Fancy making your own wax melts? Here’s how.
What you’ll need to make wax melts:
- paraffin or soy candle wax – buy here
- fragrance oil – buy here
- candle wax dye – buy here
- silicone moulds, such as clam shell moulds – buy here
Tools you’ll need
- your cooker/hob to melt the wax
- container for melting the wax
- pouring jug
- metal spoon for stirring
- thermometer
- weighing scales
Step 1 – Prepare your space
Clear a surface in your kitchen so you have plenty of space.
Move any items you don’t want wax on out of the way so there’s no chance of spillages.
Have your moulds to hand so you’re ready when it’s time to pour the wax.
Step 2 – Weigh out your wax
Measure out one lb of wax into a container.
This will fill eight clam shell containers, which each hold six individual wax melts.
Step 3 – Melt your wax
Fill a large sauce pan half-way to the top with hot water and put on a medium heat. Rest a glass bowl on top of the water and fill with your wax, stirring gently.
Heat the wax to 70 degrees celsius, using your thermometer to keep track of the heat – this process should take around ten to fifteen minutes, but paraffin wax can take a little longer.
Alternatively, you can simply melt a saucepan of wax directly above the heat of your cooker, but keep a close eye on it and stir regularly.
Soon the wax will turn into a clear liquid.
Step 4 – Add a splash of colour
Take the wax off the heat and stir in some candle dye until it has dissolved, creating a lovely even colour.
Keep adding drops of the dye until you’re happy with the result, whether you’re going for a festive green or red or a more neutral shade.
Step 5 – Add the scent
Take the melted wax off the heat and monitor the temperature until it has dropped to 65 degrees celsius.
Then, add one ounce of fragrance oil (or up to three ounces if you like it strong!) while giving it a good stir.
Step 6 – Pour the wax
Carefully transfer the melted wax into a pouring jug, check that it’s no hotter than 60 degrees celsius and then pour it into the moulds.
You can pour the wax so it falls above the top of the moulds.
The wax will begin to set – leave it to set fully for a few hours until they have solidified completely.
Then you’re ready to light a tea-light in a wax melt burner, place the wax melt on top and fill home with your beautiful, home-made fragrance.
