Candle Molds Diy

To make a DIY candle mold, you will need:

• A model of the shape you want for your candle
• A mold box (a container that is larger than your model and has a hole in the bottom)
• Silicone rubber mold making material
• A release agent (optional)

Instructions:

1. Secure the model in the mold box. Make sure that the model is centered and that there is enough space around it for the silicone rubber to flow.
2. Apply a release agent to the model (optional). This will help to prevent the candle from sticking to the mold.
3. Mix the silicone rubber mold making material according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Pour the silicone rubber over the model in the mold box. Be careful not to pour too much silicone rubber, as this can cause the mold to be too thick.
5. Allow the silicone rubber to cure completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Once the silicone rubber has cured, remove the mold box and the model. You should now have a mold of the desired shape for your candle.

To use the mold, simply melt some candle wax and pour it into the mold. Allow the wax to cool and harden completely before removing the candle from the mold.

Here are some tips for making DIY candle molds:

• Use a variety of materials for your models, such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic.
• If you are using a porous material for your model, such as wood or plaster, be sure to seal it before applying the silicone rubber.
• To make a more durable mold, you can reinforce the silicone rubber with a layer of fiberglass or cloth.
• If you are making a mold of a complex shape, you may need to cut the mold into multiple pieces and then reassemble it before pouring the wax.

With a little creativity, you can use DIY candle molds to make candles in all sorts of unique shapes and sizes.
