Making wax scented bears is a fun project to do with your older children because of the heat involved melting the wax. These bears are great for a room scent and have your house smelling wonderful. I found essential oils that are Christmas scents, so your house can smell like Christmas with your scented bears, all year long.
Items you need:
- Bears
- Wax
- Essential oils
- Double boiler
- Parchment paper
- Plastic bags
- Comb
How to make wax bears:
- Melt 2 cups wax in double boiler
- Add one bottle of essential oil
- Stir
- Make sure ur wax is approx 165 deg F to handle
- Submerge your bear in the wax completely
- Saturate the bear with the wax
- Squeeze excess wax off the bear
- Place bear on the parchment paper on a cookie sheet
- Comb the fur and fluff it
- Let dry for 24 hours
- Add a ribbon around the bears neck
- Put inside plastic bag and tie closed. (This will keep the scent in for gift giving)
Now you are ready to gift the bears. 2 cups of wax make 3 tiny 3.5″ bears. This size bear fits in a zip lock sandwich bag size. You can buy cellophane bags for a more decorative gift bag.
