Candle Making Lessons: How To Turn A Milk Carton Into A Candle Mold

Candle making using molds is fun and creative. You can use lots of different things for molds, even a milk carton. We’ll show you how to turn a milk carton into a candle mold.

Cut the top of the milk carton away. Make a hole in the bottom of the milk carton with an awl. Feed the wicking through the hole at bottom of mold leaving about one inch of wick. Coil the end of the wick. Roll the mold sealer into a ball and press it over the coiled wick to seal the bottom of the mold. Tie other end of the wick to a skewer and prop it across the top of the milk carton mold. Trim off excess wicking.

It is important that the wick is centered from top to bottom so you can safely burn your candle. It is also important to choose the right size wick for your candle. To determine the size of the wick for your candle, measure the diameter of your mold. Then match that diameter with the wick packaging. The size of a wick refers to the diameter of the wick itself and how wide it will burn. It is important to choose a wick that will not burn too wide for the candle.

Now you are ready to melt and pour your wax. We show the entire process for ten different candles in our course on candle making at Curious.com. If you’ve never tried Curious, check it out.
