How to make Christmas tree wax melts
This festive wax melt makes for a great for handmade Christmas present. We have added mica powder to add a seasonal sparkle effect when burnt, perfect for getting you in the Christmas mood.
What you need:
- EcoSoya Melt
- Green Liquid Candle Dye
- Silver Lilac Mica Powder
- Christmas Tree Wax Melt Clam Shell
- Scales
- Thermometer
- Pouring Jug
- Christmas Fragrances
- Saucepan
- Bowl
Step 1 - Measure
Firstly using your bowl and scales, measure out 80 to 90 grams of EcoSoya Melt Wax.
We like to use this wax as it exhibits a great scent throw, vibrant colours, and excellent mould release.
It's also vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly, what's not to love?
Step 2 - Melt
Next up, fill your pan halfway with boiling water.
Melt your wax on a medium to low heat and stir until melted.
Once your wax has melted, you can take it off the heat.
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.
If your wax is not completely melted, stir and put it back in the microwave until melted.
Step 3 - Colour
Add your green liquid dye and stir.
We have used green to create a realistic fir tree feel but you could choose three different Christmas themed colours, like red, green, and gold so each melt is different!
Step 4 - Fragrance
Let your wax cool to 65 degrees before adding your chosen fragrance oil.
We have over 30 Christmas Fragrances to choose from, including Christmas tree, mulled pear and cranberry punch and jingle bell.
Step 5 - Mica powder
Add your mica powder to your melted wax and stir, we have chosen silver lilac.
We use a 5% mica powder to wax ratio.
Step 6 - Pour
Transfer your wax into a pouring jug.
Slowly pour your wax mixture into your Christmas Tree clam shell.
Leave your wax melts to set overnight, for cure time we recommend around 2 weeks.
Done!
That's it! A super easy Christmas craft!
