Wax melts are a wonderful alternative to candles, providing a pleasant aroma that can be easily controlled. They’re easy to make, and you can customise the shape, colour, scent, and extra elements like glitter to suit your personal taste. They also make for a great DIY gift idea, especially when paired with a gorgeous wax warmer.
This essential oil wax melts recipe is completely customisable, so feel free to use more or less of a certain fragrance or mix multiple oils to create your preferred blend. It’s up to you how subtle or intense you want your melts to smell, and how many drops of oil you use will have an impact on the strength of the aroma.
Essential oils are highly volatile and can easily burn if exposed to extreme heat. This can be dangerous and cause fire hazards, so it’s important to take a few safety precautions when using an essential oil wax burner. Always keep the dish of your wax warmer covered, and check it regularly. This will prevent the oil from leaking and creating a fire hazard. It’s also important to never leave an essential oil burner unattended, and to turn it off when you’re finished using it.
In addition to the safety precautions mentioned above, it’s also recommended that you only use a small amount of essential oil in your wax melts, as the scent can quickly become overwhelming and may trigger headaches or nausea. Alternatively, you can use fragrance oils, which are manufactured to be safe to use in candle and wax warmers.
You can make your own wax melts with premium soy wax flakes and fragrance or essential oils from our wholesale range. You’ll find that these ingredients are cheaper than standard candles, and you can customise your melts to match your personal style and preferences. You can even buy moulds for making these homemade wax melts in a variety of shapes and sizes.
To get started, combine your beeswax with coconut oil in a double boiler over a medium heat. Then, stir in your chosen essential oils until well mixed. Once your mixture is melted, you can pour it into your desired molds. We recommend silicone molds for easier removal, but any type of mold would work (such as ice cube trays).
You can also choose to add a bit of extra decoration to your finished wax melts by adding a little glitter to the surface before pouring the mixture. Once they’ve cooled, you can pop them out of the molds and enjoy their delicious scent!
This DIY essential oil wax melts recipe makes an excellent scent for a fall-inspired home. Pair them with a stylish electric or ceramic wax warmer to complete your relaxing scentscape.
