What You'll Need:

Soy wax
Fragrance oil
Wax melt molds
Double boiler
Thermometer
Spoon
Parchment paper

Instructions:

1. Gather your supplies. 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. Place the soy wax in the top of a double boiler. 4. Heat the wax over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit. 5. Remove the wax from the heat and add the fragrance oil. 6. Stir the wax and fragrance oil together until well combined. 7. Pour the wax into the wax melt molds. 8. Let the wax cool for several hours, or until it is completely hardened. 9. Remove the wax melts from the molds and enjoy!

Tips:

* You can use any type of soy wax, but I recommend using a wax that is specifically designed for wax melts. * You can use any type of fragrance oil, but I recommend using a fragrance oil that is specifically designed for wax melts. * You can use any type of wax melt molds, but I recommend using molds that are specifically designed for wax melts. * If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the wax in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the wax on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the wax is melted. * If you don't have a thermometer, you can use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the wax. * Let the wax cool completely before removing it from the molds. This will help to prevent the wax from breaking. * Store the wax melts in a cool, dry place. They will last for several months.

Variations:

* Add glitter to the wax for a festive touch. * Use different colors of wax to create different designs. * Add essential oils to the wax for a more natural scent. * Use different scents of fragrance oil to create different holiday vibes.

Festive Scent Ideas

Here are some great festive scents for holiday wax melts:

* Christmas: Cinnamon, vanilla, pine, gingerbread, candy cane * Winter: Apple cider, caramel, nutmeg, clove, orange * Autumn/Fall: Pumpkin spice, maple, cinnamon, apple, vanilla * New Year's: Champagne, citrus, lavender, vanilla, pine

Making your own wax melts is a great way to bring some holiday cheer into your home. They're easy to make, and you can customize them with your favorite scents. So get creative and have fun!
