Lip Balm Key Chain Holder

Recently when I was checking out some of the links on

Jennie’s weekly link up party on her blog “Craft O Maniac”.

I came across a blog post with a super clever tutorial to make

your own chapstick holder key fob {fancy word for keychain}.

This DIY tutorial can be found here on Victoria’s blog Vixen Made.

You must link on over and check it out. ;o)

I can’t tell you how many times I have found myself digging

in the bottom of my purse to find my lip balm.

Well, no more of that craziness.

I followed the super simple instructions with photos

that Victoria posted and made

six new adorable lip balm holders.

Great Post, Girl!

I was so lucky to find all the materials that I needed

right in my craft/sewing/office space.

I was super pumped about this project because

my youngest daughter Destiny

{some of you already know}

makes natural lip balm.

Perfect timing, with school ending in just a few short weeks.

I popped a few of her lip balms into the new holders.

Hooray, they were the perfect addition to

Destiny’s teacher’s gift bags of goodies.

Here are some photos of our new lip balm key chain holders.
