The “Duck in Egg – Small” silicone mould is a charming choice for crafting handmade candles with a tender, decorative touch. Perfect for springtime collections, Easter themes, or as a delightful gift, this design features a little duckling emerging from an egg, with fine detail that immediately catches the eye. Made from high-quality, flexible, and heat-resistant silicone, it’s built for repeated use without losing definition.
Silicone mould of the duckling in the egg: 36 grams of wax a candle, about 27 candles to the kilo.
A spring-season mould. It is cheap in wax and quick to make, which is what a seasonal figure is asked for. The wick it needs is a 3 × 7 and it is not included.
01 · 36 GRAMS AND A 3 × 7 WICK
At 36 grams a piece, a kilo of wax gives on the order of 27 candles. That is the reference for planning an Easter run without falling short or melting too much.
The 3 × 7 is a small wick, the one that matches the candle's 3.9 cm diameter. Putting a thicker one in a narrow figure does not make it last longer: it makes a flame that overflows and hollows the piece out on one side.
02 · THE MOULD IS 9.5; THE CANDLE, 6.7
The mould is 9.5 cm tall and 5.5 across, but the candle comes out at 6.7 cm. Those nearly three centimetres of difference are the working edge: you fill to the mark, not to the top.
The wax is poured between 70 and 75 °C — it melts at 62-65 and darkens above 85 — slowly, so as not to trap bubbles, and the mould is not moved until the piece is completely cold. The mould has a slit: before pouring, close it with rubber bands so the wax does not escape through the join.
