For the Earth Goddess — who has lost the same tube of lip balm to the bottom of the same bag more times than she cares to count.
Handwoven in cotton, knot by knot, this little sleeve solves a problem so small you had stopped noticing it. The macrame is worked snug enough to grip a standard tube and hold it there through a day of walking, driving and rummaging, and the keyring at the top means the balm now lives wherever your keys live — which is to say, findable. Because it is cotton rather than plastic, it softens with handling instead of cracking.
Clip it to a bag strap, a belt loop, a set of car keys, or the zipper pull of a coat pocket. It makes a small, useful gift for the friend who is forever asking if anyone has chapstick.
