I'm so glad you enjoyed it Beth ☺️

I was thinking that this project would make great gifts for school children of all ages. A new chapstick in a fabric (washable) chapstick holder (that can be clipped to their jeans or backpack would) be a wonderful gift to anyone (no mater their age or gender). Thank you for the wonderful idea, pattern, and instructional video. One of these holders could come in very handy for my eye drops also.

Hi Christine, thanks for the tutorial for the chap stick holder. As you say, it's a great stash buster! I will certainly be trying to sew some of these for small gifts.

Oh Christine, you have done it again. These paired with the tissue pouches, or card holder, and even the doggie poo pouches (to keep your lips moisturized on your walk) and the water bottle cover (the possibilities are coming faster than I can type, lol, make wonderful gift sets. You just keep them coming and we love it. Thank you and I hope you are recovering well as I know your brain is still working in overdrive with projects you want to try. Take care.

Glad it was helpful Nancy. Thank you😁

I love the process of making these and amazing how clever to do these in an assembly line. When I finished one to see how the finished product was, the opening was wide enough for my lipstick. The lip balm/chapstick holder was smaller in length and circumference but with a minor adjustment in the width and length of the fabric, I can make a lip balm holder that fits the item snug. I appreciate your videos always and I know that you show a time saving way to make large batches. So as I use my gift of gab, thank you again.

I have made this style before. At 2.5" Chapstick brand lip balm will be a bit loose. If i remeber right I cut mine at 2.25 or 2". I also made them a bit longer and brought the front almost to the top so I could put a cam snap over the top of the lip balm. For this you will leave the top 1/2-3/4" of the front unstitched so the snap is easier to install and so that it is easier to get the lip balm in/out. I hope that makes sense!
