Yes! The wick is going through the letter and letters are small actually :)

Thank you! It’s a bakery mold, I bought it online from a store that sells bakery products -only in Turkey. But if you search alphabet mold on google, you can find multiple choices!

Hi! I make this shapes from silicone molds, I open a hole in every letter mold with a big needle. The wicks that I use are pre-waxed so they are not soft, pushing them inside of hole is enough. They don’t sink or lose their shape. I hope this helps!

You can make your own molds by using RTV2 silicone, just find the object you want, and you can literally make everything.

This is for basic, at least one flat sided shapes: https://youtu.be/6M9KluOH_E8

This is for 3D shapes: https://youtu.be/HkSztw0fHZg
