Can you use slabs of beeswax from craftstores for lip balm?
The beeswax I'm talking about is beside the regular candle wax. They have white and the "natural" color.
I just made some I got from a kit. it was white beeswax pellets.
I got the kit from JoAnn fabrics and craft.
If I can't use it, where can I get some that is safe to use for lip balm.
It sounds like your question has more to do with the purity of the beeswax from the Craft Store, rather than the feasibility of using beeswax in Lip Balm. (Lip Balm can be made from Beeswax of course.)
If you are making the Lip Balm for your own use, then I would say that you can give it a try and see how well it works. If you are starting a cottage industry making Lip Balm variations, then I'd recommend that you seek a supplier high quality, pure Beeswax.
Beeswax, like other waxes, is often blended with other types of wax. HiveHarvest.com is one supplier online who is selling 100% Beeswax, though there are certainly others. Buying it in 1lb or larger quantities is the most economical route.
Enhance Your Garden With Garden Paving Slabs
Garden paving slabs can add a special touch to your yard or garden and have many different uses. These can be done by professionals or you can make it into a do it yourself project; the latter may take up quiet a bit of time and work.
These make for wonderful boarders for flower beds and held distinguish the flower bed lines. This means there is less chance of mowing down flowers you have spent a lot of time working on simply because they were not seen in time. Used as boarders they also give people a clear view of where your flower bed starts and prevents them from walking on your flowers.
Garden paving slabs can also be used to make walkways. Used as walkways, you and your guests can go into the garden and not track dirt back into your home. It also prevents having to walk in mud if it has been raining recently. These slabs are also very attractive when done correctly and add wonderful detail to your home garden.
To do this yourself you have two options. One is to set the forms and actually pour the concrete yourself. The other is to buy premade slabs. If you are going to do this yourself I would highly recommend the premade slabs.
If you pour the concrete then you will need to set forms and measure plus get the right consistency for the concrete itself. All of this is a lot of very hard work and takes time and is very hard to undo if you don't like the results.
They have very nice premade slabs and these are fairly easy to install yourself. These come in different colors, textures, shapes, and sizes. What ever you are looking for you can find it in premade slabs and it will make you life a lot easier. You can either dig each spot you want to place a slab in our just lay them on top of the ground and let the settle naturally.
You can also use these to create a patio for you garden area. One garden I saw had a small patio as the center point with flower beds lined with garden slabs as accents and around the edges. You can create virtually any look you want with these for your yard or garden.
A professional job will cost you a lot more and you don't get the same sense of personal satisfaction that you will when you have done it yourself. The only real plus in having then garden paving slabs laid professionally is that it saves you time and work, which may be best if you are not able to lift or simply can't find the time.
No matter what you use them for, these slabs are sure to add something special to any yard or garden. You may find you have more uses for them than you thought possible. This is a great project for you to work on with a partner and it may even add value to your home if you decide to sell.
