Step 4Modify the lip balm stick

Modify the lip balm stick
Now we will manipulate the lip balm stick. Depending on the brand, yours might be very different from mine, but just manipulate it accordingly.
First get rid of the lip balm and pull very hard on the top and the bottom, so that the bottom piece comes off.
Now saw off the bottom and the top, as shown in the picture. Be very careful not to saw off to much and not to cut into the sliding part (we will later adjust the height).

Go back to your cube pieces and grain off enough from the inside, to be able to smoothly turn the stick in the bottom piece and to tightly fit it into the top piece (I know it seems impossible but with some patience you will be able to manage it. Just remember to let the Dremel cool off, else you might burn some ugly holes in your parts. If you do, simply fix them with the modelling clay).
