  • Welcome to Day 3 of 12 Days of Last Minute DIY Gifts! In this sewing tutorial I teach you how to make a super quick and beginner friendly lip balm cozy. You only need two small pieces of two different fabrics and some lightweight fusible interfacing for the body. The closure is up to you! I use plastic snaps but you can also use hook & loop tape, metal snaps or magnetic snaps.
    Find more info on supplies and other projects in the blog post here: craftygemini.com/2017/12/12-da...
    Here is a list of the supplies I used in this project and my affiliate links on where you can purchase them:

    omg....I love it. I am a beginner in sewing and I am so proud of saying I have so far made skirts, burping cloths, baby blankets, stuffed elephant and whale, pacifier holder with clip, baby hat and want to keep learning thanks to tutorials like this one. Oh I also learned how to use a sewing machine with youtube. So once again, thank you so much.

    FABULOUS. Perfect in every way. Quick and easy. LOVE IT! Add a loop, or an eyelet to hang it on something and what a fabulous idea. Thank you.

    I just LOVE your tutorials! I have been sewing a long time and never thought of using my pinking shears to cut around the curved edges. What a brilliant idea! Can't believe I never thought of doing that as I am always looking for short cuts. Thank you Vanessa.

    Hi! I’ve made larger versions of the lip balm case for tins of lip balm and also for tissues. I am currently making lots of them for staff on our local respiratory ward as a thank you for their hard work at this difficult time. Thank you for your brilliant, easy to follow tutorials. Janet UK

    April 2019...I’m learning a lot from watching your videos. I’ve made myself an ironing board, after watching the video. For the wood bit, I had a small box shelf, it was ideal. I used an ironing mat, that I bought cos I thought it would be better. But it wasn’t. So I folded it in half, and stapled it to my box, then covered it with a pillow case, to match the curtains and duvet cover in the spare room/ my sewing room. It works perfectly well. I’m very pleased with it. Thank you!
    Now, I’m making the lip balm case. I’ve already made a glasses case, a drawstring bag, and a bookmark...all in the same fabrics. They are for my sisters birthday, next week.

    Hi Vanessa, thank you for this great tutorial! I don't know if you still look here, but I had been wanting to replace my old, old, old, lipstick holder which had a really pretty silky Chinese design fabric, a little mirror on the inside of the flap, and it snaps close. I'm going to rip the little rectangular mirror from the old case, and glue it to my inside flap, so I can always apply my lipstick, no matter where I am. They still sell the Chinese ones on amazon, but people complain that they come with a really nasty odor. yuck! You just gave me a quick and fun alternative!!! I'm going to make more as gifts, although they won't have the mirror (which by the way measures 3" x 3/4").

    I have some similar sized pouches I've made, but without the snap flap closure, and I wasn't sure what to do with them in terms of telling folks how they can be used. I did think a mini manicure kit (mini Emery board and nail clippers) could work but didn't try the small lotion tube. Thanks for the idea!
