How to make Christmas Wax Melts

You will need:

• 300g soy wax flakes
• 40g oils
• A heatproof glass jug
• Silicone moulds in your preferred shape

To learn how to make Christmas wax melts, follow the step-by-step guide below:

1. Take a heatproof glass jug and pour the wax inside.
2. Place the jug into a microwave and let it melt for 30 seconds. Take it out, stir it, and place it back inside for a further 30 seconds. Carry on this process until the wax is fully melted.
3. Keep a close eye on the wax as you need to ensure it doesn’t overheat, and that small white spots don't start appearing. While this won’t affect the burn quality or the effectiveness of the scent, it will make them look less visually appealing.
4. This is the point where the wax dye should be added if you want to include it in your melt. If not, you can add the essential oils of your choice when the wax has cooled (although not to the point of solidification). Make sure to stir your essential oils well, so they blend fully into the wax.
5. Take your Christmas mould and pour the wax carefully inside. Place them in a cool place so the wax can cool fully and harden, which usually happens if left overnight. Avoid placing the moulds into the fridge as it will likely be too cold for the wax and could cause it to crack.
6. When the wax has fully hardened, remove it from the moulds, and they are ready to use wherever you wish around the home.

If you’re all out of ideas for extra little presents to give to friends and family this Christmas, wax melts could be the answer to your prayers.

Use them as a stocking filler or place them around the house to invigorate your home with a delicious new scent, setting the mood as everyone starts to wind down for Christmas.

And who knows, once you give it a go, it could soon become a new hobby that you take into the new year and beyond.
