Candles come in a wide variety of shapes and colours, with or without scent and in all sizes. This is no wonder, because candlelight creates a beautiful atmosphere all year round. We have cast our candles with a concrete base, making them even more original. In this guide you will learn how to cast these beautiful candles with a concrete base.

Pyramid candles:

Fold up the mould and fix everything with the enclosed clamping rail. The paper mould is coated on the inside with silicone, which prevents the hot wax from sticking after filling into the mould. At the same time, the coating makes the mould easier to remove. Place the mould at a slight angle in the mould holder. Wrap the waxed wick around a rod a few times, place it on top of the pyramid and hang the wick in the mould. The wick is pulled through the tip at the bottom and finally sealed with the enclosed silicone disc

Now mix the concrete with water according to the package instructions and put the casting compound aside. Now melt the wax in the melting pot and add some coloring granulate as desired. Pour the wax into the mould, let it dry a little and add the concrete mixture so that the wax and concrete can bond a little. The finished candle should dry in the mould for at least 24 hours.
You have never cast candles yourself and do not know what to look out for? In our basic instructions for candle making you will find everything important explained in detail. Just click here.
