The Azlok 3D Bubble Candle Silicone Mould lets you pour six bubble-shaped candles at once at home, using melted wax and a wick. You simply melt your wax, add colour and fragrance if you like, place the wick, pour, and let it set before unmoulding. It is the same trendy overlapping-sphere design you see in decor shops, made easy for hobbyists and small candle businesses.
What this mould is good for
This is a food-grade-style flexible silicone mould with 6 cavities, measuring roughly 6 x 6 x 5 cm and weighing about 110 grams. The white, elastic silicone is reusable and gives a smooth, polished finish. People mainly use it for:
- Decorative candles for the living room, bedroom or pooja corner
- Gifting handmade candles during Diwali, weddings and housewarmings
- Small-batch selling for home candle businesses and Instagram shops
- Craft experiments like layered colours, marbling or embedded dried flowers
Because silicone is flexible, the finished bubble candles pop out cleanly without cracking the edges.
How to make a bubble candle step by step
- Choose your wax. Soy wax and paraffin both work well. Melt it gently in a double boiler until fully liquid.
- Prepare the wick. Thread a pre-waxed wick through the cavity, or add it after a thin layer sets. Keep it centred and upright.
- Add colour and fragrance. Stir in candle dye and a fragrance oil once the wax is off the heat and slightly cooled, following the fragrance load your wax allows.
- Pour. Fill each of the six cavities slowly to avoid air bubbles. Place the mould on a flat, stable tray.
- Set. Let the candles cure at room temperature for several hours, or overnight for a firmer set. Do not refrigerate, as sudden cooling can cause cracks.
- Unmould. Gently flex the silicone and push from the base to release each candle. Trim the wick to about 1 cm before lighting.
Tips for a cleaner finish
- Pour at the temperature recommended for your specific wax to avoid frosting and sink holes.
- Tap the mould lightly after pouring to bring trapped air bubbles to the surface.
- If the top looks uneven after setting, warm it briefly with a heat gun or top up with a little extra wax.
- For coloured layers, let each layer firm up slightly before adding the next.
Safety notes
Melted wax is hot and can burn, so handle with care and keep children and pets away from your work area. Work in a ventilated space when using fragrance oils and dyes. Never leave melting wax unattended on the stove. When burning the finished candle, place it on a heat-resistant surface, keep it away from curtains and drafts, and never leave a lit candle unattended. Fragrance oils and dyes are not for eating.
Buying and storage
Azlok offers this mould in packs of 1, 2 or 5, priced at ₹499 for a single unit, which suits both first-time makers and those scaling up production. To make it last:
- Wash with warm, mild soapy water and dry fully before storing.
- Avoid sharp tools inside the cavities, which can nick the silicone.
- Store flat, away from direct sunlight and dust, so the shape stays true.
With basic care, a good silicone mould can be reused many times, making it an economical choice for regular crafters.
FAQ
How many candles does this mould make at once?
It has 6 cavities, so you can cast six bubble candles in a single pour.
