A Minimalist Candle Mold!
This mold can be used to create a shaped candle, either as a gift or simply for home decor!
What do you need for this?
- Wax
- Candle wicks
- Wax coloring (optional)
- Filament (Overture PLA)
- Fragrance oil (I used a pine scent, it smells great!)
From these materials, you can create a candle just like the pictures!
How to make the candle?
- Heat and melt your wax (mix it with coloring and fragrance oil if you have)
- Optional - Grease the inside of the mold for easier release (You can use mold release, vaseline, cooking oil, etc.)
- Use some rubber bands to hold the two halves of the mold together and tape the seams up to prevent leakage.
- Place the wick inside (make sure it is centered)
- Pour the wax into the mold all the way to the top (Tip: The wax shrinks as it cools, so come back in 20-30 minutes and top it up with wax again)
- Wait at least an hour until the wax hardens
- Open the mold and remove the finished candle!

This is my first 3D candle mold, and from my own testing, it worked amazing. I hope you have just as much fun with it as I did!
