3D Cactus Candle Mould

A cactus cast fully in the round, in silicone that holds its shape through repeated pours and high temperatures. Works for dried flower candles, tealights and scented pillars alike. Two sizes, and the arms are what make it read as a cactus rather than a lump — which is also what makes the pour worth doing carefully.

Details

• Silicone, high temperature resistant
• Two sizes: small and medium
• Cast fully in the round — stands unsupported
• Suits candle wax, plaster and resin
• Reusable, easy to demould and clean

How to use

Thread the wick through the tallest arm and anchor it before you start. Pour slowly and in stages — the arms are the first place air gets trapped, and a bubble there shows as a hole in the finished cactus. Tap the mould firmly on the bench after each stage, then leave it upright and undisturbed until fully set.

Care & safety

Wash in warm soapy water and dry completely before storing flat. Do not cut inside the mould or use a knife to release a pour. Keep out of direct sunlight so the silicone keeps its flex.

A good gift for

A good first mould for anyone starting out — the shape is forgiving and the result looks like more work than it was. Part of the candle-making range at GLOW & AURA.
