Re: Wax Melts
I haven't tried it, but I wonder if melting a candle, adding fragrance oil and letting it cool in a little container, would work? Obviously a dish that can stand heat if you plan to use a candle under it. I remember I did spill one onto the floor by accident because I picked it up when it was hot (bad idea, don't do that!) Took 4 days to clean up

but if you go to the site, its very straightforward. It costs pennies to post pics of stuff you want to sell. Shipping is a hassle now due to Brexit rules. I used to have one years ago, but once it became less about handmade items, and more about factory produced goods, I closed it.

Re: Wax Melts
You can buy these in loads of 'gift shop' sort of places, and even some garden centres. Usually anywhere that sells 'Yankee Candles' sell the wax tarts.I used to pop them in the top of my little oil burner and then light a tea light. Some smells are too sweet and sickly for me though.
Nowadays I tend to use a few drops of essential oils in a little water and burn that instead, but be very careful as the fumes from some oils are harmful to pets like dogs/cats/birds.
I have never made my own wax ones, I just use the real oils instead.
