Handmade Lip Gloss

Every girly girl has some space in this blog, because this is for every kind of kid!

Yes, handmade lip gloss.
It's special, sparkly, and scrumptious (Those are the 3s.)

Bonus: This craft is very awesome for tween girls who are all about friendship!

After you master this, concoct some delicious flavors and get into business!

Rate:**

You need:

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. of beeswax (chopped into tiny cubes)
5 drops of essential oil (or any food-flavoring oil)
Microwave-safe plastic jar or glass jar
Plastic Spoon
6 empty mint tins/ lip gloss tubes
Sticker paper (or bond paper and paste)
Printed design (optional)

Pour the vegetable oil in the jar and add the beeswax.

Put the jar in the microwave, taking it out every 20 seconds for a minute. Use a timer for this.
Or just until the beeswax is melted.

Testing the gloss is important.

Dip the plastic spoon in the hot mix, and put it on some aluminum foil and put in the freezer to cool for 1 minute.

If it is too hard or you want it to be shinier, add a little bit more of vegetable oil to the mix, stir, and repeat testing progress.

Now add some of the essential oil in the base.

If you want to make the lip gloss sparkle, sprinkle a PINCH of fine-as-sand glitter, color of choice.

Pour the mixture in the mint tins (should be clean and dry) or lip gloss tubes.

Now design a label! This is the part where you truly get creative.

Suggestions:
1. You can print a picture of a flower and put sticker letters on.
2. Doodle up a nice picture and stick felt hearts on the corners.
3. Spread glitter glue, let dry, and write a word with another color glitter glue.
