Silicone mold for candles - Rose tealight

Floating rose in beeswax — the understated centrepiece that lights up tables and events.

📐 Specs and yield

Mold 5.0 × 4.5 cm (circumference 15 cm). Resulting candle: 3.5 × 3.2 cm. Wax usage: ~20 g per candle, recommended wick 3×6. One kilo of surplus beeswax makes ~50 candles; burn time each: 3-4 hours floating on water. Flexible, heat-resistant silicone for continuous use without losing petal detail.

♨️ Beeswax is different — work it that way

Beeswax has a melting point of 62-65 °C —much lower than industrial paraffin (50-55 °C in some grades) but with ~0.96 g/cm³ density and distinct texture on setting. Melt at 65-70 °C, never above 85 °C (beyond that it starts degrading and losing aroma), and pour in a thin stream to reach every relief with no bubbles. After pouring, let cure 24 hours at room temperature before using: hot wax is fragile and must not be moved until fully set. Beeswax flames burn at ~1093 °C, produce negative ions that purify the air and generate no black smoke or soot —direct sales arguments over paraffin.

🎁 Where it sells best — uses and markets

The floating rose works especially well for wedding and christening centrepieces (1-2 per table, floating in water with petals), decorative events (spa, indoor basins, garden ponds), Valentine's Day and Mother's Day as individual favours, and as a seasonal decorative line in the beekeeper's own shop. Typical artisan-market margin: 2-4 € per unit, depending on channel. At that margin and 20 g of wax per candle, each kilo of surplus wax becomes ~100-200 € of revenue —a real difference against selling bulk wax at 8-10 €/kg.
