Square tealight cups 39x39mm – plastic candle mould

A rainy afternoon. Leftover wax from old candles on the table. And the idea of turning it into something of your own. With these square plastic tealight cups, you can easily pour your own tealights: fill in the wax, fix the wick, done. Each cup is both the mould and the finished candle's cup. Just right for your craft table.

What changes for you

• You pour your own tealights without a separate mould. Each plastic cup works as the mould, and the tealight stays in it afterwards.
• Your wick stays centred and straight while you pour. That's thanks to the centre stop. You can fix a wick with a small metal foot there, for example.
• Your tealights stand out from the usual round ones. That's down to the square shape of 39 x 39 mm.
• You bring colour to your decorations. The cups come in transparent, yellow, green, orange or pink, depending on availability.
• You buy exactly the amount you need. Choose from a set of 4 for your first try up to a set of 50 for bigger projects.

Why these tealight cups make a difference every day

Home-made tealights offer something bought ones don't. You choose the wax, scent and colour yourself. And you put leftover candle ends to good use. The square shape suits the table, a lantern or the windowsill. A simple tealight becomes a small piece of handiwork. You can give it as a gift or light it yourself.

Material & finish

• PC plastic – keeps its shape when filled, so the wax sets cleanly.
• Centre stop – holds the wick in place while you pour. You don't need to hold it.
• Clean finish – for even edges and a neat result with every pour.
• Made in Germany.

How to use the tealight cups

• Candle making at home: melt down leftover wax, fix the wick at the centre stop and pour. Once it has set, you're holding your first home-made tealight.
• As a gift idea: pour tealights in different colours and wrap them nicely. You'll have a personal little present that not everyone has.
• Crafting with children: the handy size and the fixed wick keep pouring manageable. At the end, their own creation glows on the dinner table.
• In a craft class, a workshop or a small manufactory: with the set of 30, 40 or 50, you pour whole batches in one go. Same shape, same size, consistent results.
• As mood lighting in your decorations: spread finished tealights in coloured cups across a table or tray. The square shape brings calm and structure to your arrangement.

Good to know about tealights

The tealight gets its name from the teapot warmer. Originally, the small candle kept the teapot warm there. You can still use your home-made tealights for exactly that today. Or simply use them as mood lighting for cosy evenings.
