Tarts are often called "wickless candles" and can be safer than traditional candles that require lighting a wick to melt the wax and release the scent. Wax tarts are placed into a special wax tart burner which relies on electricity to melt and disperse fragrance throughout the room without a flame. It is easy and inexpensive to make your own soy wax tarts to scent your home or to give as gifts to friends and family.
You Will Need:
8 oz Soy Wax
0.75 oz Fragrance Oil
Additional Tools:
Double boiler
Thermometer
Parchment paper
In a double boiler, on medium heat, melt soy wax until liquid. Add color (optional), we used equal parts Coral and Yellow Mica at 1ml each to create a rich orange color. Whisk well to fully incorporate the powdered colorant. Stir in fragrance (we used Caramel Corn Fragrance Oil)
and allow wax to cool slightly to below 180F. Place the "front" of your clamshell face down on a piece of parchment paper (makes it easier to clean up spills). Pour wax into clamshells and allow to fully cool. Do not pour wax
too hot or it will warp your clamshell. When wax has cooled, apply the back closure to the clamshell. For your convenience, we offer
tart/melt warning labels.
To Use: Break off a piece of the tart into an approved wax tart burner and enjoy!
