How To Make Wax Melts With A Strong Scent Throw

December 6, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

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.

Designer Spotlight: ArsOnirika

It’s not really that close to Halloween as I write this, but as crafters we’re always looking ahead and spooky season is one of my favorites. If it’s yours, too, or you just like things on the Gothic side, you should enjoy browsing and stitching projects from Ars Onirika on Etsy. 

There’s a lot of pop culture inspired designs with a dark twist, from Harry Potter to Beetlejuice, Lord of the Rings to Edgar Allan Poe. 

The biggest section of the shop is just called Easy Cross Stitch, but it covers a lot of ground, from text-only designs to stained glass windows, tarot card-inspired designs (I was going to share this one called The Stitcher as it’s relevant to our interests) and a green absinthe fairy. 

I decided to talk more about that one instead just because I wanted to call out that while it’s in the easy section, it is labeled more accurately as being an intermediate design, so check those skill levels if you’re a newer stitcher. This one measures 122 to 169 stitches, which comes out to 8.7 by 12.12 inches or 22.2 by 30.8 cm on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes don’t say how many colors it uses, but it looks like a lot. This would be a great one to make for lovers of Art Nouveau or who have a fancy bar.

You’ll also find a large section of medieval and gothic designs, which includes lots of designs inspired by medieval artwork; a fantasy and magic section, filled with Harry Potter designs, fairies, Outlander and more; and classic art patterns, which is pretty much what it sounds like. 

There are also alphabets and samplers you can use to make your own projects, a few literary samplers, and a set of Victorian cat designs you can personalize with your cat’s name. 

If any of that piques your interest, you should definitely head over to Ars Onirika at Etsy and browse through their designs. Let me know if you see something you like!
