Step-by-step guide to making lavender wax melts
1. Melt the wax in a bain-marie
Pour the required amount of soy wax into a small heatproof bowl and place it in a saucepan of hot water. Allow the wax to melt slowly until it is completely liquid. Stir it gently occasionally to ensure it melts evenly.
2. Remove the bowl from the heat and add essential oil
Once the wax is liquid, remove the bowl from the bain-marie and let it stand for a moment to cool slightly, but not to solidify. Add 20 drops of lavender essential oil and mix thoroughly to ensure the fragrance is evenly dispersed.

3. Carefully pour the mixture into the moulds.
Prepare your silicone moulds and slowly pour the wax into them. Proceed calmly to avoid bubbles and ensure the wax spreads evenly into all parts of the mould.
4. Decorate the surface with dried lavender flowers.
Before the wax begins to set, sprinkle its surface with dried flowers from BEWIT Organic Lavender Flowers. The flowers will sink slightly and create a beautiful natural decoration.
5. As the wax begins to set, insert a piece of straw to create a hole for the string.
After a few minutes, the wax will start to thicken – at this stage, gently push a piece of straw into the top of the mould. The straw will create a precise hole through which you can later thread the string for hanging.
6. Once completely set, carefully remove the wax from the mould, remove the straw, and thread the string.
Allow the wax to cool and harden completely, then slowly remove it from the mould. Carefully pull out the straw and thread the string through the resulting hole. Your fragrant lavender talisman is ready to use or give as a gift.
Where to place your lavender scented wax melt?
The finished wax melt can be used in several ways, and it's up to you where you'll like it best. Place it in a wardrobe, chest of drawers, or on a hanger in the hallway, where it will subtly fragrance the entire space. It will also look lovely in the bedroom or on a bedside table.
If you like natural accessories, try hanging the wax melt on a decorative branch, shelf, or adding it to gift packaging. Lavender wax melts can beautifully enhance the atmosphere of any room.
Tips to make your wax melt look and smell even better
Making them is simple, but a few small details can elevate the final look and scent.
- Do not add essential oil to completely hot wax. Let it cool slightly first so that the fragrance retains its intensity better.
- Place the mould on a flat, cooler surface so the wax sets evenly.
- If you want a more delicate look, gently press the flowers with a skewer to keep them in place.
- You can also try other fragrances. Citrus, woody, and floral notes work wonderfully – find inspiration directly in our range of essential oils.
