Candle Mold - Gnome with Honey Jar

 Made from high-quality silicone, resistant to high temperatures and repeated use, the mold measures 10 cm in height and 6 cm in diameter, with a circumference of 19.5 cm. The finished figure is approximately 8.8 cm tall and 4 cm wide, and requires about 310 g of wax. For optimal burning, a 3x9 wick is recommended.

Thanks to its flexible design and sharp detail definition, this mold allows for easy unmolding without damaging the candle — even for those with no prior experience. It is reusable, retains its shape over time, and delivers a smooth, consistent finish. It works especially well with natural beeswax, preserving its texture, color, and scent, resulting in an attractive and aromatic final product.

For best results, ensure the mold is clean and completely dry before use. Place the wick in the center and fix it securely to the base. Carefully pour the melted wax at the recommended temperature and allow it to cool completely at room temperature — avoid forced cooling. Once solidified, gently unmold the candle and trim the wick to 5–10 mm. If needed, small imperfections can be corrected with a fine blade or by gently warming the surface with your hands.

Beeswax candles are not only visually appealing, but also offer practical and environmental benefits. They burn cleanly, without releasing toxic compounds, and emit negative ions that help purify the air. For beekeepers, turning wax into products like this beekeeping gnome is an excellent way to diversify their offerings, add value to a noble by-product like cappings wax, and provide a sustainable, handcrafted alternative that is highly appreciated by environmentally conscious customers.
