Easy Homemade Kool-Aid Lip Balm
If you are looking for a fun (and super affordable) DIY project that kids will love, this easy homemade Kool-Aid Lip Balm is so perfect and works great for parties, gifts or even a fun rainy day activity.
One of my favorite things about this easy DIY Kool-Aid lip balm is that it’s so inexpensive to make and there are so many different varieties of flavors and colors to choose from. My daughter loves to give these as gifts, in fact she is making these again this year for Valentine’s Day.
Yields: 4 (5 gram) lip gloss containers
SUPPLIES
1 microwave safe bowl
4 small bowls
4 wooden craft sticks
4 Lip Balm containers
1/3 cup Vaseline petroleum jelly, divided
Your favorite flavors of Kool-Aid – I used strawberry, black cherry, pink lemonade and grape.
Optional – granulated sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Add 1/3 cup Vaseline to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the petroleum jelly on high for 40-45 seconds or until soft and mostly melted. Stir.
2. Transfer the softened Vaseline to the four bowls, dividing the amount up evenly (about 1 Tablespoon each)
3. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite Kool-Aid powder into each bowl and stir with wooden craft stick or spoon. Optional – you can add a pinch of granulated sugar to each bowl if you want the balm to be sweetened.
4. Transfer each flavored lip balm mixture to an airtight container and use for up to 3 months.
5. ENJOY!!
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for a girls Valentine or birthday party!
