/Kid artwork. As a bigger brand, you have the ability to show engagement with your audience that smaller companies can only dream of. This will cement loyalty to your brand, encourage participation in kids and encourage subscriptions to keep coming. Overall, not a great box at all. Nothing was color coordinated (and, let's be real, they had EVERY chance to make it so), you couldn't just do the crafts right out the box, and when you were done, you were ultimately left with... not much freedom of expression at all or feeling like your work was drastically underwhelming in comparison to the examples given.
Aww my heart you were so excited for the call !!! Aww you seem like a lovely person Chloe! Even if it was a wrong number you were probably pleasant to talk to 😊
People need to realize while $50 is expensive, the cost of a product has to account for every single cost in developing or selling the product. The clay and plastic of the modeling magic clay thing may only cost 50 cents but think out how much it cost to pay the people making the product or the cost of operating the machine that produces it. Those are just a few out of the several cost for one of the many products in the box. You are also paying for the experience and experiences are valued differently at different age ranges
I agree the box was suck, but the clock stuff is a bit more. 9.99 is generally what the clock bits cost plus 5.99-7.99 for the wood. Still is not 50 bucks worth of stuff and the box sucks. Edit: I'm more crafty than artistic. I'm better at crafts than drawing or painting. I love resin pour painting and making geodes.
Exactly. I have bought a make your own wooden clock kit (just a little bit smaller than this one in the video) and it cost me £3.99 which included the wooden circle clock face as well as the clock mechanism.
