How to Make Wax Crumbles

A container for mixing your wax, colorant, and fragrance
A spatula
A stainless steel sheet
A soap cutter (or dough cutter)

Soy wax for container candles for a greasier texture
Rapeseed wax for molded candles for a drier texture
For this tutorial, we will use rapeseed wax for molded candles. This wax has a high melting point, so it will dry fairly quickly.

For a “cake” effect, we recommend using our terracotta grain colorant.

Prepare your wax with your chosen colorant and fragrance. Once your mixture is ready and well-mixed, you can pour it thinly onto your stainless steel sheet.

The wax will crystallize and can be worked on after about 30 minutes; this time may vary depending on the room temperature.

Once the wax is completely dry, use your soap cutter (or dough cutter) to remove the wax from the sheet. This first step will create large pieces of wax. You will then continue to work these pieces of wax with your cutter, cutting them into smaller pieces. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired result for your candle crumbles.

Your wax crumbles are ready! All that’s left is to incorporate them into your candles!
