Peppermint candy cane wax melts are my absolute favorite to use during the holiday season! Next to the scent of a balsam fir, nothing says Christmas to me like peppermint! I just love the smell, and it’s so easy to make your own at home. I have several wax warmers placed all throughout our home and peppermint is THE scent for the holiday season!
Additionally, if you’re looking for a great handmade Christmas gift, these wax melts are great for those candle lovers on your list! You could substitute the scented oils to make this completely your own as well. There’s no end to the many possible scented wax melts you could create for each different season.
Peppermint Candy Cane Wax Melts
Ingredients:
- 1 cup soy wax melts
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 8 drops ylang ylang Essential Oil
- 24 Drops peppermint Essential Oil
- Wax container
Instructions:
In a candle double broiler, pour 1 cup soy wax melts.
Add ¼ cup coconut oil. Stir. Heat, stirring continuously until melted.
In a small dish, mix your essential oils. Add to the wax mixture.
Pour the wax into the container. Allow to sit until hardened.
Add a label to the front. Here are five below that you are welcome to download and print to use. I’ve found that using sticker paper for your printer is a perfect way to make these look really great! You just print them out on this paper and cut them down to the size of the front of the plastic container you put the wax melts in. Of course, if you’re really creative, you might even come up with your own sticker design.
These make a great gift alone, but if you wanted to add in a wax melt warmer, the recipient would probably love that!
