Well if this isn’t the most genius thing I’ve seen all week, I don’t know what is.  What do you get when you put together a small mason jar, some wax melts and a screwdriver?

Making a Wax Melt Warmer for Your Car

How awesome is that?!  Here’s how it works:

It gets hot inside your car, which melts the wax, which releases their smell-good through the holes you’ve poked with your screwdriver, which makes your car smell fantastic.  Wax melt warmer for your car = GENIUS!

You’ll need:

*small (4 oz) mason jars like these
*wax melts (any brand)
*screwdriver How to Make a Wax Melt Warmer for Your Car

I got lucky because I already had a small mason jar in my pantry and I found a super cute decorative lid on a crafty Christmas gift I received last year from a co-worker.

If you do not have a decorative lid, you could absolutely use a screwdriver and poke holes, like my friend Sarah did (above).  Go ahead and put the lid on the jar, and carefully and slowly punch holes in the lid until the screwdriver drives through.  Be careful not to hit and break the glass.

You could also try to punch the holes with the lid off, but I feel you have more control if you can hold onto the glass as well.

Set it in the car’s cup holder (the door cup holder works great too if you have one!) and d.o.n.e.  As the weather heats up, the wax will heat up and begin to slowly melt.  How cool is that?!

    ok, this may sound strange to y'all, but exactly WHY would I want melted wax in my car??? Speaking as one who over the last 50 years has had all sorts of waxy substances melt in and mess or gum or gunk up my vehicles' interiors, from lipsticks to crayons to candles I just bought, I don't understand. You are doing this on purpose??? And, then how do you clean the wax out of the mason jar?

      The scented wax that you buy for Scentsy burners in the house is what she is talking about :) I particularly like the ones that smell like a pie is baking. The waxes that are bought, whether it be Scentsy brand or ones from Walmart somehow scoop out very easily from the burner. They are not like candle wax which is harder to scrape out.

    It's a great way to use the wax that is left over when you decide you need a scent change in your warmer.
