Flower Trinket Box Candle Mould

A small lidded box with flowers worked into the surface, cast in silicone so the detail comes out crisp. Pour it in wax and it burns; pour it in plaster and it becomes a jewellery box that stays. Seven designs, available singly or as a discounted set of all seven.

Details

• Silicone
• Seven designs, or the complete seven-piece set
• Makes a lidded box — base and lid cast separately
• Suits candle wax, plaster and resin
• Plaster gives a box that lasts; wax gives a candle

How to use

Pour the base and the lid separately and let both cure fully before you try to fit them together — a lid demoulded early swells slightly and then never sits right. Tap firmly to clear air out of the flower relief. In plaster, sand the rim of the base lightly once cured so the lid drops on cleanly.

Care & safety

Wash in warm soapy water with a soft brush through the flowers, then dry fully and store flat. Do not force a lid that has not fully cured. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from sharp tools.

A good gift for

The plaster version makes a keepsake box, which is a rare thing to be able to make at home. Part of the candle-making range at GLOW & AURA.
