Silicone mold - Christmas bells - pendant

The molds are made of flexible and durable silicone with plastic properties that allow for repeated use.

Before filling the mold with liquid wax, it is recommended silicone spray. Silicone is both a preservative for the mold and a factor that makes it easier to remove the finished candles. The variety of mold designs offered will ensure that you can prepare a candle for any occasion.

Ready-made beeswax candles can be freely decorated with natural products, e.g. coffee beans, etc.

The prepared candle can be lightly sprayed with silicone spray, which will make it shine.

When preparing candles, you can add scented oils intended for candles to the still liquid wax. Candles made this way will be a unique decoration as well as an original gift for family and friends.

How to make a beeswax candle?

You will need:
» silicone mold,
» wick of appropriate thickness, matched to the size of the candle (the larger the candle, the thicker the wick)
» rubber band
» toothpick
» silicone spray (optional) - the mold can be sprayed with silicone spray inside - if available it's a more difficult pattern, it will be easier to take it out.

1. Preparation of the mold

If we are casting candles with a complex pattern, they should be sprayed with silicone spray from the inside. Then it will be easier to remove the finished candle from the mold. Then we cut off the appropriate length of the wick (it must be longer than the form) and pull it through the middle. The next step is to put the rubber bands on the form. Finally, insert a toothpick into the end of the wick and tighten it well.

2. Flooding the mold with wax

Melt the wax in a pot (preferably enameled). Before pouring, the wax should be at the appropriate temperature - approximately 60°C. It should not be too cold or too hot. Pour the wax in a slow stream so that it reaches all the recesses. The hardening time of the wax depends on the size of the silicone mold.

3. Removing the candle from the mold

When the wax hardens and is cold, remove the rubber bands, open the mold and gently remove the candle. Then we take out the toothpick and cut the wick at the base, leaving about 1 cm at the top of the candle.
The final stage of finishing the candle is to "process" the bottom of the candle with a knife. The tip of the wick can be dipped in warm wax.

Mold use recommendations:

When making castings from molds, you must take precautions, bearing in mind that you are working with a hot substance.
