Candle Molds – Sitting Frog

Made from high-quality, heat-resistant silicone, this mold ensures precise detail reproduction and long-lasting durability. Its optimized dimensions —8.5 cm total height and 7 cm diameter, with a casting height of 6.5 cm and diameter of 6 cm— make it ideal for home production as well as for artisanal candle workshops. Each candle requires approximately 40 g of wax and uses a recommended 3x8 wick.

The sitting frog mold stands out for its ease of use and excellent detail definition, making it the perfect tool for beekeepers and artisans of all levels. Thanks to the flexibility of the silicone, demolding is quick and safe, minimizing the risk of damaging the finished piece. Its durability allows for multiple reuses without any loss of quality, and its design does not require specialized equipment—basic wax melting and pouring tools are sufficient.

For optimal results, ensure the mold is clean and completely dry before use. Place the 3x8 wick at the center of the mold and secure it at the top. Melt the beeswax to a temperature between 65 and 70 °C and pour it slowly into the mold to avoid air bubbles. Let the wax cool at room temperature without moving the mold until fully solidified. Once cooled, carefully remove the candle, trim the wick to the desired length, and, if needed, smooth the base or edges with a hot tool for a perfect finish.

Beeswax candles are not only decorative but also offer numerous benefits: • They are natural, sustainable, and biodegradable, free of chemicals and petroleum derivatives. • They emit a warm, clean light without producing black smoke. • Their combustion helps purify the air by releasing negative ions. • They provide beekeepers with a way to add value to their products by transforming surplus wax into highly appreciated handcrafted items for markets, fairs, and specialty shops.

With the sitting frog mold, you are not only creating a fun and high-quality candle but also promoting a sustainable, artisanal production model, bringing together beekeeping tradition and creativity in every piece.
