*More ART Ideas! Maybe it's just me, but I think foreigners are so much more creative than we are! It's like there minds are more open or something. Not putting down anyone at all, but it just seems like they come up with so many DIFFERENT ideas. OR they come up with something that you've seen 100 times but it's just twice as awesome when they do it! hm, maybe it's just me. Anyhow, here's another cool art idea:

Tag Wallet Tutorial


Unique looking and kind of fun! Not sure I'd ever use it that much though because I have a bigger wallet and it gets overflowed alot!

*Lip Balm! Plus they have printable tags for the containers you put them in. Very smart martha! I don't think the links copied over so the source is on the above link!:) Sorry about the huge gap!


Lip BalmsLip Balms
Spa-inspired presents, including these handmade lip balms, can be created from basic kitchen ingredients and craft materials.
To make more than one kind of lip balm at a time, divide the recipe in half and scent and color the batches separately. For lip balms, we like to use essential oils that have an "edible" scent, such as citrus. Beeswax pellets are available at crafts stores.
Makes two .15-ounce tubes and two 1/2-ounce tins or pots
Tools and Materials
1 tablespoon beeswax pellets
2 tablespoons carrier oil
A few drops essential oil(s)
Lipstick shavings in desired color
Special equipment: heatproof glass jar, plastic pipettes, cosmetic-style plastic tubes, slide tins, or metal pots
Directions
1. Put beeswax and carrier oil in jar, and close lid. Heat the jar in a pot of water over medium-low heat until wax has melted. Remove jar from pot carefully.
2. Stir mixture with a metal spoon. Using a pipette, add essential oil, 1 drop at a time, until strength of scent is to your liking. Stir in lipstick shavings, 1 at a time, until desired shade is achieved and color is even throughout.
3. Using another pipette, transfer lip balm to containers. Let set for 1 hour.

Gift-Packaging Idea
Top cosmetic tubes and tins with custom labels: Water-slide decal paper is clear, making the design look as though it has been printed directly onto the container.

Label How-To
Always fill containers before labeling them. Download clip-art labels, above, and print with an ink-jet printer onto water-slide decal paper. Spray with clear-coat varnish, and let dry. Cut out each label. Transfer to a bowl of water; soak until decals start to separate from paper backings, about 1 minute. Slide decals from papers and onto clean containers. Blot excess water with a paper towel. Let dry for 2 hours.
