Candle moulds of all shapes

Discover a comprehensive range of candle moulds: cylindrical, rectangular, pyramidal or round.

Timeless formats that remain just as elegant, helping to create a warm atmosphere in every room of the home. Terre de Bougies also offers a fine selection of moulds for tealights, a classic, economical and particularly handy choice for everyday use as well as small-series making.

Christmas trees, birthday candles, room-divider candles, moulded wax decorations — a wide range of signature shapes awaits to mark every occasion.

You will also find moulds specially designed to create floating candles. Perfect for a centrepiece or an aquatic ambiance, these unique creations bring a true touch of elegance to any interior decor.

Beyond candle moulds, you will also find moulds to work with wax and craft beautiful decorations. Presented alone or alongside another wax creation, they help build perfectly coherent olfactory and visual worlds.

The different types of mould

Candle moulds come in several materials, each with its own technical characteristics and influence on craftsmanship quality. The main families are:

• Polycarbonate moulds: highly heat-resistant (up to 120°C) and fully transparent, they let you watch the wax during the set and are ideal for coloured and pigmented candles.
• Aluminium moulds: robust under high temperatures, they are the go-to choice for waxes requiring hot pouring and deliver a smooth, precise and durable finish.
• Latex moulds: suited to original shapes and detailed reliefs, they are however not recommended with stearin-based waxes, which can alter the material.
• Silicone moulds: premium, flexible and long-lasting moulds, best used with beeswax or rapeseed wax for a flawless unmoulding, even on the most detailed pieces.

How to use them in your candles?

Candle moulds are used differently depending on the piece you want to make. Two main methods structure the practice:

• "Container" moulds: for classic shapes where the wax is simply poured into the container, which then becomes the final support for the candle once cooled — no unmoulding required.
• "Closed" moulds: once poured and set, the wax is fully unmoulded to deliver a stand-alone piece, ready to be used or gifted.

To help you get the hang of these different tools, Terre de Bougies offers dedicated training sessions where our experts guide you step by step in making your candles — the right gestures, pouring temperatures, unmoulding tips and clean finishes.
