How to Pour Small Jars of Salve Without the Mess!

 

Somebody's a Genius! 

CW Salves have been a staple around here for a long time, I've poured a few jars in my day.  Well just when I thought I'd seen it all, wonders never cease.  Today I discovered a brilliant way to fill tiny containers like lip balm sticks and cosmetic jars {always a challenge} in a more controlled manner.

 Dollar Store Special:  2 for $1

Follow directions to make All Purpose Healing Salve, Naked Salve or any other CW Salve Blend.  Prepare your jars while you're melting the beeswax, coconut and olive oils.  When your salve is ready carefully pour it into a squeeze bottle using a funnel.  Next, wrap the bottle with a dish towel or hot pad because it's going to get warm.

 
Fill your small jars, lip balm pots or tubes with ease!
 

Clean up is relatively easy, let the remaining salve left in the bottle cool.  Then use a skinny rubber spatula to scrape most of the leftover salve out of the bottle.  Wash the bottle with hot, soapy water.
