Personalized Lip Balm
Never misplace your lip balm at the waterfront again! Simply decorate it with lanyard, metallic thread, and micro beads!
Materials:
- Your favorite sunscreen for lips
- Treasure Tape 4" x 6" sheet
- Kreinik #12 Braid in your choice of colors (we used 092 pink)
- Lanyard
- Letter beads to spell your name
- Diamond Beadlets®
- Shallow pan or tray
Steps:
- Start by cutting 4x6 sheet to fit around the top and the base of the lip balm.
- Peel back red protective liner on base and wrap metallic thread around until the whole piece is covered.
- Next peel off the liner from the top. Bead your name or initials on lanyard and wrap it around the top, pressing it into the tape for an instant bond.
- Dip into Diamond Beadlets to fill in where sticky tape is still exposed.
Tips: When applying "stringy embellishments" like ribbon, embroidery threads and fibers to double-sided Treasure Tape, you can easily pull up the design and start again if you make a mistake or want to try a different design. When using red liner Treasure Tape it is best to cut with Teflon® coated scissors -- or use adhesive remover to wipe the residue off your scissors.
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.
