Creating a handmade scented candle is not just about crafting a lovely fragrance for your home; it’s also about having fun and getting creative! In our latest project, we took inspiration from the fresh, juicy scents of a classic fruit salad to make a delightful, fruity candle that’s as vibrant as it is fragrant. Watch the video below to follow along!

For this candle, we blended popular fruity scents like banana, strawberry, and tropical pineapple, layering each fragrance to capture the bright, refreshing essence of a fruit bowl. Not only does this candle look fantastic with its colorful layers, but each scent adds a playful, summery feel that’s perfect for any season.

Starting with a soy wax base, we melted and mixed in our fruity fragrance oils, using individual colors to represent each “fruit.” It’s a fun way to explore scent layering, adding a new fragrance with each pour and seeing how the scents come together as they cool. The end result? A vibrant, fun candle that smells like a fresh fruit salad!

If you love handmade scented candles and want to add a personal touch to your décor, a fruit salad candle is a perfect DIY project. It’s beginner-friendly, fun to make, and fills any space with delicious, uplifting aromas. Plus, it makes for a unique gift idea or a bright addition to your own collection.

So grab your favorite fruity fragrances, some soy wax, and your candle-making supplies, and follow along in the video to make your own fruity masterpiece. Enjoy the process of mixing, pouring, and—best of all—enjoying the lovely scent of your homemade fruit salad candle!
