New video on making scented wax tablets/sachets - to place/hang in your drawers, wardrobes and anywhere you like! These make perfect gifts for your friends and family. These are also very easy to make and best crafts to be made during lockdown times! I hope everyone is well and we can go back to our normal daily lives!! :(
Wax tablets are scented wax that you can hang around your house, leaving aroma around your house just like candles but without the fire hazards.
Recipe used in the video:
Beeswax : Soywax (1:1)
5-10% Fragrance/Essential oils
Tips for calculating your total volume:
1. Find out how much the total volume of your mould weighs
2. Times that total volume in grams by 0.8 to account for the different density between wax and water. Basically 0.8 is the magic number you multiply your mould cavity volume by to get the weight of the wax you need.
Other very useful tips when making wax tablets:
- Let the melted wax cool down a bit before adding in the essential oils or you will denature them and the scent will be lost!
- Let the wax set up and cool down until you can at least see the borders of the mould before adding your botanicals on top if you want them seen on top of the tablet. They will sink to the bottom if you add it right away especially if they are tiny as the lavender buds.

3:50 Adding of the eyelets

You can make these just using beeswax or just with soy wax as well! The use of the combination just makes it a harder bar! Stearic acid will make it even harder and longer lasting and I prefer them with the humid area in Hong Kong. You can check out the finish product of using stearic acid in the formula instead of soywax in the previous video: • Scented Wax Tablet 香薰蠟...

@TheScraftworks 3 жыл бұрын

If you have an irregular shaped mould, I usually pour some water into the mould and measure the weight of the water to see how much volume it holds. Then because wax has a different density than water, I times that weighted amount by about 0.8 to get the volume of the mould. I did this in another video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obx9lJqctrPOhqc.html Hope this helps! Thank you for watching!

I don’t normally measure the temperature when pouring, as long as all the wax melts then it’s ok to pour. I am not that strict to measure the amounts of each mould but just don’t pour to fill the mould then should not overflow.

You can measure the temperature of your wax 135-185 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the flash point the of essential you use, some have higher and some have lower flash points but that’s the general range. The scent can actually last for a long time and you happen to find it not strong enough, you can scrap off the wax to show the lower layer.

Why u used bees wax and soy wax These tablets can be made for beeswax and soy wax separately ?? And can we use fragrance oil instead of essential oils??

@TheScraftworks 3 жыл бұрын

I happen to like the combination of these two waxes because soywax maybe too soft by itself. You can try making them by just the waxes separately but the hardness of the tablets may be different. Of course you can choose to use fragrance oils instead.

You can check the manufacturer of your fragrance oils to see whether it is safe for diffusing

hi if i wanna do exactly like yours but i wanna do 130 pieces so how much wax do i need? btw your videos are awesome keep making more!!!!🥰

@TheScraftworks Жыл бұрын

The video shows a full explanation of the formula, each mould should be around 40ml volume so to account for the density of wax it would be 40x0.8 for each mould. If you want to make 130 of them you do the multiplication for the full amount. Hope this helps!

Hi, thank you for sharing the helpful DIY guide! btw, how long the scent of the tablet last? will it differ to where we place it? (in enclosed space or open-air). I plan to give it as a gift, is there a way to pack the tablet individually so the scent will be reserved until the package is open? thanks btw!

@TheScraftworks 3 жыл бұрын

The scent will be strongest in an enclosed space - around 6 months. If the scent fades, you can scrap on the wax to show the scent again. The scent will be kept regardless of how you store it.

I haven’t made wax melts before but I think they should be made out of wax plus a softer oil like coconut oil to make them easier to cut and melt. I think these may take too long to melt when compared to wax melts

The temperature to pour your fragrance will depend on the flash point of the fragrance or essential oil you choose to use. It is best to check the one you are using and make sure you add it at a temperature below it and you will be good 😊
