Lip Balm Recipe and Tutorial

After all of the problems with blogger last week I am back this week and bringing you a fun craft and activity idea for a little girl's birthday party, sleepover, or spa party. What would be more fun than making your very own lip balm?! It's easy and a great idea for a party favor! Who knows, you might even enjoy it too! ;)

Lip Balm Recipe

Ingredients:

3 teaspoons grated unbleached beeswax

5 teaspoons carrier oil (sunflower, castor, or jojoba)

6 or 7 drops essential oil

1 teaspoon honey, for flavor

Instructions:

1. Melt the beeswax and carrier oil together in the top of a double boiler, stirring to combine. Remove from heat; add honey and essential oil. Mix thoroughly so the honey does not clump.

2. To add a little color, stir in a tiny dab of lipstick with a coffee stirrer. Pour the mixture into containers; let sit 20 minutes before covering or moving. For glossier lip balm, use 2 teaspoons wax and 8 teaspoons carrier oil.
