Question

Is one teaspoon of honey really enough?

Community Answer

It depends. Test it out with 2 to 3 lip balms, each with different amounts of honey. You may find that you actually need less than one teaspoon of honey!

Where can I buy those small shapes to put in the middle of the lip balm?

You can use mini cookie cutters, which you can find in the baking section of a craft store. You can also use mini polymer clay cutters, which you can find in the clay section of a craft store. You may also have some luck online.
