How To Decorate Wax Melts
Learn how to make beautiful wax melts using our brand new silicone heart mould and silicone snap bar mould!
What you need:
- Pillar Wax
- Chosen Fragrance
- Candle Dye
- Glitter or Mica
- Silicone Heart Mould
- Silicone Snap Bar Mould
- Scales
- Thermometer
- Pouring Jug
- Saucepan
- Bowl
Step 1 - Decorate
Firstly using glitter, mica or botanicals, decorate your chosen mould!
Step 2 - Measure
Using your bowl and scales, measure out around 60 grams of Pillar Wax for each mould.
Step 3 - Melt
Next up, fill your pan halfway with boiling water, melting your wax on a medium to low heat and stirring until melted.
Once your wax has melted, you can take it off the heat to cool.
If you prefer to melt your max in the microwave, you can do so by placing your wax in a container on a medium heat for 5 minutes stopping at 30-second intervals to stir.
If your wax is not completely melted, stir and put it back in the microwave until melted.
Step 4 - Colour
Add your chosen colour liquid or chip dye to your wax and stir.
We have opted for violet chip dye to create a soft purple finish!
You can add your dye at any temperature, just remember to stir thoroughly.
Step 5 - Fragrance
Wait until your wax has cooled to 65 degrees Celcius and add your chosen fragrance oil, stirring thoroughly.
Step 6 - Pour
Allow your wax to cool to between 55 to 60 degrees Celcius.
Transfer your wax into a pouring jug and pour your wax into your moulds.
Leave them to set overnight.
Step 7 - Remove
Remove your wax melts from their moulds and that's it! Leave to cure for a few weeks for an optimal hot throw when melted!
We’d love to see your work!
