chapsticks
i hate when my chapsticks run low and you can't get the rest out so i decided to take them out melt them down and put them back in the tubes now if i only had awesome packaging

you can always add vasoline if the color is to strong

You can use a microwave, stove or candle but to be quick you can use a microwave.
Heat it up for about two minutes and then mix well. If it is not runny melt again for two minutes. You can mix and experiment with colors. You can use honey, Vaseline, eos eggs any kinds. Anymore questions? Give me a message.
