Aluminum Candle Making Molds For the Pillar Candle
When the topic of candle making molds comes up, the door swings wide open to go in unlimited directions. As a beginner, I recommend that you start out with something easy and disposable. Make sure that you enjoy candle making before investing in candle making molds.
For your first project, you could use milk cartons, plastic cups, Pringles cans, egg cartons or my favorite the Chinese take-out containers for your wax molds. Use what you have available. Try a few easy projects before going onto more formal candles.
Now, having said that let me jump to the other end of the spectrum on this topic. I look for and find the best deals I can when searching for quality in my wax, wicks and additives for color and scent. When the wax, color and scent are fresh, it seems the look, texture, color and smell of my candles reflect level of ingredients I use.
The mold you choose must reflect the candle design you are after. If you are chasing off bugs in the back yard, go ahead and give the milk carton a try. However, just remember, the better the mold, the better the finished product. If you put your candle is to be a gift or put in a place for all to see; than this is a different story. Quality matters in the selection of your mold.
Let’s focus on the pillar candle. My material of choice is aluminum. Once I purchase my mold, I expect it to last a long time. I like to buy tools and equipment for my craft that add to my equipment selection. Eventually, this will give me a wide selection of molds to choose from depending on the type of candle I want to make.
Plastics, rubber, and other materials have a specific purpose and I use them, however, when I was first starting out my budget was slim and I wanted to develop a foundation for my new hobby. There was such a big list of things I wanted to buy.
Looking back with what I know now, choosing an assorted collection of aluminum molds would be my recommendation for the new candle maker. The pillar molds can be tall or short, narrow or wide and they do not have to be round. The molds in a star shape or hexagon are wonderful.
Aluminum molds are easy to strip after the pour and cleaning only requires a trip to the oven on a cookie sheet with some heat. Place them upside down on a sheet of wax paper in a warm oven and the wax just melts right off. You can even scrape the wax into a bucket to use again!
The only way you can damage your molds are if they get dented. This is the only draw back I have experienced. When you put your candle making molds away until the next time, it helps to put them into a storage container that keeps them safe!
