Of everything that could drive you crazy about being a mom, it’s always the little things that seem to be the worst, right? For me, it’s the kiddos messing up my lip balm. I don’t mind them using it if they ask and then hand it back to me to close when they’re done. Of course, that’s not how it goes most of the time.

My kids are constantly getting into my lip balm in my purse. I get super annoyed grabbing my Burt’s Bees and finding it messy and destroyed because little hands got to it. Part of the problem is they don’t twist the balm back down after they use it. Instead, they smash the lid back on and slip it into my bag.

These candy flavored homemade lip glosses are stored in small lidded pots instead of twist tubes. That makes them more kid friendly plus the containers are reusable. No more destroyed lip balm in your purse. Let your kiddos have their own lip gloss and leave yours alone.

Candy Flavored Lip Gloss Materials

Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly
Shimmery Cosmetic Grade Mice Powder
Candy Flavor Oil (I used Root Beer and Watermelon.)
Wooden Popsicle Sticks
Small Containers for Mixing
Small Lidded Containers

Step 1

First, add a small amount of cocoa butter petroleum jelly into 1 container per flavor you are making.

Step 2

Next, add some cosmetic grade mica powder on top of the petroleum jelly.

Note:

I chose to use different colors for the different flavors. This is completely optional. You can use 1 color for all of the flavors although the candy flavor oil may change the color when mixed in.

Step 3

Stir your mica powder into the petroleum jelly with a wooden popsicle stick until it is well combined.

Step 4

Add in 5-10 drops of your candy flavoring oil after your mica powder is mixed into your petroleum jelly. Then mix the oil into your lip gloss thoroughly.

Step 5

Lastly, after you’ve mixed your lip gloss, scoop them into the small lidded containers.

Step 6 (Optional)

Top your container lids with stickers or cabochons to label the flavors.

Is it really kid-friendly if it’s not delicious? Um, no. This candy flavored homemade lip gloss recipe has it all. It moisturizes dry lips and has a hint of shimmer. It smells and tastes delicious plus it’s stored in a totally kid-friendly container too! These make great party favors, stocking stuffers, or basket stuffers for kids because you can whip up a large batch in no time at all.

Easter with my in-laws is a large, casual affair. When we eat, it’s buffet style and you find a seat where you can. It’s nice but it can be equally nice to have a properly set table with a family style meal. My family is much smaller so we can all fit at one table during the holidays.

The really great part is that I get the best of both worlds. These Easter napkin rings are great for my smaller family gathering. They’re exactly what you need to dress up your Easter table too. Don’t worry, though. They are super easy to make, not-to-mention fast.

Easter Napkin Rings Materials

Shower Curtain Rings
Craft Ribbon
Roll of 5.5” Wide Burlap
Small Styrofoam Glitter Eggs (I found mine at the Dollar Tree)
Small Flowers & Leaves (again, you can get these at the Dollar Tree if you don’t have some already)
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Step 1

First, cut a length of craft ribbon that is 16-24 inches depending on the width of your ribbon. (The thinner your ribbon, the longer the length needs to be.)

Step 2

Next, place a small dot of hot glue on the inside of your shower ring at the place where it snaps closed.

Step 3

Now press the end of your length of ribbon into the glue and begin wrapping the ribbon around the shower curtain ring.

Step 4

Continue wrapping the ribbon until the entire shower ring is covered, then secure the end using hot glue. Trim off any excess ribbon and set to the side.

Step 5

Repeat steps 1-4 until your have the desired number of shower rings that you need covered.

Tips:

My spool of craft ribbon was enough to cover four shower rings. If you need a larger set of Easter napkin rings, you need more than one spool of ribbon.
To prevent ribbon waste and save more money, use the excess ribbon that you trimmed off on the other rings. When you get to the end of the length, simply glue the loose end down and begin adding more ribbon the same way you do in step 2.

Step 6

Next, cut a piece of burlap that is 5” long from your roll.

Step 7

Now, fold the unfinished sides to the middle and secure with hot glue.

Note:

You want to start with the unfinished edges so that your burlap doesn’t fray with use.

Step 8

Next, fold the finished sides to the middle and, again, secure with hot glue.

Step 9

Then, flip your burlap piece over so that the glued edges are on the bottom and glue 2 glittered eggs to it as pictured.

Step 10

Next, glue one of your leaves to the burlap so that the stem rests between the 2 eggs. (See the picture above step 9 for reference.)

Step 11

Lastly, attach a small flower to your burlap with hot glue.

Step 12

Again, repeat steps 6-11 until you have the number of burlap adornments needed to match your wrapped rings.

Step 13

Finish by gluing all of your burlap adornments to your rings.

These easy upcycled Easter napkin rings will have your place settings holiday ready in no time. Simply place your napkins through your napkin rings and set the table! You’ll feel good saving money while still having an elegant table for guests. Not to mention, it totally gives you an excuse to get crafty this week. Totally a win-win!
