Scented ornaments made from natural wax ► tutorial

Do you need last-minute Christmas gifts? How about wonderfully wintery scented ornaments made from high-quality natural wax?

This last-minute Christmas decoration to make yourself not only smells amazing, but also looks beautiful on the Christmas tree! With smaller moulds, you can also make really cute, scented gift tags yourself.

In our YouTube tutorial, we show you how to make wonderfully scented wax sachets yourself using our products. Here you can find the written tutorial:

First, you should make sure that you cover your workspace with a towel or similar.

Have everything you need for making your scented ornaments ready:

Rapeseed coconut wax 660-55M
Fragrance (we use Vanilla Nuts)
Wax colour (we use our new Berry colour)

You will also need:

Water bath / simmer pot
Thermometer
Something to stir with
(Precision) scales
Ornament moulds

1. Melting

First, melt the rapeseed coconut wax in a water bath or simmer pot. Heat the wax to 60 to max. 80°C. Stir regularly and slowly while melting. Make sure not to heat the wax too quickly or too hot. Also, make sure that no water gets into the liquid wax!

2. Adding colour (optional)

For colouring, we used our new wax colours and weighed out the recommended addition of 0.3%.

It is important to make sure that the wax has a temperature of approx. 80°C so that the colour can dissolve completely. If the wax in the extra container is too cold, simply put it back in the microwave briefly and stir until completely mixed.

3. Adding fragrance

Fully stir your chosen fragrance (max. 6%) into the liquid wax at approx. 75°C (for approx. 3 minutes).

Important: Always colour the wax first before adding fragrance.

Attention: Some ingredients in fragrance oils can react with the crystallisation of natural waxes.

4. Pouring

Slowly reduce the temperature to approx. 60-65°C. It is best to use a thermometer to check. The surroundings and moulds should not be too cold and the wax should not be too hot.

Do not pour the wax too quickly. Air bubbles can easily be removed by gently tapping the mould on the surface from time to time.

5. Hardening

After a few hours, you can remove the scented ornaments from the moulds - proceed carefully and slowly, as the moulds are quite thin.

You can hang the finished scented ornaments on the Christmas tree or in your wardrobe - or, if you used smaller moulds, use them as gift tags. When the scented ornaments are no longer needed on the tree, you can break them into pieces and use them in a wax burner as wax melts.
