My wife was having trouble opening the lid of her lip balm. The solution; a handle for lip balm.
The Handle

I found an old wooden drawer handle that wasn't being used.

I punched a small hole through the top of the lid, inserted the screw and attached the lid to the bottom of the handle.
Lip Balm With Wooden Handle

With the heavy wooden handle, the lip balm kept falling over and rolling off the table. The solution; build a stand.
Building a Stand

I cut off a one inch piece of an old wooden 2 1/4 inch diameter bed frame leg and drilled an 11/16 inch hole 3/4 inch deep.

The lip balm is now easier to find, easier to open and a nice conversation piece.
