Create a Custom Candle Mold or Soap Mold

Have you noticed an item in your home that you thought would make a unique candle and/or soap mold? Did you then realize that making the mold was a difficult and costly endeavor? This was truly the case until Miracle Mold Material (M3) came along.

We have selected a flower to use for this project, but you can use any similar object. The best project to get started with should be simple, until you learn how to work with the material.

The first step is to take equal part of the material (again, starting with something small and only using a small portion of the material). One is an ivory color and the other is yellow. Mix them together thoroughly by hand. You will know they are mixed together thoroughly when the material is a consistent yellow with no streaks. You will have to work fast because the material will start to set in about 5 minutes.

The next step is to take the material and form it around the flower. Make sure you apply pressure throughout the object and that there is some level of thickness to the material around the object. Depending on what the object is, leave the bottom of the object open so you can pour the wax/soap base into the complete mold. The thicker the molding material is, the more durable the mold will be in the future.

Once you have the material uniformly covered (leaving the bottom open), take the bottom of the mold/top of the candle and gently flatten it out so the mold will rest flat.

Let the product set, which generally takes 30-40 minutes, and then remove your object from the material. You now have your finished mold, and you can take the wax and pour it into the mold.

    1. Making custom molds will need a “master” to cast the mold off of. It need to be a pretty dense material. If you have that would recommend using a silicone to make the mold itself.

    1. Unfortunately we no longer can make custom molds. Sorry could not have been more assistance.

  1. I made melt-and-pour soups to sell at craft shows for nearly 20 years. I’m not doing craft shows anymore but have hundreds of silicone and plastic moves that I no longer need. I would love to be able to give them to someone who would be interested in using them. Many animals, foods, flowers, shapes, etc. Is there a way for someone to contact me if they’re interested?
