If you’re interested in making your own wax melts, you’re in luck! Making wax melts at home is a fun and relatively easy DIY project that allows you to customize the scent, color and shape of your wax melts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started.
Wax melt making
First, gather your materials. You’ll need wax, a double boiler or melting pot, a mold for your wax melts (such as a silicone mold or wax melt tray), and essential oils or fragrances of your choice for scent. If you want to add color to your wax melts, you can also use candle paint or glitter.
Wax melt wax
Next, melt the wax using a double boiler or melting pot. If you are using a double boiler, fill the bottom pan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the wax to the top pan and let it melt, stirring occasionally. If you are using a melting pan, put it on low heat and melt the wax directly into the pan, stirring occasionally.
Wax melt fragrance oil
Once the wax is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in your chosen scent. You can use essential oils or fragrances for this step. Start with a small amount of fragrance – about 10-20 drops for each cup of wax – and add more until your desired strength. If you want to add color to your wax melts, you can also stir a small amount of candle paint into the melted wax.
Pour the melted wax into your mold and let it cool and solidify. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size and shape of your mold. Once the wax is hard, remove it from the mold and your wax melts are ready to use!
Using your wax melts
To use your wax melts, place one or more melts in a wax warmer and turn on the heat. As the wax melts, it releases its scent into the air. You can mix and combine different scents to create your own unique scents, and even layer different colors for a visually appealing effect.
Making your own wax melts is a fun and rewarding DIY project that allows you to customize the scent and appearance of your wax melts. Give it a try and see how much you enjoy the process!
