Dear friends, today I would like to share with you how to make a special Christmas tree candle with a silicon mold. This production process is both full of creativity and very practical, let's feel the fun of handmade together!
First, let's take a look at the silicon molds. Silicon mold is a high quality, high life, high stability candle making tool, made from silica gel. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, not easy to wear, making candles more convenient and efficient. At the same time, the application range of silicon mold is very wide, we can use it to make a variety of different shapes and colors of candles.
Entering the production process, we need to prepare the following materials: candle wax, candle core, essence (optional), silicon mold (can choose the shape of the Christmas tree), etc.
Before making, melting the candle wax. Melt the candle wax in the microwave or hot water. Then add the essence and stir well.
Next, the melted wax material was poured into the silicon mold until the mold was filled. At this point, tools such as mixing bars can be used to help fill the mold.
Subsequently, let the candle wax set. It usually takes hours to wait for the candle to completely set before the next step.
When the candle is completely set, we can take off the candle. Gently unmold the silicon mold, you can get the exquisite Christmas tree candles.
Finally, we can decorate the Christmas tree candles according to our personal preferences, such as adding some small ornaments or colorful lights, to make the candles more vivid and lovely.
There are several things to be noted in the production process:
1. Temperature control: silica gel will accelerate aging at high temperature, so long high temperature should be avoided in the production process. At the same time, keep the working environment clean and dry to avoid temperature changes causing silicone cracking.
2. Moulding skills: mold removal should be careful to avoid candle damage caused by excessive force. It is recommended to gently tap the mold a few times before stripping to better separate the candle from the mold.
3. Safety problems: When using silicone mold, attention should be paid to avoid contact with high temperature wax material to avoid scalding. At the same time, if you are allergic to any ingredients or have symptoms, please stop using immediately and seek medical help.
4. Maintenance and cleaning: silicone mold, with a certain adsorption, easy to be contaminated with dust and dirt. So it is best to clean and maintain in time after use, maintain its good use state, you can wipe with a soft cloth or clean with a small amount of soapy water, and then rinse with water and natural air drying, so that you can make your silicone mold more durable!
