HOW TO MAKE SCENTED SOY WAX MELTS - SCENT SHOTS FOR YOUR WAX WARMER! MAKE YOUR HOUSE SMELL GOOD!

[@kionscott6084]

Thank You so much for your time with making this video! It's been so helpful to me because I'm going to start making wax melts using shot cups like the ones you use.

[@j.doogan2552]

This is a great! You explained things very well and I can't wait to try this.

[@legendaryfails7529]

Wow! This was simple and comprehensive. Thanks so much. Since lockdown, I've been itching to do some crafts. This and resin is on my list of things to get in to.

[@eveadam2077]

Love your video. You're a great help to me . 👍

[@Ebonye-xr4bn]

Watching this in 2022 and found the content to be super helpful! TFS!

[@shebeehumble6824]

Thank you, good an simple instructions 🤩

[@NikkiSapien]

Instead of glitter , can I add a coffee bean or ground coffee for a coffee scent? And pine needles for a pine scent?

[@heliusuk]

Is that pillar soy wax? Or soy candlenwax you use for candles in jars?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I use Golden Wax 464 (soy) from Candlescience. 😊

[@heliusuk]

@TidyWithTheresa is that a USA site? As I live in the UK. ❤️

[@TidyWithTheresa]

@heliusuk - oh yes. It’s US. 😔

[@holliebayliss5630]

Hi do you wash out the pourer before you reuse it for another scent or will the next scent you use be stong enough to overpower any wax that may be left on the sides?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

While it is still warm I take a paper towel and wipe it out, then I take another clean paper towel with rubbing alcohol on it to remove the rest. 😎

[@kionscott6084]

I have a question. Do you charge for your samples and if so what would be a good starting price?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I’ve not actually made samples. I just sold these for $2 each but that was a couple years back. Wax is much more expensive now. Not sure how much they would be now. I stopped selling them and only make them for home use.

[@cc-jp3uz]

When your wax is melted you can use cotton balls to soak up the wax with zero mess.

[@arlinda4853]

How do they come out so perfect out of the cup container? I have some that don’t and they crumble up once I try to take them out

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I pop them. Maybe it helps that they are soy. 😄

[@observantvibes]

New to this so I have a few questions lol. For 600 grams of wax will a whole ounce give it a strong scent or would I need more than an ounce. And if I want to blend different fragrance oils would I use an ounce of each?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

So 600 grams would need 1 1/3 oz of fragrance to have a decent smell but I know many people that use less to have lighter scented candles. If you are making 600 grams of wax and want to mix fragrances, just make sure your blend/mix equals 1 1/3 oz total. I hope that makes sense. 🕯❤️

[@observantvibes]

@@TidyWithTheresa yes! Thank you so much! Makes perfect sense.

[@orethawilliams1474]

What size shot cups was those I have some black shot cups that are 4oz (11 8ml) would that work if that is alright to use with GB464 I wanted to do 10 shot cups how much wax and Fragrance would I need to use

[@TidyWithTheresa]

The cups are 2 oz each. Use 1 oz fragrance oil to 16 oz of wax. You can totally use the bigger cups and just have longer lasting and larger melts. 😎

[@orethawilliams1474]

@@TidyWithTheresa Thank you

[@TidyWithTheresa]

So you would need 2 1/2 pounds of wax and 2 1/2 ounces of fragrance I hope that makes sense.

[@orethawilliams1474]

@@TidyWithTheresa for the 2oz cup correct

[@TidyWithTheresa]

If you have 2 ounce cups then 1 pound of wax with 1 ounce of fragrance should make about nine or 10 wax melts with those. 😄

[@viceveadr]

Hi I’m hoping to learn and make some, but if one decides to sell these in shots what would be a price to put on them , thanks in advance

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I used to sell them for $2 each or 3 for $5. They actually were some of my better sellers. You can get the wax warmers and tea light candles from Dollar Tree and sell them as a package where you get the warmer, a couple tea light candles and maybe 3 melts for $8-$10. They make nice gift sets too!

[@viceveadr]

@@TidyWithTheresa thanks so much I’m so appreciative with your info , thanks so much I’m just starting to buy supplies , really want to my own scents , but it does get a little bit intimidated with all, and I’m so thankful when I do get help, tips ,, your awesome have a great day

[@TidyWithTheresa]

If you ever need help let me know. Candlescience has great resources too!

[@viceveadr]

@@TidyWithTheresa thank you 😊👍❤️

[@viceveadr]

@@TidyWithTheresa if you don’t mind s me asking I’m just exploring all my options and gathering ideas, yours is a great idea, my question is how would you package the candle and the melts , thanks

[@maryspencer3695]

What temp do you add your FO?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I add around 135° and I pour around 115°. I can usually “feel” when it is ready when the pouring pitcher feels like the temp of almost ready to sip coffee. I’ve been doing this a long time though so I’m used to it. I hope that makes sense. 😀

[@diannagonzalez-martinez5759]

Can you use clamshells as well?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Absolutely!

[@Bobbyssportsphotography]

Where did the pour pitcher come from

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Candlescience! 😎

[@angelasheffield989]

How much would you sell them for

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Back in the day when I sold them they were $3 each or 2 for $5. Wax is more now though. ❤️

[@susanlopez7070]

how much would you uses if you used essential oils?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I’ve heard that you use 30 to 40 drops per 8 oz candle but I don’t use essential oils because they are so expensive and the scent doesn’t last very long. Let me know if you do make them and how it goes. I’m curious!

[@susanlopez7070]

@@TidyWithTheresa i'm actually making some now so we'll see how it works :)

[@KASSANDRAandVICTORIA]

Any updates on how they turned out?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I’d like to know too! Lol. My fragrance oil ones are still going strong. 🕯

[@susanlopez7070]

@@KASSANDRAandVICTORIA yes they came on great with the essential oils

[@angelcece9759]

So you put it in the microwave 5 times

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Well, 5 minutes or until it is fully melted.

[@SnowWhiteKerze]

Please do not melt the wax in the microwave it can take fire!!!Please melt it in a double Boiler!!

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I didn’t know that. I’ve been a Candle Maker for over a decade and never heard that. Maybe it is because I melt it in 1 minute increments. When I’m really making candles I have a huge, industrial wax melter though. 🕯❤️

[@SnowWhiteKerze]

The microwave got much heat and the Boiler just can get with hot water 100grad
