Summary

Molds for making candles that look like the three most famous buildings in bikini bottom!

Attribution
I took inspiration and some models from the following - very nice - things:

Scaling
The scale is different for the 3 houses. To give them compareable sizes, I've used these scale settings:

  • spongebob models: 46% size
  • patrick models: 46% size
  • squidward models: 55% Size

Candle making

  • Print the mold
  • use Filler Spray on the inside
  • sand the inside to get a smoth surface
  • put in candle wick and glue to bottom of mold
  • close mold
  • put tape around the edges
  • secure mold with rubber bands
  • insert molten wax (repeatedly since it shrinks quite a lot)
  • wait for it to harden
  • open the mold and clean the model around the edges
  • add attachments (remove attachments in case you want to burn the candles!)
