Crayola Crayon Lipbalm Tutorial

Crayola Crayon Lipbalm is so quick and easy to make! 

'All you need'

All you need is; 
-Coconut Oil (I got mine from a health food shop but discovered its actually way cheaper from a supermarket!) 
-Vaseline (any petroleum jelly will do though!) 
-Crayola Crayons in your choice of colour/s 
-A pan for boiling water
 -A small glass jar or small metal pots (I got some metal sauce pots from the pound shop) for melting and mixing

 Don't be worried about smearing crayons on your lips- Crayola is non-toxic and have been ensuring their crayons are safe since starting to make crayons in 1903! All Crayola products have been evaluated by an independent toxicologist and found to contain no known toxic substances in sufficient quantities to be harmful to the human body, even if ingested or inhaled. You may find you are allergic or sensitive to the crayons but this is highly unlikely! 

So...lets get making lipbalm!!

 Firstly, you need to decide what colour you want to make your balm and then peel away the paper cover from the crayons
