Babysitting for a bunch of little girls? They’ll love this craft idea because they can create a lip glass in their fave flavor.

Things You’ll Need:
 

-1 tsp of honey

-1 tbsp Vegetable Shortening
-Dry drink mix (Kool Aid works really well and gives your lips a slight red tint)
-1/4 cup of hot water
-new lip gloss containers (you can find them at Michael’s or other craft stores otherwise use cleaned out old lip gloss containers)

 

What You'll Do:
 

1. Mix honey and vegetable shortening into a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix drink mix and hot water.
3. Drip the drink mix and water into other bowl until the color and flavor is how you want them.
4. Pour into the new containers.
5. Place in refrigerator for an hour or until lip gloss is solid.

MOD! What is vegtable shortening? And is there an alternative for that in this recipe? PLEASE ANSWER! Thanks Mod!




Hey girl, vegetable shortening is a cooking ingredient. You can substitute it with butter.

This reminds me of a time.... Well, I was visiting my sister once and there's this little girl who lives with her and we were opening Christmas presents. Then she tried some of my lip gloss I got, and she put like five glossy layers on. The adults were like, "that's too much!"

LOL. It was so cute though. She was like 4-5.

Cool Recipe!
1) Get waffle pretzles or regular pretzles, m&m's, and hershey kisses @ the store.
2) Place as many pretzles on a cookie tray as you want.
3)Unwrap the same # of hershey kisses as pretzles and place one hershey kiss on top of each pretzle.
4) Put them in the oven (set 2 the default, normally 350 degrees F) for 20-25 seconds or until the hershey kisses are melty enough to hold their shape but can have something pressed in2 them.
5) Press an m&m in2 the top of each hershey kiss, let them cool until the hershey kisses are hard again.
VIOLA! They are ready 2 eat!

This is cool if I sit for older girls. I'm still pretty young so I may not get anyone older.
