Pillar Candles Pillar Introduction Equipment Tips Troubleshooting Tips

Pillar Candles Introduction Pillar candles are sturdy and thick and can be short, tall, square or round.  Some pillar candles are huge and contain multiple wicks.  Pillar candles are usually referred to by their diameter and height as in a three by five inch candle. Pillar Candles have become very popular in the last few years for in-home decorations.

 

 

 

 

 

Pillar candles are made using a mold which can either be shop bought or from any suitable homemade one such as an empty yogurt container. For many of my pillar candles, and especially when I teach people how to make their first pillars, I use  a three inch by eight inch round metal pillar mold with a wick pin built in.

Pillar candles often need wax additives, with searin, for example, being particularly useful in easing the candle from the mold once it has cooled.
