Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To start, we will create a magic ring. Form a ring with your yarn and insert your crochet hook through the center. Pull the yarn through the ring and create 12 single crochets inside the ring. Once finished, pull the end thread to close the hole and slip stitch in the first single crochet.

Step 2: First Round

For the first round, make one chain stitch and start in the same hole as the slip stitch. Make an increase in the following hole. The pattern for this round is to fill each hole with an increase. By the end of this round, you should have 24 single crochets. Slip stitch in the first single crochet hole.

Step 3: Second Round

For the second round, make one chain stitch and start in the same hole as the slip stitch. Make one single crochet in the next hole, then an increase in the following hole. Repeat this pattern of one single crochet and one increase around the circle. By the end of this round, you should have 36 single crochets. Slip stitch in the first single crochet hole.

Step 4: Third Round

Continue the pattern for the third round. Make one chain stitch and start in the same hole as the slip stitch. Make one single crochet in each hole around the circle. By the end of this round, you should still have 36 single crochets. Slip stitch in the first single crochet hole.

Step 5: Fourth Round

Repeat the same pattern for the fourth round. Make one chain stitch and start in the same hole as the slip stitch. Make one single crochet, then an increase in the following hole. Repeat this pattern around the circle. By the end of this round, you should have 24 single crochets. Slip stitch in the first single crochet hole.

Step 6: Fifth Round

For the fifth round, make one chain stitch and start in the same hole as the slip stitch. Make one single crochet in each hole around the circle. By the end of this round, you should still have 24 single crochets. Slip stitch in the first single crochet hole.

Step 7: Sixth Round to Twelfth Round

For the next six rounds, continue filling each hole with one single crochet. By the end of the twelfth round, you should have 36 single crochets.

Step 13: Adding Decorations

Now it's time to add some decorations to your lip balm holder. You can choose to attach beads or other embellishments using a glue gun or sewing needle. Get creative and make it uniquely yours!

Step 14: Attaching Buttons

To make your lip balm holder even more functional, you can attach buttons. Use a glue gun or sewing needle to secure the buttons onto the holder. The number and size of the buttons are up to you.
