Create a festive Santa Claus candle jar with a sculptural figure at the front and an open candle cavity integrated into the rounded body behind him. This silicone mold forms a hollow Christmas vessel rather than a conventional solid Santa candle, giving the finished piece both decorative character and container functionality.
The Santa design features a full flowing beard, curled moustache, rounded Christmas hat, mittened hands, belt and buckle. Behind the figure, the body expands into a rounded vessel with an open top for decorative container casting and properly tested candle-vessel projects.

Santa Claus Open-Top Vessel Design
Unlike a solid Santa candle mold, this design creates a hollow container. The candle cavity is positioned at the upper rear of the finished Santa, while the detailed figure remains prominent at the front.
This mold is also different from a lidded Santa candle jar. There is no separate decorative lid in the supplied images; the cavity remains open at the top as part of the finished design.

Candle Vessel Safety
If you intend to use the finished Santa container as a candle vessel, cast it only from a non-combustible, heat-resistant material that has been appropriately sealed and tested for candle-vessel use.
Ordinary decorative plaster, gypsum, resin or concrete should not automatically be assumed suitable for exposure to candle heat or flame. Material formulation, wall thickness, sealing and finished-vessel testing all affect safe performance.
Basic Use Guidance
- Place the silicone mold securely on a flat, stable surface before filling.
- Prepare the selected casting material according to its manufacturer's mixing and curing instructions.
- Fill carefully around Santa's beard, moustache, hands, belt and other recessed details to reduce trapped air.
- Allow the casting to cure completely before attempting removal.
- Peel the silicone gradually away from the detailed face, beard, arms and vessel opening rather than pulling the casting out forcefully.
- Allow the finished vessel to reach its required final cure before sealing or testing it for candle use.
For candle use, wick size, fragrance load, pouring temperature and burn performance depend on your wax formulation, cavity dimensions and finished vessel material. Follow your wax, wick and fragrance manufacturers' recommendations and complete proper burn testing before using or selling finished candles.
Care and Storage
Clean the silicone gently after use and allow it to dry completely before storage. Avoid sharp tools around Santa's beard, facial details and the inner cavity. Store the mold in its natural shape without prolonged compression or folding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this mold create?
It creates a sculptural Santa Claus container with an open candle cavity built into the rounded rear section of the finished design.
Is this a solid Santa candle mold?
No. This design creates a hollow candle jar or decorative vessel rather than a solid freestanding Santa candle.
Does this Santa candle jar have a lid?
No. The uploaded images show an open-top vessel without a separate lid. This distinguishes it from the separate lidded Santa candle jar design.
How large is the finished design?
The supplier provides a size of 11.4 × 8 × 8.5 cm (4.49 × 3.15 × 3.35 inches).
How large is the inner cavity?
The supplied image shows an inner cavity of approximately 7 × 4.5 × 3.7 cm (2.76 × 1.77 × 1.46 inches).
How much wax does the cavity hold?
The product image gives an approximate wax-fill reference of 53 g. Actual usage can vary slightly according to wax formulation and making process.
Can the finished Santa vessel be used for burning a candle?
Only when it is cast from a non-combustible, heat-resistant material that has been appropriately sealed and tested for candle-vessel use.
Is this a wax melt burner?
The uploaded images show candle wax and a wick directly inside the open cavity. For that reason, the product is more accurately described as an open-top candle jar or vessel rather than primarily as a wax melt burner.
