How To Make Wax Melts With A Strong Scent Throw

Making your own soy wax melts is not only a fun DIY project, but it also allows you to create your own unique scent combinations. Whether you’re looking to create a relaxing atmosphere, boost your mood, or simply freshen up your home, the possibilities are endless when it comes to scent options. In this video tutorial, you’ll learn step-by-step instructions on how to create your own soy wax melts and get the most out of your fragrance throw.

Fragrance throw is the term used to describe how well a candle or wax melt scent fills a room. The fragrance throw in wax melts is affected by several factors, including the quality and type of wax, the type and amount of fragrance oil used, and the size and shape of the wax melt. When it comes to wax melts, the size of the melt plays a significant role in fragrance throw, as a larger surface area allows for more scent to be released.

Soy wax is a popular choice for making wax melts due to its clean-burning properties and the ability to hold a higher amount of fragrance oil than other waxes. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to melt the soy wax, add your chosen fragrance oil, and pour the mixture into your chosen mold. You’ll also get tips on how to adjust the fragrance oil amount to get the desired scent strength, and how to blend different fragrance oils to create your own custom scent blends.

Making your own soy wax melts also allows you to control the quality and purity of the ingredients, ensuring that you’re using safe and natural materials. Plus, making your own wax melts can be a budget-friendly alternative to purchasing premade ones, especially if you plan on making them in large batches.

In conclusion, making your own soy wax melts is a fun and rewarding DIY project that allows you to create unique scent combinations while also controlling the quality of the ingredients used. By following this tutorial and experimenting with different fragrance oils and molds, you can achieve the perfect fragrance throw for your home. So, get ready to melt away your stress and create a soothing atmosphere with your very own handmade soy wax melts.

Silvia used a trendy faux postage style for her fun card filled with everything you need for a great day at the beach.

This Hippo is cool as a cucumber at the beach on this awesome card from Jennifer. She used dies for the palm trees, I like they are in white to not distract from the focal point, and a fun stamped hippo (both from Whimsy Stamps) on a beach towel. Distressed edges on the papers add some fun texture too. Take a closer look at the Just 4 Fun Crafts blog.

These mice are getting their beach house ready for the Summer on a darling card from Kathrin. She used dies and stamps from Lawn Fawn. Notice all the dots and splatters on the tan cardstock, it’s an easy way to create the look of sand. I spotted her idea on her Kruemel2812 Instagram page.

This awesome card from Elaine reminded me of a recent SNL sketch “Goth Kid on the Beach” 🙂 Even Goths like to hang out at the beach maybe just dressed a little differently. Her Oddball stamp from Stampingbella is in red, white and blue (colored with Copic Markers) for July 4th! Watch a coloring video at the Marker Geek blog.

These stamped seagulls are having a beach party on a wonderful card from Jasha. I love the funny pun of a sentiment and all the layers of matts and frames, this is a terrific way to fill in space on a card that has a smaller focal point. Find more details at the Art Impressions blog.

Colored cardstock with a white core gives a great white edge when torn like Tammy used as waves on her quick and easy beachy card. She added small stamped dots for texture on the sand, a stamped sentiment and a few die cut shells subtly colored with markers. Find directions on the Stampin’ Savvy blog.

If you aren’t able to make it to the beach this year I hope you’ll still have fun including on your cards!
