These wax melts will fill your home with a fresh combination of Blushing Orchid and Baby's Breath fragrance oils.
Ingredients
  • 15″ Sheet Pan
  • Freezer Paper or Parchment Paper
  • 10 oz. Ecosoya Q230 Wax
  • 0.4 Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil
  • 0.3 oz. Baby’s Breath Fragrance Oil
  • Pink Rose Petals
  • Jasmine Flowers
  • Optional: White Leaves Tealight Warmer
Instructions
  1. Weigh out 10 ounces of wax in a heat-safe container. You can microwave the wax in 30 second bursts or place the container on a burner and melt over medium heat. The wax has a melting point of 120° F. Once melted, take the container off the heat source and set aside. TIP: You may consider designating a special container for wax, as it can be tricky to clean.
  2. Cover the sheet pan with freezer paper or parchment paper. NOTE: We found both parchment paper and freezer paper were suitable for this project. We don’t recommend wax paper because it can melt and stick to the wax pieces.
  3. In a small glass container, mix together 0.4 ounces of Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil and 0.3 ounces of Baby’s Breath Fragrance Oil.
  4. When the wax has cooled to 150° F or below, pour in the fragrance blend and stir thoroughly.
  5. Carefully pour the wax onto the lined sheet pan.
  6. While the wax is still liquid, sprinkle pink rose petals and jasmine flowers on top. Try to sprinkle them as evenly as possible, so each piece of wax melt has petals.
  7. Allow the wax to fully cool and harden for several hours.
  8. Once the wax has completely cooled, remove the paper from the wax and begin breaking it into pieces. Don’t worry about making the pieces uniform – the unique shapes are part of the appeal. Break the wax into small enough pieces so it fits your wax warmer without melting over the sides. Once you’re ready to use, light the tealight in your wax warmer and place several small pieces of the wax bark on top. It will take a few minutes for the wax to melt and for the scent to become noticeable. Enjoy.
