Make your own Lip Gloss!

I have seen links to this particular tutorial on Pinterest countless times.  It's obviously a favorite, and so I want to share it with you! 
The blog that is linked to the "Pins" is Meet the Dubiens. Its a really fun blog to read through, she has some great tutorials, and awesome "bento box" lunches for young one's...check it out!

Kool-aid Lip Gloss
 
 What you'll need:

1 tub petroleum jelly (Vaseline)
1 pkg of kool-aid drink crystals - whatever flavour you want, or you can make a few
lip gloss containers (see my note below*)
labels printed out on sticker paper
scissors or 1 inch paper punch



 It looks so simple to do, and from all the comments on the blog, its obvious that the lip gloss tastes good too!  (BE SURE TO READ THE UPDATE REMARKS NEAR THE TOP OF THE POST-there are some great tips for making this even easier.)

AND JILL PROVIDES FREE PRINTABLE LABELS LIKE THE ONES SHOWN IN HER PHOTO'S!


*On her blog, Jill mentions that she bought her jars on Ebay, so I jumped over there, and by using the words "empty make up jars" in the search box, I found lots of different jars, like 50 -.17 oz. jars for $17.50  including shipping.  Get some friends together and split the purchase and cost! 
   Visit Jill over at her blog, and get all the information you need to make this fun project.  This would be a really fun thing to do at your daughters birthday party, or give as Valentine gifts.
