The downfall to ‘only’ having boys is that fun DIY tutorials, like this one for Harry Potter Butterbeer Lip Balm, go unappreciated. Sure, the boys love Harry Potter but so does my niece. That’s the perk to having a niece – she is all in on the fun of a DIY activity but she also enjoys the books & movies for which we are making something!
DIY Harry Potter Butterbeer Lip Balm Tutorial –
Supplies:
- 1 tablespoon beeswax pellets
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 dram butterscotch flavoring
- 1 small microwave-safe bowl
- 1 plastic spoon
- Lip balm containers
Instructions:
- Put the beeswax, honey, butterscotch flavoring and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt the ingredients in 15-second increments. Stir the mixture with a plastic spoon between each heat.
- When everything is melted, with no lumps, slowly pour the mixture into lip balm containers.
- Set aside to cool until the mixture has hardened.
- Stir the mixture together one more time after it’s hardened because the flavoring falls to the bottom of the container.
- Optional: Decorate the containers with ribbon.
- Put the lids on the Butterbeer Lip Balm and start using!
- Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
DIY Butterbeer Lip Balm is incredibly simple to make (my favorite kinds of tutorials) and ready to be used in under 30 minutes. I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know what you think?

Is it incredibly sticky? Can’t wait to try this out – we love all Butterbeer and in fact tried more butterbeer fun at Universal this week!

I haven’t made lip balm before but I absolutely love Butterbeer. This sounds like a great DIY project. I am definitely going to make it but I am not familiar with the term dram? What does that mean exactly…a drop?
Sara Phillips says
The little containers are one dram. It’s equivalent to about 3/4 teaspoon.
