DIY Flower EOS

I have found the most beautiful lip balm DIY: it is a flower jelly EOS lipstick. This does not take long to make and it is soo beautiful! It will be hard for anyone to believe that you made it yourself!

You'll need a clean EOS container, transparent art gelatin, citric acid, sugar, water, Vaseline and a fake flower. This requires a stove to heat the mixture, as well as a spoon to mix and any little knife.

Instructions -

* Put three table spoons of gelatin and 1 cup of cold water in a bowl.
* Mix and let it sit for ten minutes.(It should have a thick texture)
* Set that aside.
* Mix 2 cups of sugar, three cups of water, 1 teaspoon citric acid in a pot and heat on medium.
* When everything is dissolved and steam is coming from the pot, take it off of the heat.
* Add gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
* Let mixture cool.
* Use a knife to pop the crate off the EOS container. (Watch video below to see exactly how to do this.)
* Prep the lid of the EOS container with oil or Vaseline.
* Place the top part of the EOS container on top of the bottom half and slowly start pouring some of the mixture into it.
* Place the flower in the container and continue to SLOWLY add the mixture.
* Screw crate back on once the mixture is almost at the top of the container.
* Pour the rest of the gelatin to fill it.
* Put the EOS containers in the fridge until solid. (Preferably for a couple of hours.)
* Pop crate on and you have your jelly lip balm! :)
