DIY | Perfume Locket. Today I have an exciting new feature we are rolling out on Glamour and Grace! I have asked my good friend Sarah Montes, illustrator and crafter extraordinaire, to come and share a fabulous new DIY idea each month! This month she is sharing something really unique that I know you all will love! I will let Sarah take it away! Greetings Glamour and Grace readers! I’m so excited to being doing today’s DIY post! Materials (will make 5-7 lockets, depending on size): 2 tbsp Beeswax2 tbsp Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, or Jojoba OilEssential oils (Some great scents are Jasmine, Lavender, Vanilla, Ylang ylang, Citrus, etc. Making the perfume Step 1: Using a cutting board and a knife (preferably items that you don’t mind getting waxy) cut one of the beeswax blocks into shavings. Step 2: Once the beeswax is in thin shavings, put it into the jar with the olive oil.

Step 3: Use the skewer or straw to stir and help break up the beeswax until it is smooth. Suggested Jewelry Materials: Share: All Natural Lip Balm. The week leading up to the new year wasn't exactly how I had pictured it. It was the last week of the boys winter break. I had envisioned walks around downtown looking at the lights, taking down the Christmas tree together, continuing our holiday baking marathon and maybe even a little post Christmas mall browsing. But alas, none of those things happened. The flu happened. Or rather, what I guess must have been the flu. Thankfully, I had made a big batch of lip balm the week before Christmas to give as little handmade gifts to my girlfriends. This recipe is super simple. The recipe came from this blog last year and I tweaked it a bit and she grabbed it from this book where she had tweaked it a bit.
