Make your own DIY Wax Melts at home for your wax melts warmer - scent with your favorite essential oil or fragrance oil for gifts you can give at the holidays!
30 dropsessential oilor 6 grams fragrance oil per clamshell (see notes)
Instructions
Fill a saucepan with 2-3 inches of water.
In a glass measuring cup, measure your coconut oil and beeswax. Place in the saucepan, taking care not to get any moisture inside the measuring cup.
Keep the stove at low-medium and allow the beeswax to melt in the oils. When the temperature is 150-160 degrees, remove from the heat and add your fragrance oil (or essential oils).
Stir to combine thoroughly.
Pour the scented wax into your clamshells (wax must be under 175 degrees F) and allow to cool.
Allow your clamshells a few days of resting time before use.
Notes
*If using a silicone mold, reference the max fragrance load for your fragrance oil - which is commonly 10-12% of the weight of the oils.*If your wax warmer does not generate a great deal of heat, use 2 Tbsp of beeswax pellets. For a wax warmer that generates more heat, use 1/4 C (4 Tbsp) of beeswax pellets.
