Hello Make It And Love It readers! It’s Emma from Crafting{E} again. I hope everyone is having an amazing summer. I love summer because I have a lot more free time than I do during the school year when I’m in school. One of the things I use my extra free time for is “craft days” with my sisters.
We started this tradition a couple of years ago, and we have been doing it since. This entails me finding a cheap and easy craft to make with my little sisters and then making the craft with them once a week. It has become one of our favorite traditions together and they are always asking if it is “craft day” yet.
A couple of weeks ago we decided to try our hand at making some homemade lip balm. Now I wasn’t expecting anything amazing (just because the recipe is so basic), but it is amazing!
My sisters and I made tons of these little lip balms and they use them all the time. The other great thing is that it doesn’t cost very much to make these, that way it’s not as big of a deal when little ones lose the lip balm.
Also, aren’t these containers amazing? I had never used Chapstick containers like these before and I was a little skeptical how well they would work. Good news though, they worked great! (I found them HERE.)
Also we decided to make these little labels to go around the lip balm as well. I designed the labels and printed them on adhesive paper. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: these labels are available for download at the end of this post! Don’t they add such a fun touch?
So, onto the tutorial. This lip balm is very easy to make, it only requires a few ingredients.
MATERIALS:
*One batch will make 3-4 tubes (depending on the size of your container)*
