Last month, I started musing about "seasonal offerings" for my store. It's sometimes tricky to think of seasonally themed items, because a) I live in Arizona; it's already in the low 90's here, and b) I don't celebrate holidays, so I tend to forget when they are. But this time, I actually thought, "Oh, hey, Easter's coming up soon...what about a set of mini lip balms in jellybean flavors? Both spice jellybean and fruit jellybean?" It took a little time to get all the flavings and tubes, but Monday, I set about to make 10 sets of fruit jellybean lip balms and 10 sets of spice jellybean lip balms.
The first 3 flavors in the filling tray: Cherry, Grape, and Strawberry
Left: Cherry, Grape, and Strawberry, capped.
Right: Lime, Lemon, and Orange, capped
"Choose your side in the great Jellybean Debate: Fruit or Spice?"
It took about five hours to make all 120 tubes of lip balm. I'm selling the sets at $7 each;
Fruit Jellybean lip balms have Cherry, Grape, Strawberry, Lemon, Lime, and Orange.
Spice Jellybean lip balms have Cinnamon, Black Licorice, Peppermint, Ginger, Spearmint, and Clove. They're packaged in a 4"x6" zip bag; a multicolored card has the balm ingredient list.
