by weight of lip balm. If your lip balm solidifies while you’re filling
your containers, simply reheat the lip balm and continue until all the
pots are filled. Tightly screw on the lip balm caps and wait for the lip
balms to solidify. It won’t take long, but you can expedite the process
by placing the lip balms in the refrigerator until they have hardened.
Once your lip balms have hardened,
have fun with the containers! I decorated mine with Japanese Washi Tape.
It makes for a super cute lip balm pot without a lot of effort. I’m a
little smitten with some of the Washi Tapes available from Cute Tape.
