This is a Tutorial that will show you how you can create your own Soy Wax Tarts. This is a favorite of mine, I love to burn my own Soy Wax Tarts which to me smell so much better and stronger than Scentsy’s or any other store bought type. Soy wax has a great throw back scent. It’s also so great for making for gifts because the possibilities are limitless, you can customize the color, scent, shape,  for the person you are giving it to.

 First you will need your supplies:

• Double Boiler
• Candle Making Thermometer
• Soy Wax
• Wooden Spoon
• Fragrance
• Clamshell Mold (or any other mold you want to use, you will see later that I also used Plastic and Silicone Molds for shaped Tarts)

First you will need to melt your soy wax . If you don’t already know how to make Soy Candles then please go to my previous tutorial found here to learn how to melt your wax down for the first step of this tutorial.
