The short version
- They advertise with other people’s videos. They pull footage from creators across TikTok and Instagram and run it as advertising for their kits. Two of those videos are mine, posted 7 May and 20 May; theirs went up six days and a month later, and I have filed copyright claims with Meta and TikTok. Mine are the two I can prove — reverse image search the rest of their posts and see who else is in there. Dates and screenshots ↓
- What they post is not what you get. That is what the borrowed footage is for. The adverts show hundreds of graded beads on long trailing strands — somebody else’s finished handmade work. Their own product video shows about fifty chunky beads in one flat green. The kit is smaller than the advert, and the advert was never theirs. Side by side ↓
- Nobody can tell you where they really are. They publish four different locations: Colorado, China, China again, and a New York geotag on a video filmed in my house in California. All four ↓
- They dropship from China. Their shipping policy says it: “our fulfillment location in China”, 10–19 business days, and the duty is yours. Their own words ↓
The first one
I posted this on 7 May. It is my window, my hand, my piece — the propagation jar and the philodendron are on my sill. It did five million views.
The same footage appeared on Bobble Sprig on 13 May, six days later, captioned “A tinny plant that never wilts” with #diysuncatcher and a shopping link. It is tagged with a New York location. I never licensed it to them and nobody ever asked me.
Then they did it again
I posted the window shot on 20 May. Three and a half million views. It is the same window, and it is the video currently running on the front page of this site.
It appeared on their account on 19 June, captioned “Make a plant never be killed” with #diykit. Once is something a person could argue about. Twice is how the shop is run.
What is actually in the box
This matters more than the copyright, because this is the part that costs somebody else money. Their own videos, posted 30 May, show what they sell: a small basket with roughly fifty chunky beads in a single flat green.
The footage they advertised with — mine — is a piece with hundreds of beads in a graded ombré on long trailing strands. Those are not the same object and they are not close. Anyone who bought a kit because of that advert bought it on a picture of something they were never going to receive.
Four locations, one company
Two of these come from their own website, one from Instagram, and one from the post that used my video.
- Their terms of service give a US address: “920 Racine St, Aurora, CO 80011”, operated by OHENGES ENTERPRISE INC.
- Their shipping policy says orders are “prepared and shipped from our fulfillment location in China”, arriving in 10–19 business days.
- Instagram reports the account as based in China, joined May 2026, running active ads. That is the platform’s own disclosure panel, not my research.
- The post using my video is geotagged New York — over footage shot in my window in California.
I do not know where this company is, and I do not think you can work it out from anything they have published. I can tell you what each document is for. The Colorado address is a registration. The China line is where your parcel comes from. The New York tag is not a filing error — somebody sat down, opened my video, and typed the name of a city over a room in California they have never stood in.
They took the footage, then they took a city, and neither one was theirs to take.
They are a China dropshipper. Their own shipping policy says it: orders leave “our fulfillment location in China” and take 10–19 business days, and the duty is yours. Their policy quoted in full, next to mine.
What I have done about it
I filed copyright claims with Meta and TikTok. I am the author of both videos. I did not license them to anyone, and nobody from that company ever contacted me.
Buying stock in and reselling it is a business, and the honest ones say so on the listing. That is not what happened here. Taking somebody else’s five-million-view video of handmade work, putting a buy button under it, and posting out a fifty-bead basket to whoever believed it is a different act entirely. I do not know what to call that except a scam, and I am not going to use a softer word for it on my own website.
Every date and every screenshot is up here so you do not have to take my word for it. Check it and reach your own conclusion. It will be the same one I reached.
How to check this yourself
Do not take my word for any of it. Reverse image search their product videos, open the “About this account” panel, and read the shipping policy instead of the contact page. It takes a minute and it works on any shop, including mine. The full method is here.
