From Plaster to Wax: A Tablet-Making Guide

How to Use Tablet Molds

Create both wax tablets and plaster tablets using a single mold. Explore how the making process differs depending on the material, along with decorative techniques and styling ideas to bring out the best in each design. From seasonal touches to creative finishing details, discover different ways to make each tablet your own.

01

Plaster Scented Ornaments

Plaster scented ornaments are easy to make with just a few simple materials, making them a great starting point for anyone new to tablet DIY. The simple process and short crafting time also make them ideal for beginner workshops and children's craft activities. When the fragrance begins to fade, simply add a few more drops of fragrance oil to refresh the scent. Seasonal molds, such as Christmas trees and snowflakes, are perfect for creating scented ornaments that capture the spirit of the season.

Coloured Plaster Scented Ornaments

Create plaster scented ornaments in your favourite colours using pigment powder. Its fine texture blends evenly into the plaster without clumping, allowing you to adjust the colour intensity simply by changing the amount used. From vibrant shades to soft pastels, experiment with different colours to create ornaments that reflect your personal style.

Wax Tablets

CW's tablet molds can be used with both ornament plaster powder and candle wax, offering different creative possibilities depending on the material you choose. Wax tablets are made using refined white beeswax. Refer to the recommended wax quantity listed on each mold's product page before getting started.

One of the best things about wax tablets is the freedom to customise them with your choice of fragrance, colour and decorative details. Add dried flowers or other decorative elements to create your own style. Even when using the same mold, different combinations of fragrance, colour and decoration can give each tablet a completely different look. Seasonal decorations also make it easy to create designs for any time of year.

Wax Tablets with Flower Mold Embellishments

Add dimension to your wax tablets with flower molds. Small wax flowers in different shapes bring depth and volume to the surface, creating a fuller, more detailed design. Arrange the flowers in different ways to give each tablet its own unique look.
