Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace. - To metal melting pot, add 2 oz. of Beeswax and 2 oz. of Palm Kernel Flakes.
- Place on heat source and heat until waxes have completely melted.
- Remove and place on towel or oven mitt to protect countertop.
- Add (1) 0.15 ml micro size scoop of Siesta Sunset Mica Powder and stir until color has mixed in.
- To a plastic beaker, add 0.50 oz. of Radiant Red Maple Fragrance Oil and add to the melted wax. Stir well.
- Place the two molds on cookie sheets.
- When wax has cooled to around 145°F, carefully pour a little over 1/4" of wax into the bottom of each cavity. If the leaf has a stem, make sure you pour enough wax so the stem is filled. There should be enough wax to fill 3 trays.
- Place trays in the refrigerator to harden. After 15 minutes, remove plastic molds, turn over and the wax leaves will pop right out.
- Reheat remaining wax in pot and pour the last 5 leaves. Place in refrigerator until hardened, then unmold.
- Clean any remaining wax in the pot by wiping clean with a paper towel. Place the pot on top of the heat source for a few minutes until any remaining wax inside has melted. Then carefully wipe clean with a paper towel.
- Repeat above steps using the remaining three mica colors in Step 4.
- There should be a total of 60 leaves when finished.
- Place six leaves into an organza bag and tie closed.
- Label product accordingly.
To Use: Place wax leaves in car, drawers, bathroom or in a decorative dish to fragrance areas.
