Create an elegant take on the classic Halloween ghost with the Tall Draped Ghost Silicone Candle Mold. This sculptural design features a smooth rounded head, two simple oval eyes and long cascading folds that flow downward like a draped sheet.
Available in two sizes, the mold creates tall, slender ghost candles with a striking vertical silhouette. The minimalist face keeps the design playful and recognisable, while the deeply sculpted folds give the finished candle plenty of texture and movement from every angle.
Key Features
- Classic draped ghost design: Creates a tall sheet-style ghost with long flowing folds extending down the body.
- Minimalist spooky face: Two small oval eyes provide a simple, instantly recognisable ghost expression.
- Deep sculptural folds: Layered fabric-like contours create natural highlights and shadows across the finished candle.
- Two size options: Choose between a more compact tall ghost and a larger statement version.
- Freestanding form: The flowing lower folds widen toward the base to complete the sculptural silhouette.
- Flexible silicone construction: Helps the mold peel gradually away after the candle has fully cooled and hardened.
- Reusable: Suitable for repeated Halloween candle-making and craft projects when properly cleaned and stored.
Create Tall Halloween Ghost Candles
White, ivory and cream wax give this design the appearance of a traditional floating sheet ghost, while black, charcoal and deep purple can create a darker gothic look. Orange, sage, blush or pastel shades work well for more playful modern Halloween collections.
Because the design relies heavily on its long sculptural folds, it remains visually interesting even when poured entirely in one colour. The larger size makes a strong seasonal statement piece, while the smaller version works well for grouped arrangements and Halloween gift sets.
The finished ghosts can be displayed alongside pumpkins, haunted houses, skulls and other Halloween candles to create a coordinated spooky-season collection.
Wick size, fragrance load, pouring temperature and cooling time depend on your wax formulation and selected finished size. Use a wax formulated for molded or freestanding candles, follow the manufacturer's recommendations and complete proper burn testing before using or selling finished candles.
Basic Use Guidance
- Select your preferred ghost size.
- Position and secure an appropriate wick through the intended centre of the mold.
- Support the tall silicone mold upright on a stable, level surface.
- Prepare your wax according to the wax manufacturer's instructions.
- Pour gradually so the wax can reach the deeper folds around the lower body.
- Allow the candle to cool and harden completely before attempting removal.
- Peel the silicone gradually away from the ghost rather than pulling the finished candle straight out.
Demolding the Tall Ghost
The product images recommend creating a controlled slit along the side of the mold to make removal easier. If your mold requires this step, make only the minimum necessary opening and keep the cut controlled so the mold remains properly aligned.
Before pouring through a mold with a side slit, secure the opening appropriately to help prevent separation or leakage. During demolding, open the slit gradually and peel the silicone away from the flowing folds.
Care and Storage
Clean the silicone gently with mild soap and lukewarm water after it has cooled. Avoid sharp tools and abrasive brushes inside the cavity. Dry thoroughly and store the mold in its natural shape away from direct sunlight and strong heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there two sizes available?
Yes. Although the supplier specifications list only the smaller mold size, the uploaded product images show both Small and Large versions.
How tall are the finished ghost candles?
The Small finished candle is approximately 13.7 cm (5.39 inches) tall, while the Large version is approximately 18.2 cm (7.17 inches) tall.
What are the approximate finished candle weights?
The product images show approximately 49 g for the Small ghost and 78 g for the Large ghost. Actual weight may vary depending on the wax and wick used.
Does this ghost have a mouth?
No. The design has a minimalist face consisting of two small oval eyes, giving it a cleaner and more traditional sheet-ghost appearance.
Can I use soy wax with this mold?
Yes, but choose a soy wax formulated for molded or freestanding candles. Softer container wax may not provide enough rigidity for these tall, narrow shapes.
How is this different from the Wavy Ghost taper mold?
This design resembles a classic sheet ghost with long cascading draped folds and a minimalist two-eye face. The Wavy Ghost in the Halloween Character Taper collection has a more twisted character-taper silhouette, making the two products visually distinct.
How should I demold such a tall candle?
Allow the candle to become fully firm first. Then peel the silicone gradually away along the side, working down the candle section by section rather than pulling directly on the narrow ghost body.
