Picture of Makeup Compact - Tipnut.comToday’s feature is from Planet Green with Turn a Used Makeup Compact into a Perfume Carrier:

With his usual knack for creative recycling, Danny Seo, author of Simply Green Parties (2006, Collins), demonstrates how a used makeup compact can be turned into a solid perfume carrying case, whether it’s as a last-minute gift, or for you to toss into your purse before you head out the door. You can even make several of these as favors for a bachelorette party or shower, he says.

Great idea!

Here’s another recipe I have kicking around:

Solid Perfume

1/2 oz Beeswax
4 oz Vaseline
1/4 oz Fragrance Oil Concentrates (or use Essential Oils in amounts to aroma preference)

  • Melt beeswax and vaseline over low heat in a glass or enamel pan (could also place in a large pyrex measuring cup and heat in oven slowly–stir while melting).
  • Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Stir in fragrance.
  • Pour into container and let air dry until firm.

You’ll also find another recipe here: Instructables - Solid Perfume.
