Latest Obsession – Cute Leaf Molds
I made these wax pumpkins the other day and honestly… I was this close to giving up on the mold. 😅
It felt frustrating at first—wax leaking out of the seams, nothing staying put. But then I cracked one open and… surprise! Inside was the cutest little pumpkin, and just like that, I was hooked. 🎃✨
I figured out a couple of tricks to make it work:
- First, I secured the mold tightly with rubber bands.
- Then I lightly coated the inside of the mold with a thin layer of wax.
No more leaks, and the pumpkins came out beautifully!
They turned out so adorable, I ended up making a whole bunch—definitely more than I needed. 😄
And if you’re into baking, this mold also makes the sweetest little chocolate pumpkins. You can get super creative with it—candles, wax melts, chocolates… the possibilities are endless.
