This is a fun way to make something helpful! Lip balm is an everyday thing that people use. The lip balm can even be a gift for the holidays!

2 tbsp. of coconut oil
a few drops of vitamin E oil
1 pinch of sparkles
glass measuring cup
spoons
microwave

Helpful Hints/ Tips

Tips:
-Use a small grater for your beeswax because it can easily get stuck in the grater holes.
-You can use any small measurment (amount) to use to put the lip balm in the containers, but a tablespoon is usually how much can fit in one container.
-Using a glass measuring cup is important because it won't melt in the microwave.
-You can use any amount of sparkles depending on your liking. One pinch or so should be enough though.
