This silicone mould in the shape of a cylinder with a reindeer is perfect for crafting elegant and festive beeswax candles with a winter-inspired design. Ideal for seasonal collections or themed gifts, it brings a warm, artisanal touch to any setting.
Flexible silicone mould for a cylindrical candle with a reindeer in relief: a figure 12 cm tall and 6.5 cm across, about 335 g of wax.
The 335 grams do add up, and in this range that has to be checked. The cylinder enclosing the figure — Ø 6.5 by 12 cm — is 398 cm³, which at the density of wax gives 382 g as a ceiling. A cylindrical candle fills nearly all of its cylinder, so the 335 g declared, 88 % of the maximum, are exactly what you would expect.
01 · THREE CANDLES PER KILO
At 335 g a piece you get three candles per kilo: with our 1 kg wax block, about €4.99 a candle. With your own cappings wax, the cost is whatever you put on it.
02 · POUR AT 70-75 °C
Wax melts between 62 and 65 °C and is poured at 70-75: below that it arrives setting and leaves cold lines, which on a cylinder show from top to bottom. Above 85 it darkens. Clean mould, centred wick and full cooling without moving it. The mould has a slit: before pouring, close it with rubber bands so the wax does not escape through the join.
03 · A 3x18 WICK, AS A STARTING POINT
The supplier recommends a 3x18 flat wick for these 6.5 cm. Take it as a starting point: in its own catalogue another mould of the same diameter carries 3x16, and the Easter egg, at 7.8 cm, also carries 3x18. Two test pours settle it better than the table.
