Four nutcracker soldiers form one tall Christmas candle in this distinctive silicone mold. Each stacked figure has a traditional tall hat, curled hair, moustache and decorative uniform, creating a playful column of festive characters rather than a standard single-soldier candle.
The photos show finished candles in several colour combinations, but they are all examples of one stacked-nutcracker design. Use the mold to make a sculptural, freestanding candle for your holiday projects. Browse our Nutcracker candle molds for other Christmas soldier designs.
Place the tall mold upright in a stable support before pouring. For candles, use a wax formulated for freestanding molded shapes and follow the wax manufacturer's temperature and handling instructions. Centre and secure a suitable wick if the candle will be lit. Allow the casting to cool and harden fully, then release the soldiers and their small details gradually without pulling on the narrow sections.
Because this is a detailed sculptural candle, test the finished candle's wick, stability and burn behaviour before using or gifting it as a burnable candle. Keep lit candles on an appropriate heat-resistant surface and never leave them unattended.
Remove residue gently with mild soap and lukewarm water when needed; dry thoroughly before storing. Avoid sharp implements and excessive stretching around the raised hats, noses and decorative trim. Store flat or supported, away from crushing pressure.
One stacked nutcracker soldiers silicone mold. Finished candles, wax, wick, colouring and styling props shown in photos are not included.
No. The photos demonstrate different ways to colour the same four-soldier casting; this listing contains one mold design.
Choose a wax suitable for freestanding molded candles. Container-only waxes may not hold the tall, detailed shape reliably. Always follow your wax and wick manufacturers' instructions and burn-test any candle you plan to light.
