Etsy Labs: How to Make Lip Balm

Speaking of the recession, maybe now's the time to think about investing in lip balm. It's cheap to make and you can sell the excess if you brand it well enough.

That's where Etsy, my favorite DIY marketplace, comes in. Etsy Labs published an excellent step-by-step how-to (a year and a half ago...we like to be fashionably late) with great pictures and resource lists (also check out therapygarden.com for supplies).

Take a look at their many other posts on how to do everything from make boxes from recycled paper to make simple jewelry. Also sign up for their fun-looking classes in Brooklyn. Which reminds me- why haven't I gone to their weekly Craft Night yet?!
