20. Bleeding Heart Wax Melts
Indulge your senses with bleeding heart wax melts that fill your home with cozy autumn scents while offering a delightfully macabre visual experience. These homemade wax melts are designed to release a deep, blood-red center as they melt in your wax warmer. To make them, you will need soy wax flakes, candle dye (deep red and a contrasting color like charcoal grey or white), and autumn fragrance oils like pumpkin spice, amber, or patchouli. First, pour small amounts of red-dyed wax into small heart-shaped silicone molds and let them cool completely. Next, place these red hearts into the center of larger wax melt molds. Pour the contrasting charcoal or white wax around the red hearts, completely encasing them. When melted, the outer wax will pool, and the hidden red heart will slowly melt, creating a dramatic “bleeding” effect.
