Mark a st at round 17 of tube. Using Tail on cap, carefully st the cap to the tube where you marked the st. Hide knots and ends inside. Place the Chap stick inside the holder and close the cap. Now mark where your bead/button will go, and then sew it in place.
Add this pendant to a key chain like I did, or a necklace...or use it by itself.
Here I used a different color of thread, embroidery floss and a fish button :) My daughter loves it.
