Hello, I am a volunteer with a nonprofit that helps foster children. 
As a gift to families who support us, we would like to make candles in
the shape of a house.  This would symbolize the warmth of home.  My
question is: where can I find a candle mold in the shape of a house?

I have already found gingerbread houses and lighthouses, and one
"Irish cottage" mold (on eBay) but these are not generic enough (I
don't think any of our donors live in lighthouses).  I'd like to find
something very basic -- for example, something like a children's
drawing of a house.  The size is open, keeping in mind I'll be making
200 of these in my kitchen over the next few months!

Thanks so much,

Hi

Please take a look at these two cottages that look like houses.

Would these candle molds be suitable?

Thanks

Hello bobbie7 and thank you so much.  These are I believe the same
molds that I saw on eBay described as an "Irish cottage."

I should have been more specific.  I am looking for a simple house
shape such as:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32884&item=2084133115&rd=1

... and ideally in a candle mold like this mold, which happens to be
for an apple:

I like the simple lines and the two tones.  With two tones, we can use
our "colors" (blue and white).

I realize that I could ask the company that produces the apple candle
mold if they could make a house mold.  That is a possibility, but as
I'm volunteering I am hoping to save money where possible.

Thank you,

marthasvineyard

this site offers a "cabin and road" mold, but no picture is online

I have several candle & plaster mold catalogs and do not see a
"generic" house in any of them.  I have one more at the office I will
check tomorrow.  If you can't find the mold you seek, you can have one
made.  Here is a company that makes flexible molds:
