Take your wax melt designs to the next level with Bleeding Heart Wax Melts, a creative Valentine’s project with a hidden surprise.

These heart-shaped melts feature a concealed pop of color that slowly reveals itself as the wax warms, creating a dramatic “bleeding heart” effect. Great for intermediate makers, this project is ideal for learning new techniques, experimenting with candle dye or mica, and creating bold Valentine’s wax melts that stand out.

Inspired by classic desserts and sugary confections, each mini candle features a playful candy heart wax embed nestled into creamy, dessert-themed wax.

Ideal for Valentine’s Day gifting, limited-edition launches, or seasonal collections, this project lets you explore embed techniques while creating an irresistibly cute set that looks (almost) good enough to eat. With endless fragrance pairings and color combinations, it’s a sweet way to turn candle making into the ultimate Valentine’s Day treat.
