We're putting on our crafting shoes and mixing up some blush-hued lip balm more than perfect for bridesmaid gifting or rockin' at your bachelorette party.  Helping us every step of the way?  Avery, the label, tags and more making geniuses that know a thing or two about creating DIY greatness with an entire menu of fab products to help you get your craft on.  Just take a look at the kissable results below.

• Avery 1” Round Labels


• Clear Round Containers (each batch makes enough to fill about 16 containers)


• Striped Washi Tape


• 1 Tbs White Beeswax Pellets


• 3 Tbs Shea Butter


• 4 Tbs Coconut Oil


• Flavoring Oil


• Mineral Powder (like blush) For Coloring


• Kiss Label Template

Mix the beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. We used a glass measuring cup because it was easier to pour later.

After blended, heat in the microwave for 1 minute. If you’re doing different colors, separate your mixture into different bowls.

Add in a few drops of flavoring and scrape in some mineral powder, then mix thoroughly. The mineral powder has a tendency to sink to the bottom so make sure it is very well mixed.

Pour into each container then pop in the fridge for an hour or two.

While the lip balm is cooling, print out the kiss labels onto label paper. Put a label on each container lid.

Pop the lids on each balm and tape around the rim with striped washi tape.
