Make a Lip Balm Container with Bottle Caps
Nowadays, everyone is crazy about making lip balms and gloss, but most people forget the container. Fortunately, there are some solutions. This article will teach you how to make your own lip balm container.
Steps
- Observe that there is always an inner circle of plastic in bottle caps. You will use this later.
- Measure the circumference of your caps with a string.
- Cut a strip of cardboard that's equal to the cap's circumference (about 1.5 cm or 2cm wide).
- Push it inside the inner circle (the space between the outer cap's walls and the inner circle).
- Make it fit snugly.
- Glue it inside.
- Place the second cap on the first cap with the help of the cardboard strip which is sticking out.
- Paint them with acrylic paint or decorate them with sequins and stickers.
- Voila! Just add your homemade lip balm in it.
Tips
- Use identical caps. Different-sized caps won't work.
- Don't paint the inside.
- After painting or decorating, coat with a layer of clear nail polish.
- To make the container more secure, you can use super glue.
- If the cardboard strip is not working to hold the lid, try make strips of glue and let it dry. You can also try winding a wire with some distance.
Things You'll Need
- Two identical plastic bottle caps
- Cardboard (corrugated won't work)
- Glue stick or glue or hot glue gun
- Scissor
- Ruler
- Pen
- Acrylic paints (optional)
- Decorative items (optional)
