Concrete Acorn Candle

Interested in the steps involved in creating each acorn candle?

(Or maybe wondering why they cost the price they do >.<)

• First I made the concrete from scratch using sand, cement and plaster to get that smooth finish.
• Then I proceeded to cast the container in a silicone mould and left to cure for 24 hours.
• Once cured, they were demoulded and left to cure for a further 2 days.
• Then it was on to sanding away any imperfections.
• Each container was dipped in sealer, allowed to dry then again for a second coat to ensure the container is safe for wax.
• Then on to decorating.
• A final layer of gloss coat got sprayed on top to protect everything.
• Finally I could then begin the candle making process.

A lot of work, but their adorable appearance I think makes up for it. Plus each candle once gone can be cleaned and used as a acorn container to store trinkets inside.

Warning

• Concrete container make break if dropped
• Always use appropriate means of lighting the wick
• Never leave a flame unattended.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Place on a heat resistant surface
• Container may become hot
• Do not ingest this product
• Great deal goes into making each container safe for purpose. But if there are ever signs of cracking blow out the candle immediately and reach out via email so I can best advise you on what to do next.
