INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: PREPARATION
Sprinkle the glitter in a pretty pattern in the wax melt molds.
STEP 2: MELTING
Pour water into a double boiler or pan until it is about half full and bring to a boil. Then place a bowl for the wax in the pan of water and keep it on low heat. Pour all the wax and dye into the bowl and let it melt, stirring frequently.
You can also use a microwave to melt the wax and dye. Heat the wax for 30 seconds in a microwave-approved bowl, then stir. Repeat until the desired temperature is reached.
When the melted wax has reached a temperature of 70 °C, remove the bowl from the pan/microwave.
STEP 3: ADD
Use a thermometer to make sure the wax is at least 65°C before adding the fragrance oil. Now pour the bottle of fragrance oil into the wax. Stir the wax well so that the fragrance is mixed with the wax.
STEP 4: GIETING
Pour the wax at about 60-65 °C. Pour the wax carefully and slowly to avoid air bubbles. Allow the wax melt to set for several days.
STEP 5: USE
Break a wax melt from the wax melt bar and place it in the wax melt burner. Light the tea light below in the burner and enjoy!
