Introduction
Are you tired of burning your favorite candle and running out of it too quickly? Do you want to make your own wax melts to use in your wax warmer? Well, you’re in luck because in this article, we will teach you how to turn a candle into wax melts.
Gather Your Supplies
To begin, you will need a few supplies. These include a candle, a double boiler, a silicone mold or ice cube tray, a spatula, and a pair of scissors.
Step 1: Remove the Wax from the Candle
To make wax melts, you will need to remove the wax from the candle. To do this, use the scissors to cut the wick as close to the wax as possible. Then, use the spatula to scrape out the wax from the candle jar.
Step 2: Melt the Wax
Next, melt the wax in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a glass bowl placed over a pot of boiling water. Heat the wax until it is completely melted.
Step 3: Pour the Wax into the Mold
Once the wax is melted, pour it into the silicone mold or ice cube tray. Make sure to leave a little bit of space at the top of the mold for the wax to expand.
Step 4: Let the Wax Cool
Allow the wax to cool and harden for a few hours. Once it is completely cooled, remove the wax melts from the mold.
Step 5: Use the Wax Melts
Now that you have your wax melts, you can use them in your wax warmer. Simply place one or two wax melts in the warmer and enjoy the fragrance.
