Pleated Shell Silicone Mold

This mold does not include a pre-made wick hole, so use a metal skewer to create one before threading your wick through the large opening. Seal the hole, leaving about 0.5” of wick exposed at the bottom of the mold—remember, this will become the top of your finished candle. Because of the mold’s intricate shape, apply a mold release spray to make demolding easier and preserve fine details. Pour in your melted wax, keeping the wick centered with a wick bar. Once the wax has fully set, carefully remove the candle from the mold and trim both ends of the wick to about 0.25”.
