Product Overview
Bee & Daisy Botanical Pillar Silicone Candle Mold
Create a tall botanical pillar candle with raised bee, daisy, and foliage detail
The Bee & Daisy Botanical Pillar Silicone Candle Mold creates a tall decorative candle approximately 4.4 cm wide × 12 cm high (1.73 inches wide × 4.72 inches high). Its smooth pillar shape is accented with a raised honey bee, blooming daisies, and leafy botanical details for a garden-inspired candle design.
The finished candle’s taller profile makes it a strong choice for beeswax gifts, spring and summer displays, nature-themed gift baskets, farm-market products, and decorative candle collections. The botanical artwork gives the candle visual interest while maintaining a clean, upright pillar shape.

What Makes This Candle Mold Different?
This mold produces a taller, narrower pillar rather than a short, wide candle. At approximately 4.72 inches tall, the finished candle has a more substantial display presence while remaining compact at approximately 1.73 inches wide.
The raised bee and daisy design makes this a natural fit for beekeepers, gardeners, pollinator-themed gifts, spring collections, and handmade beeswax candles. It can be especially appealing when a customer wants a decorative pillar with a clearly visible bee design but does not want a fully honeycomb-textured candle.
Making Candles With This Mold
The raised bee, flower, and leaf features are the most detailed areas of the candle. A controlled pour and careful demolding process help protect those details.
- Center and secure the wick before pouring.
- Prepare the wax and candle-making equipment for your selected wax type.
- Pour slowly and steadily to help wax flow into the raised botanical detail areas.
- Gently tap the mold after pouring to help release trapped air.
- Recheck wick alignment before the wax begins to firm.
- Allow the candle to cool completely before removing it from the mold.
- If cooling creates a depression around the wick, use a small topping pour when needed.
- Gently peel the flexible silicone away from the finished candle during demolding.
Do not rush removal. The candle may appear firm on the outside while the center is still warm and soft. Allowing complete cooling helps preserve the candle’s smooth shape and raised bee-and-flower details.
Choosing a Wick for the Finished Candle
The finished candle measures approximately 1.73 inches wide. That width is a useful starting point for wick selection, but it does not establish one universal wick size.
Wax type, fragrance, dye, additives, wick construction, and the desired burn performance can all affect the correct choice. Test-burn the finished wax-and-wick combination before producing candles for gifts, sales, or larger batches.
What You’ll Need for Candle Making
This is a candle-forming mold rather than a complete candle-making kit. Before beginning, have the appropriate wax, wick, melting and pouring equipment, and any colors or fragrance materials you plan to use.
Wax, wick, dyes, fragrance, and other candle-making supplies are sold separately.
Cooling and Demolding
Allow the candle to cool completely and become firm throughout before removing it from the mold. Cooling time can vary based on the wax type, room temperature, pour temperature, and additives used.
When ready to demold, gently flex and peel the silicone away from the candle instead of pulling forcefully on the candle itself. This helps protect the raised bee, petals, leaves, and stems from unnecessary stress during release.
Cleaning and Storing the Silicone Candle Mold
After the mold has cooled, gently flex it to remove residual wax. Inspect the bee, flower, and leaf details where small amounts of wax may remain.
When additional cleaning is needed:
- Hand wash with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Use a soft cloth, sponge, or soft-bristled brush.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the mold to dry completely before storing.
Avoid knives, metal picks, abrasive pads, and sharp tools that could cut or puncture the silicone. Store the clean, dry mold in its natural shape in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, folding, crushing, or heavy objects.
When Should a Silicone Candle Mold Be Replaced?
Replace the mold when its physical condition begins affecting candle shape, decorative detail, or reliable release. Inspect it if you notice cuts, punctures, tears, permanent stretching, distortion, deteriorating detail areas, or recurring defects in the same location of finished candles.
Cosmetic staining or slight discoloration alone does not necessarily mean the mold needs to be replaced. Condition and performance matter more than age.
Is This Candle Mold Right for Your Project?
Choose this mold when you want a tall, narrow botanical candle with a raised honey bee and daisy design. It is especially suited to bee-themed gifts, garden-inspired displays, spring and summer markets, and decorative beeswax pillar candles.
It can be used by beginning candle makers, although the raised botanical details may take some practice to reproduce consistently. Slower pouring, gentle tapping, complete cooling, and careful demolding are especially helpful with detailed candle designs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size candle does this mold make?
The finished candle measures approximately 4.4 cm wide × 12 cm high, or approximately 1.73 inches wide × 4.72 inches high.
Does the listing include wax or a wick?
No. This listing is for the candle mold only. Wax, wick, dyes, fragrance, and other candle-making supplies are sold separately.
What wick size should I use?
The finished candle’s approximately 1.73-inch width is a useful starting point, but wick choice should be confirmed through test burns using your exact wax, wick, fragrance, dye, and additives.
Why did some of the raised design not come out clearly?
Trapped air, pouring too quickly, incomplete cooling, or rough demolding can affect detailed areas. Pour slowly, gently tap the mold after pouring, allow complete cooling, and peel the silicone away carefully.
How should I clean the mold?
Remove residual wax by gently flexing the cooled silicone. When needed, hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap using only soft cleaning tools, then dry completely before storage.
When should I remove the candle from the mold?
Remove the candle only after it has cooled completely and is firm throughout. Gently peel the silicone away from the candle instead of forcefully pulling the candle from the mold.
