BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Candlemaking Cheapest Candle molds ?

I am intrested in making floating candles. Cand anyone guid me to buying floating candle molds that are the cheapest - ive seen a couple of sites but the pricing seem to vary some seel them at 4$ + while one sells the same at 15$.

I am refering to polycarbonate tray molds ( 6 cavities) from which one can make floaters like daisy, duck, star, sunburst, heart, Clover, Duck, Maple Leaf, Star, Sun, and fish n so on ....

Am so confused- can anyone help

I think i found a site thro google search which sells cheap floating candle molds you can find it at www.seventhsenseindia.com !!

Try www.candlesandsupplies.com and request a catalog. You'll find EVERYTHING there. I don't buy from anywhere else.

For cheap, round molds for pillar candles...PVC pipe. Yup, my hubby cut various diameters of pipe to the lengths I wanted. Spray with good old PAM to keep from sticking. Just set on a plastic butter bowl lid or whatever and use that wick molding clay to go around the seam.

Good luck.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for the links. There very useful.

lmac a crafter told me one time that she didn't spray her PVC with PAM but that she would heat the outside of the plastic after her soap or candles were set. I'm afraid to try this for fear of wasting a batch of soap or several pounds of wax. Have you ever heard of this?

I used to make my own household emergency candles using empty toilet paper rolls tubes as the mold. Just put foil on the bottom, securely tape the wick in and pur the wax in. It makes a candle that will burn for 16 hours. I have not done this for a long time but know that the candles were good. I just used regular parrafin, no fragrance.

That's so cool. I have to try that.

Hello,

Candle making is quite a profitable business,you can also sell these items as a bridal shower favors, they are high in demand. Beautiful and colorful candles easily catches the eyes. So try to sell it on market or better idea sell it on net, it will cost very little to you and you will make big profit with it. Best of Luck
