hey guys so today I'm going to show you how to make these mini soda lip glosses
i'm going to model them after these real soda bottles that I found at the grocery
store
if you're new to Kimspired DIY welcome if you'd like to see more fun DIYs please
click that subscribe button so to get started you will need some of these
colored pens by papermate the first one I'm going to show you is the sprite so
i'm going to use the green pen and what you'll want to do is you will just want
to remove the ink and also the tip of the pen
next you want to take this piece off and set it aside as we will be using it
later with an exacto knife I cut off the top part of the pen to the size of the
bottle that I wanted
once you have the pen cut to the size that you would like
then you will want to thoroughly wash and clean that out
next you will need a piece of silicon or something that the hot glue will not
stick to place a bead of hot glue onto the silicon and place the bottom of the
pen cap into the hot glue let that dry once it's dried it will easily remove
from the silicon and then just break away any of the hot glue that overlaps
the bottom of the pen
this is going to seal the bottom so no lip gloss will leak out
now you will need one of these make up wedges you will only need one of the
triangular pieces trim a little piece off of the bottom and then cut that in
half
for the next part I'm going to use the tubing from one of these spray bottles
you can also use a q-tip or a paper clip
if you're going to use one of these then just remove it and thoroughly wash and
clean it out once my tubing was clean and dried
I just cut it in half
now i'm going to use some white thread i'm going to cut a piece big enough so
when I fold it in half it will stick through both sides of the tubing
once my thread was folded in half then what I did was I just thread that
through the tubing
and this is what it should look like at this point
now i'm going to take the piece of makeup sponge that I cut earlier place
that in the center and pull the thread down until the sponge actually goes into
the tubing
you will want to pull it tight enough but not too tight or the thread will
break
once the sponge is secured inside the tubing then you will just want to cut it down
to size so it fits in the bottle
place some hot glue on the bottom of the applicator and the piece that we saved
from the pen
you will want to place that on to the bottom of the applicator
here is mine after the hot glue had dry so I'm just going to place them in the
bottle to make sure that everything works
the next thing I did was I just filled the bottle with some lip gloss that I
already had and you can use any kind of lip gloss
it actually doesn't take a whole lot to fill these bottles
so why this process might seem a little tedious
it really doesn't take that long the first thing i did was i removed the
little plastic piece from the lip gloss because it made it easier to get more
lip gloss out of the bottle and then I just began filling in the little mini
bottle also remember when you're filling the bottle don't fill it all the way to
the top because when you put the applicator back in it will overflow
so only fill it about half way to three-quarters full
you will just want to clean off any excess and then you're ready to put your
applicator back in the bottle
the next thing that you will want to do is apply a label to the bottle
what I did was they just went online and I found a logo
I Shrunk that down printed it out
I applied some blue to it and then wrapped it around the bottle
and there is the mini Sprite lip gloss bottle and here is how it works
now if you want to make a Coke or Pepsi Dr Pepper any of those sorts of flavors
of soda you will want to use the black pen
you will repeat the same process as we did for the sprite one except for you
will use the label according to the bottle that you would like this one was
a coke one and i just filled it with the same pink lip gloss as before I also
made a Fanta and a Pepsi one and those ones i filled with a red lip gloss
