Pomander Wax Melt Project
Oranges studded with cloves have been a beloved holiday gift for centuries. This project captures that classic pairing in a modern wax melt, with a warm orange and clove scent that says the holidays have arrived.
Make a batch to fill your home with seasonal scent while the turkey roasts, then share a few as a handmade hostess gift. The project is beginner-friendly, quick to pour, and easy to customize. Love a different fall scent? Swap in any fragrance from our collection to make it your own.
What You Need:
Instructions
You will need:
- 16 oz. Coconut Soy Wax
- 2 oz. Avocado Oil
- 1 bottle (1.75 oz.) Orange and Clove Fragrance Oil
- Melon Orange Candle Dye Flakes
- 10 Flower Clamshell Molds
- Digital Scale
- Microwave-Safe Container
- Thermometer
- Spoon or Spatula
Follow these steps:
1
Microwave the wax in 30-second bursts, until fully melted.
2
Weigh out 2 ounces of Avocado Oil and add it to the melted wax. Mix thoroughly.
3
Add a few Melon Orange Candle Dye Flakes and stir until dissolved. Keep adding flakes until you reach your desired color. Tip: The wax dries lighter than it looks when melted, so keep that in mind as you build color.
4
Add one full 1.75 ounce bottle of Orange and Clove Fragrance Oil and stir for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate. Note: No measuring needed. The full bottle is the right amount for this batch.
5
When the wax has cooled to 130-135° F, carefully pour it into the Flower Clamshell Molds.
6
Allow the wax to harden for at least 2 hours. Tip: Letting the melts set overnight makes them easier to pop out of the molds.
7
Pop the melts out of the molds and cut them into individual petals.
Once you’re ready to use, place a petal or two in a warmer. Give the wax a few minutes to melt and release its scent. Enjoy!
