Add 1 cup of vaseline in a microwave safe bowl 2. Heat the vaseline in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each heating. It took me about 3-4 minutes to melt my vaseline. Note that It will be liquid when it is fully melted and very hot! Make sure you wear gloves or oven mitts and make sure children are being supervised. 3. Once melted take out of microwave and stir in kool-aid drink crystals until desired colour is reached. ( I used the whole package and because kool-aid by itself is sour, I also poured in a packet of sweetner so that the lip balm wouldn't be so bitter, this is optional.) Stir until the crystals are completely dissolved. 4. If you see that your vaseline is starting to solidify you can heat again for another 30 seconds - skip this step if it is still liquidy 5. Pour into your lip gloss containers and leave to solidify - a couple hours 6. Repeat this whole process if making more flavours 7. Give to all your favourite people, but remember to save a few for yourself too! NOTE: After melting my vase
