One such iconic figure that often graces our homes during the festive<\/a> season is the Nutcracker, a symbol of wonder and magic.<\/p>\n

What if we told you that you could bring the spirit of the Nutcracker directly into your home, not just as a decoration, but as a fragrant, swirling wax melt? Imagine the warm<\/a> and cosy atmosphere it would create, filling your space with the nostalgic scents of the season.<\/p>\n

Join us as we delve into the art of crafting Nutcracker Christmas tree wax melts<\/a>. This DIY tutorial<\/a> will not only ignite your creative spirit but also infuse your surroundings with the delightful aroma of Christmas.<\/p>\n

Nutcracker<\/a> scent description:<\/h2>\n

Delicate hints of roasted chestnut, brown sugar, and nutmeg gracefully emerge, deepening the aroma in your room. These subtle undertones add a touch of warmth and comfort to your surroundings.<\/p>\n

But what makes our Nutcracker Fragrance Oil<\/a> truly remarkable is the intricate blend of scents within. As the candle<\/a> burns down, you’ll discover a delightful aftertaste of clove, oak, vanilla, white sandalwood, and caramel lace. These final notes are the secret to a truly unforgettable fragrance that lingers, leaving a lasting impression long after your candle has finished burning.<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/h2>\n

80g SoyaLuna Pillar Wax<\/a><\/p>\n

Christmas Tree Wax Melt Clamshell<\/a><\/p>\n

8g Nutcracker Fragrance Oil<\/a><\/p>\n

Light Brown Dye<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Dye<\/a><\/p>\n

Gold Satin Mica Powder<\/a><\/p>\n

Platinum Gold Biodegradable Glitter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/h3>\n

Weigh 80g of pillar wax and pour into a Bain marie or double boiler. Melt until smooth and clear<\/a> in appearance, up to a temperature of about 80\u00b0c. Stir slowly avoiding any air bubbles being added to the wax.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/h3>\n

Next, weigh 8g of fragrance oil. Once the wax has fully melted, you can pour the fragrance oil in and stir slowly (at the appropriate temperature) . You will need to make sure that the wax is below 93\u00b0C <\/strong>which is Nutcrackers\u2019s flash point temperature.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/h3>\n

Now it\u2019s time to add the dye. The best temperature to add dye is when the wax is between 60-65\u00b0c. Pop the thermometer into the wax and once at the optimum temperature, add a pinch of light brown dye dye chips and then a small pinch of black dye to create a deeper colour. Mix this together until one colour and no dye chips can be seen. This usually take 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/h3>\n

Add a quarter of a teaspoon of gold satin mica powder to the wax and stir this in. We love watching the beautiful swirl it creates! Add a small amount of glitter into the mix to embed this inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/h3>\n

Next you will want to prepare your Christmas tree clam shell mould by adding a tiny sprinkle of glitter inside. Then we poured the wax mixture on top between 65-70c.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/h3>\n

Wait for the wax melts to set for at least 24 hours. Then either secure the lid on the clamshell ready for gifting or de-mould the wax melt block and split into squares ready for placing onto a wax melt warmer. Watch the wonderful swirl of mica powder and glitter and allow the aroma to infuse your room.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

We recommend securing the lid on your nutcracker Christmas tree wax melts<\/a> and leaving to cure for around 2 weeks for the ultimate scent throw.<\/p>\n
