How to make Homemade Lip Gloss with Kool Aid

01/25/14 | How To, Kids Crafts and Coloring

Kool Aid Lip Gloss

I am an Activity Days Leader for my church.  Which means I do a bi-weekly activity for girls ages 8-11 to get together, learn something new and learn about the gospel.  They have a fun little book that they mark off when they’ve accomplished something.  They are recognized for their accomplishments when they turn 12.

This week we were talking about “Gossiping”.  I HATE gossip.  I’ve tried to teach my children that “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.  Thumpers mom was brilliant.  Of course it’s impossible to stay away from gossip in this modern world of social media.  People get more brave about the things they will type about someone, versus actually saying it out loud.  It’s at these moments when we need to stop, listen to the words in our head, ask ourselves if they will help or hurt, then make the right decision.  We need to ask ourselves, “Does this really need to be said?”  and if the answer is “No” then just keep your mouth and typing fingers shut.

We read the girls this story about Heather and how she accidentally gossiped about a friends sister and what she did to make it better.  Then we helped the girls make this lip gloss and I printed these fun bookmarks for the girls to remember to keep their words kind.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the lip gloss:
-1 container Vaseline
-2 Kool Aid Packets (I used watermelon/cherry)
-Microwaveable bowl
-Spoon to stir
-Containers for the lip gloss
I found my containers at Wal-Mart in the health and beauty travel section
They were 2 for $0.97
Empty the Vaseline into the bowl.  Start microwaving 30 seconds at a time, taking it out and stiring it in between each interval, until it reaches a liquid state.  It will still be a white color.  This took me about 5 minutes total.
WAIT UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS ROOM TEMPERATURE AGAIN.  This doesn’t take very long at all.  The bowl will still be hot, but the vaseline is not.  Stir in the Kool Aid until blended well, then spoon into your containers.  It will harden after about an hour.

    I love this idea! I have a large group of girls in our ward, even after the recent split I have about 15 (down from 27)! Thanks for the help.

      There is no sugar in the kool aid packets, and I bought the large tub of vaseline.

      I looks like they are not available on that web site anymore. But you can click on the image of the book marks to open it in a new window. Then you can right click and choose “save image as” then it will download to your computer and you can print it.
