Votive Candle Molds Seamless Aluminum Steel Molds with 10 Wick Pins

These molds make votive making the simplest possible. Efficient and sturdy, they make making a ton of votive a fast and fun project.

The stems for the wicks aren't perfectly straight and if you try to straighten them gently they just break.

These work very well for creating a candle where you add the wick after. I was a little nervous about getting the wax out of them, but they are so easy to remove and I use a knife to loosen the bottom and pop the needle out. Would definitely recommend and I will use these regularly for my votive candle making.

These made two sets of votives and then the candles began to stick. I’ll be doing some research to see what might work to fix them, but right now they are all full of wax and there is no getting them out even after the freezer and then melting the bottoms.

I only got about 3 batches of votives made before this product began to rust

Whether you're making candles as a side gig or a hobby, these are nice to have in your arsenal. The only caveat I'd have if you're considering buying them is that they're slightly tricky to de-mold depending on the wax you're using (one batch really wanted to stay in the mold even after it'd hardened completely). I don't know if this is the product or user error, so I'm not deducting stars for it, but it's something to be aware of.

I'm a seasoned candle maker and honestly I thought this would be pretty awesome for making votives. Turns out I was wrong though, as the metal wick pins break off pretty easily and without much effort. One of them arrived broken so I ordered a replacement. The replacement has already had 2 that broke when trying to pull them out of a candle. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so expensive. Would NOT buy again (or in the first place if I knew what I was buying).

Nothing was damaged during shipping as others have reported. I suggest polishing the inside of these molds and use mold release, otherwise it will be difficult to extract the candle. A Dremel will work for polishing.
