Hey There!
I was perusing Pinterest, in a somewhat crafty mood. I saw a video that looked very interesting – an old EOS lip balm turned to candy! I showed my Dad and we got right to work! 😉
I have a bunch of EOS lip balms, but I’ve noticed some of the older ones start to go bad… the scent on mine got too sweet, with a strange stinky after-scent. Yuck! I followed The Tutorial * and scraped out the old lip balm. My Dad helped me melt some Jolly Ranchers and pour them into the EOS mold. It worked out really well! Tip: For melting the candy, use a bowl that is microwave safe and disposable. We used a small glass bowl, which worked fine – until the cleaning. The candy hardened, which made it extremely hard to get off the bowl. For stirring the melted candy, try using a toothpick… after all, you can’t put a metal spoon in the microwave to melt the candy again! 😛
Overall, this project was a success. Sometimes the lid to the EOS will stick to the candy, but it isn’t too hard to pop back into place. It is somewhat like a Ring Pop with a lid that you can take with you places! If you have a sweet tooth and an old EOS, I suggest trying out this project for yourself! 😉
* The tutorial has other candy crafts included in the video, so you can skip ahead to the project you want.
