Candle Mold – Baby Jesus

"Baby Jesus" Silicone Mold: The Heart of Your Nativity

This is the centerpiece that gives meaning to the entire Nativity scene. The Baby Jesus mold is indispensable, designed with precision to capture the tenderness and peace of the moment. Made from high-quality silicone, it faithfully reproduces the folds of the swaddling clothes and the facial expression. Ideal for beekeepers and crafters looking to create emotive pieces in beeswax, plaster, or resin, ensuring smooth demolding without damaging the delicate figure.

Instructions & Compatibility:

• Suitable Materials: Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, paraffin, ceramic plaster, creative concrete, epoxy resin, and soap base.
• Preparation: Silicone spray is crucial to protect facial features. Center the wick. Secure the mold with rubber bands before pouring.
• Pouring Temperature: Pour between 50°C and 60°C. Moderate temperature is vital for wax to flow into tiny details without trapping bubbles.
• Safety: Always use caution when handling hot wax.

💡 Expert Tips for the Baby Jesus:

1. The Face is Sacred: Being a small figure, a single air bubble on the face can ruin the piece. Pour the wax very slowly while tilting the mold, and immediately tap the base quickly and lightly to force any micro-bubbles upwards.

2. Beekeeper's Touch: Natural beeswax is perfect for this figure. Its golden hue adds a solemn, warm glow that fits the Christmas theme perfectly, increasing the perceived value of the candle compared to white paraffin.

3. Gentle Demolding: Although the silicone is elastic, small figures require care. Do not pull by the wick. Open the mold sides completely to release the figure without applying pressure to the neck or hands.
