Christmas Molds

38 Christmas silicone molds covering the three things people actually make in December: candles, hanging ornaments, and cast decorations. Trees, Santa, reindeer, snowflakes, pine cottages and a seven-piece tealight village - poured in wax, plaster or resin depending on the finish you want.

Start casting Christmas stock in September

If you sell handmade, Christmas molds are a Q3 purchase, not a Q4 one. Plaster ornaments need to cure and be painted; resin needs full cure time before it can ship; candles need to cure and be tested. Makers who start in September have finished inventory by the time buyers start looking in November.

Ornaments, candles, or lamps

The hanging ornament molds are open-face and fast - cast in plaster, paint, thread a ribbon through, done. The candle molds are closed 3D forms that produce a standalone piece. The silhouette lamp molds are the highest-value items here: cast in plaster, they diffuse an LED tealight through the wall of the piece, which is a very different product from a flat ornament and prices accordingly.

Finishing plaster Christmas casts

Plaster takes paint better than resin and is far cheaper per unit, which is why most Christmas ornament sellers cast in plaster. Let each piece dry fully - plaster looks white long before it is actually dry - then seal before painting if you want colour to sit on the surface instead of soaking in.
