sure you can add any color of wax, just matters as to what color you want the balls to be, I am only guessing as I dont measure anything when makeing these, but say you melted down a pillar size candle, remove from heat add a teaspoon of scent stir well pour out on a wax paper covered cookie sheet, roll styrofoam ball in wax turing ball to cover till covered, let set and do another ball, keep going till you have used all the balls you want to or the wax hardens, you will need to remelt, add more scent, and roll all the balls agine, maybe do this three times each or till you like the look, if the scent doesnt smell strong enough add more, each time you melt the wax. sorry not good at giveing instructions, you can make these with joint compound also if you dont like useing wax, heres a old post that can explane about that method. hope I have helped oddie Here is a link that might be useful: snowballs

I have used the "tarts" to scent a batch of soy wax before succesfully making some great smelling candles. Otherwise, the votives work also, just removing the wick. Hope this helps! it is worth a try absolutely!

Hello, I read your post and use to buy & sell Party Lite candles. I stopped using them when I found out that Party Light candles are not all made here in the USA which we did not like since we had no knowledge of the quality of the materials used in making their candles. We agree, Party Lite had a nice scent throw but the soot is far too much for our liking. We couldnt help wonder what it was doing to our lungs. So to find a healthier alternitive to burning candles, Many years ago, I became interested in making my own candles. I have sold them in my own retail locations for years. I have made all sort of candles using many types of waxes. Overall (next to beeswax) we prefer soy wax. There is no dispute that soy wax is a much cleaner wax to burn. We have had great results from our soy candles and our customers come back for more. We found that measuring our fragrances by weight, not by volume gave us a better scent throw. We also found that buying a higher quality of fragrance oil also worked well for us. At times, depending on the fragrance, we have used 1.5 ounces (by weight) of fragrance oil per pound of wax. Keep in mind, wax is like a sponge and can only hold so much fragrance oil. Too much oil and you can get the opposit effect and have a poor scent throw. It is important to mix the fragrance oils very well to make sure they bind to the wax. Without aggitating, we mix ours for about two minutes. Hope this is helpful. Debbie

I tried the candle warmers that everyone is so crazy about, and I don't like them for the same reason you stated- for some reason the scent seems to burn off, no matter what brand it is, even one of my own, and you are left with a bunch of weak smelling wax. Whether "rebatching" the wax would work or not, I don't know. Since it will already have some oil in it, it may not hold much more fragrance. The wax would have to be completely melted and then the fragrance oil stirred into it quite well- just like making a candle from scratch. Then the candle would need to set up and cure for about a week. Feasibly, you could have a brand new candle or you could have a flop. You may want to consider using fragrance oils in water on the candle warmer. I know people that do that. It is essentially the same as an electric or tea-light fragrance diffuser. The people I know just put the water in something glass and heat resistant (like a coffee cup) and add some fragrance oil, and let it heat on the warmer. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
