2D Bubble Candle Silicone Mould: A Simple Guide to Casting Cube Candles at Home

The Azlok 2D Bubble Candle Silicone Mould lets you cast small decorative bubble-cube candles at home in one pour, with 15 cavities that each shape a roughly 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm candle. You melt wax, add colour and fragrance, pour into the flexible silicone cavities, add wicks, and pop out the set candles once they cool. It is a straightforward starting point for both hobbyists and small candle sellers.

What this mould is good for

The bubble candle has become a popular home-decor shape, and this mould gives you a batch of them at once. Because the pieces are small and uniform, they are handy for a few different purposes:

• Decorative candles for shelves, dining tables and pooja corners
• Return gifts, wedding favours and festive hampers
• Testing new fragrance and colour combinations in small quantities
• Small-batch production for a home candle business

The mould is made from soft, sturdy white silicone that flexes easily, so demoulding is gentle and the bubble edges stay crisp.

How to use the 2D bubble candle mould

Candle making is forgiving once you have a rhythm. Here is a simple sequence:

1. Prepare your wax: Melt soy wax, paraffin or a blend using a double boiler. Aim for the temperature suggested on your wax packet, usually around 60–70°C.
2. Add colour and fragrance: Stir in candle dye and fragrance oil once the wax is off the direct heat. Fragrance is typically added at a slightly lower temperature to preserve the scent.
3. Pour: Fill each of the 15 cavities steadily, leaving a small gap at the top.
4. Set the wick: Once the wax starts to thicken slightly, insert a pre-waxed wick into the centre of each cavity. A wick holder or clip keeps it upright.
5. Cool completely: Let the candles cure at room temperature. Do not rush this in the fridge, as sudden cooling can cause cracks or an uneven surface.
6. Demould: Gently flex the silicone and push from the base. The candles should slide out cleanly. Trim each wick to about 6–8 mm.

Tips for better results

• Do a top-up pour if you notice sinking around the wick as the wax cools; keep a little melted wax aside.
• Choose the right wick size for a small cube so the flame is steady and the wax pools evenly.
• Let candles cure for a day or two before lighting or gifting; the scent and finish improve.
• Wipe the mould between uses with a soft cloth rather than scrubbing, to keep the surface smooth.

Safety notes

Hot wax can burn, so pour carefully and keep children and pets away from your work area. Work in a ventilated space, especially when using fragrance oils. Never leave melting wax unattended on the stove. When burning the finished candles, place them on a heat-safe surface away from curtains and other flammables, and do not leave a lit candle unattended.

Buying and storage

Azlok offers this mould in a Pack of 1 (15 cavities), Pack of 2 (30 cavities), Pack of 5 (150 cavities) and Pack of 10 (300 cavities), so you can scale from a weekend hobby to regular small-batch production. The single pack is priced at ₹449. Larger packs make sense if you sell candles or want to pour many at once without waiting for a mould to cool between rounds.

Store the silicone flat and clean, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects that could nick the surface. Kept well, a good silicone mould lasts through many pours. Being made in India and lightweight at around 10 grams per unit, it is easy to handle and store.

FAQ

What type of wax works with this mould?

Soy wax, paraffin and blended waxes all work. Soy is popular for a clean, natural finish, while paraffin holds fragrance and colour strongly. Follow the melting temperature on your wax packet.

How many candles can I make at once?

The single mould has 15 cavities, so you get 15 small bubble candles per pour. Multi-packs let you cast up to 300 at a time with the Pack of 10.

How do I remove the candles without breaking them?

Let the wax cool completely, then gently flex the silicone and push from the base. Cooling too fast can cause cracks, so allow the candles to set at room temperature.

Can I use this mould for resin or soap instead of wax?

The mould is designed and described for candle making. While silicone moulds are often used for other crafts, we recommend using it as intended for the best and safest results.

Is any wick included?

The listing is for the silicone mould only. You will need to buy wicks, wax, dye and fragrance separately, many of which are available in the Azlok candle-making range.
